John Meadows

Guy was a beast!! Was this at body power you spoke with him?

[Matt Wood]

Bit of a niche thing but in the Bodybuilding and Fitness Athlete world John Meadows passed away last night.

Legend in the industry and all round super nice guy, I had the pleasure of speaking to him very briefly a few years back. Type of guy everyone liked, you would have to go a long long way to find someone with a bad word about him.

Left behind a wife and two young boys

RIP John

@ryan Yea I think its something to do with combining the parents names and adding dottir for girls and son for boys. Or something like that lol, Im sure any Icelandic person will crucify me for my ignorance

[Ryan]

@matt-wood amazing, I think they have rules in Iceland about names - I’m sure they told me that when I was there, unless they were taking the p**s

Great shout! @matt-wood

Will keep my eye out on this!

[Matt Wood]

Obviously all the focus is on the Euros at the moment but Id just like to throw some support and attention to the Stoltman brothers. Worlds strongest man starts tomorrow and big Tom Stoltman finish 2nd last year. Lets hope he can go one further this year.

Anyone who might be interested, they have a youtube channel, Ive been following for a few years, and its really very cool to see Tom in particular use the strongman training and lifestyle to help with his autism.

Lets have Stoltman 1 and 2 this year lads

Does a bottle of Red Wine count as one of my five a day?

If only it did...

Just watched this on the Tube:

Sad story and a wasted talent, very under rated heavyweight in his day and not given enough credit now.

@matt-wood

Thanks for the tip, Matt.

[Matt Wood]

For anyone interested BBC is currently showing the European Olympic Boxing Qualifiers. Some good talent on display so far, as I type this there is a young Italian lady fighting, looks s**t hot!

[Ryan]

@matt-wood pretty in depth stuff, Ive been impressed so far.

I have just watched a few of Rich Rolls on YT as well - joy of having a baby up so early and then has to sleep on me I can watch YT in peace lol

[Matt Wood]

@ryan Not come across that one, will have to check it out, Thanks
