Appreciate the support!
The fact you don't shit on videogames as the majority of fitness youtubers would do makes me respect you even more. Plus you're into the golden era of computer RPG/D&D games :D Congrats on the 105k, Geoff!
Still keeping up every 5k Q&As when above 100k is exactly the level of dedication I would never expect of anyone, but am still not surprised to see from you. I just finished your last book yesterday and, big surprise, it's really fucking good. I'm sick right now, but can't wait to implement what I've learned as soon as I'm able to.
I think making a video on how running can help hypertrophy training which segues into a deeper discussion on running could be a good way to rope in your audience. Personally I would love a video on running, and all the intricacys involved. Appreciate your content btw, keep up the good work
Definitely agree on video games improving language skills. I've always been extremely proficient at English (especially when it comes to reading) and a lot of that was due to video games growing up and then later on reading books. I wasn't raised in an English speaking country but picked up most of my English language skills from these games. I think video games are underrated by people who crap on them. They definitely can be enjoyable, great for improving hand-eye coordination and various visual/congnitive skills. However, they can REALLY stunt your emotional growth, especially MMOs like you say. IMO, In 90% of cases MMOs are just a distraction from life. The game mechanics themselves rarely are inherently enjoyable and its mostly about this imaginary sense of progression. Thus, I rarely ever think that they are a good use of time. I don't play games very often but when I do, I find myself gravitating towards coop games, shorter games with good narratives, and fun action/fighting/shooting games. In general I value good mechanics, couch coop and pretty/cinematic experiences a lot more. When I was younger I gravitated towards MMOs and games with progression, lvling up, grinding, etc... But now I find that real life provides ample opportunity for that lol. Honestly, this focus on enjoyment applies to any game really! If you only played football to get trophies and "progress", it would also be a terrible use of your time. I think the trick is differentiating between genuine enjoyment and distraction from your pain or feeding into your ego and insecurities.
I just wanted to say your channel really helped me man, i'm glad i subbed you essentially decluttered bodybuilding in my head and made it seem doable if that makes sense. I also started logging my workouts in a notebook thanks to you and i'm finally noticing consistent gains
Love the sprinting idea. Maybe list it as alternate methods for leg growth. Or "do sprints and running give leg growth?" . Then instruct us how to get the most out of them.
Im lucky i discovered your channel right at the beginning of my lifting. Been doing fullbody 3 times a week now for little over a month and your info definitely helps with my journey
Gshred definitely blackpiling at this point, if you're skinny as a teenager that's it your fate is sealed you just can't get jacked. Also Max Euceda advises bulking and cutting and you can see that it pissed him off his verdict was definitely biased. The thought of skinny people bulking up terrifies him so he had to call him not natty to dissuade people from bulking.
For the muscle fiber question, I find it more valuable to consider other factors to decide rep ranges. For lateral raises sets of less than 10 can be iffy on my shoulders. For back movements, sets of 20+ tend to use more bicep than back. I literally can't remember the last time I took muscle fiber distribution into account when deciding rep ranges. Edit: For the small forearms and calves question, I'm on board with the 3 days per week answer. Calves I go slow and controlled and emphasize pausing in the stretched position. Each session I alternate between a straight leg and bent knee variation (only 1 movement each day). The stretch and frequency are the big drivers in my experience. Forearms I do 1-2 movements 3 days per week (or how ever many days I train). I have 3 categories of movement for them: 1) wrist/finger curls (flexion only) 2) hammer/reverse curls (radiobrachiais and brachialis) and 3) barbel wrist roller (works flexion and extension). I don't choose 2 from the same category on the same day.
You been my fav fitness RUclips as of recent. Started out 8 months ago and obsessed with jpg and optimal workouts but your content is so consistent and always so helpful. You got a fantastic personality as well ❤
So happy to see you at 100k bro swear you were under 20k in 2021, you deserve it man you’ve been consistently pumping out sweet content for years now keeping this industry alive
For me, having abs before my pull day was limiting my pull ups, a movement I'm very focused on. I used to do a little bit of abs at the end of each workout. But at a certain point there were too many movements I needed to get in on each day to be able to fit in any quality ab work. So now my split is: Pull, Abs and Glutes, Push, Legs. Which is working out great for me
No mention of any Super Smash Bros for video games?? Do you even smash, bro?? 😜 congrats as always, my friend! 💪 videos keep getting better and better!
Hey coach. I definitely subscribed primarily for the awful puns. They greatly increase training efficacy and anecdotally attenuate local hypertrophic adaptations.
Congrats Geoff! Well deserved. In regards to the second question, I agree with you and I think the other scenario in which pre-exhaustion can be valuable (in my anecdotal experience) is if you struggle to connect with or make a certain muscle the limiting factor in a compound exercise. I know you mentioned this in your recent back training video tangentially. What has been your experience with this?
I'll probably incorporate more of it when bulking again. When cutting it's hard to do a lot of activation work when already doing a lot of volume. For the lats especially the few exercises that don't work the biceps/triceps I'd rather just use as main movements.
Great one Geoff. Although pretty sad that you feel like you have to defend playing video games. Not your fault that you feel this, but it's quite sad that many look down on the medium and only see the problems, when video games have so much to offer.
With your GOG-list and your refusal to do shorts you draw me even deeper into your net. As a note, there are factors benefical to heart health which are improved only with high or low intensity cardio. Ideally, one would do both (with a higher volume on low intensity). And for concurrent resistance and endurance trainees, I can recommend Alex Viadas stuff, including his book ("The Hybrid Athlete"). TLDR would be to don't overdo resistance exercise volume and focus on the big leavers, be especially cautious to keep your endurance training mostly in zone 2 (of 5) and constantly keep listening to your body.
I knew you were a nerd! Takes one to know one. Played a few of the games you named. I was also stuck in the quagmire of MMOs and I had to stay completely off them for years in order to "fix" myself. Now I play only on occation and no damn mmos... Thanks for sharing haha
Some more running based content focused on lifters who run would be great for those who want to improve in both, or like me, need to run and be strong for work (military). Balance, recovery, training structure etc
I been here since you had maybe 15k glad to see you blowing up…also would love to see what a GVS cookie cutter program looks like I’m sure there is enough demand for that
So I'm currently at the point about lower versus upper abs and doing specific movements for them. If you look at it biomechanically, the individual abs could be seen as individual muscles because they insert into the tendinous separation. So it could be implied through the EMG data and old school techniques and results that each ab is its own muscle belly with its own potential for hypertrophy
Haha speaking about some exercises aren’t good for certain rep ranges. I once saw a guy max out on single limb barbell RDLs😂. Here’s the workout I saw him do: max out low bar box squats for multiple sets, max out barbell lunges for multiple sets, then max out the single limb RDLs for multiple sets. Def one of the funnier things I’ve seen in a gym.
11:05 I've always been much better at sprints than long distance running, but no way I've got fast twitch muscles. My combo of height (6'11) and weight always made it hard to run long distances and I'm not explosive at all, but I think my sprinting technique is so much better than most people so I can basically run at the top of my physical ability, also, I guess those long strides kinda help lol
9:06 evolving reps huh, got that from NH. his recommendation for deadlift (edit: and overhead press) is 2 to 5, and I've seen that works best for me too. 4 to 8 is too much when it comes to deadlift
8 or more is hard to program and get enough tonnage in the surrounding workout for me. Nice to see that others are finding that advice useful too. Deadlifts used to destroy entire workouts for me because I loaded them very heavy and did sets of 8 to 10 all the time. Reducing the reps to five made it very manageable
My question didn't make it into the video but GVS was nice enough to answer directly in the comments so I'll post here. My question (paraphrasing) was how many straight sets is 1 myo-rep set equivalent to? Answer: "Really tough to give an exact ratio. I think in my book I counted each mini set as a half a set, rounded down. So it would count for 3 sets. But that's just an approximation, could be less or more, no way to really tell for sure."
It's very interesting to hear you talk about suffering with video game addiction because I did as well, and we are both 2 of the most jacked Naturals in the world. Something there?😅
I am familiar with the dilemma. My heart jumps with joy when I'm speed inline skating, and I don't mean runners high, but my heart also cries when I stand in front of the mirror and see my muscles melt away despite bodybuilding. Especially in summer season.
For tendonitis I had really bad high hamstring tendonitis and when I took a couple months off squatting and came back to it, it didn’t get any better. It was once I focused to fixing the root problems in my form and weaknesses as well as rehabbing the tendons that it got better.
2:58 I don't see myself ever reaching this point. I don't mean that in a negative way either, I just feel that my goal will always be 5 steps in front of where I am; pushing me forward forever.
I choose to do calves before my main leg stuff. Loosens up my ankles and gets me fired up. At this point in my journey it's not affecting how things are growing.
I would say as well if your triceps take over when pressing pre-exhausting your chest can help as it will mean your chest gets fatigued quicker than normal.
Yea on cutting before bulking, I've found that the lower I start a bulk the better it's been for me once I switch modes. My worst bulk started when I was already like 13-15% and the superior ones were probably 12% or lower to start. This last one I finished probably started at 10-11% and I could've and probably should've went a bit lower but the diet was taking too long because life events LOL, but I should've just did the 2 extra weeks to get 2-3 more pounds off. Also great point easing into bulks, you wanna milk every pound gained to be certain vs. just tryna speed run.
Myo reps, drop sets and cluster sets are pretty effective but I think straight sets always win in pure stimulus, high intensity techniques are a good way to get lots of work done in a short time but it is a sacrifice in stimulus for time. I find high intensity techniques are more or less effective based on your disposition, they work for me because it gets hard to train to failure on set after set of a boring movement like leg extensions so I focus better with the “this is my one set” mentality, for someone else that might not work, going all the way to hell one time might not be better than going close a few more times and having a few opportunities to get it right.
Ha, minus the scars! But yea...that's probably my favorite in terms of storyline. Without exaggerating at all it definitely shaped who I am as a person at least a bit, it really makes you think. BG is way better gameplay so I play it more but PST has a special place in my heart.
High intensity intervals without a solid base of condition acquired by liss? For health??? Ouch.. Besides that i love your content and learn a lot. Thanks
is this the first time I've seen mind pump mentioned in this channel? I think? they have some interesting perspectives, but I don't see others discussing/debating their viewpoints
Imagine gassing out on lateral raises though 😂 Grats on 105k Geoff. Channels blowing up! Oh and to add on to the question the dude asked about cutting and how low you go before bulking. Be real careful with duration of cut and dietary fat intake. I cut to the point my dick stopped working for 5 months :) took two months into a bulk to get any 'sensation' back.
That could just entirely be your cardio / conditioning. If you're a really good sprinter (or explosive wrestler, etc etc), it's a lot more clear. It shows up pretty clearly in sports that have bouts of maximal effort.
Yea but unfortunately coaching and soloing normal RUclips content/writing books takes up all my time, I'm happy just to show up on other podcasts occasionally :)
important verse about the saints Revelation 12:17 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

He definitely has really good genetics
Oh, not even the rarest level of genetics on him eh? Strange thing to say
Exquisite taste in gaming.
More sprintining videos!
You could tie it to video about lifters needing more cardio/ how could sprints benefit your lifting journey
At first, I thought this was 105 kg landmark 🤣🤣
ha, didn't quite get there last bulk, only 102kg or so.
@@GVSWell I guess bulking is easier for us bigger guys (6'3). But lean bulk was always a challenge for me 🤓
Greg shiting on max euceda felt really odd but people eat that shit up because Greg has some credentials.
Would love a video on using running as a side goal to bodybuilding!
My man gave a dragon age shoutout. Indeed a sick game
G-shred did great thing to my lifting skills... that where I found out about you
Some more running based content focused on lifters who run would be great for those who want to improve in both, or like me, need to run and be strong for work (military).

So I'm currently at the point about lower versus upper abs and doing specific movements for them.

Oh and to add on to the question the dude asked about cutting and how low you go before bulking. Be real careful with duration of cut and dietary fat intake. I cut to the point my dick stopped working for 5 months :) took two months into a bulk to get any 'sensation' back.
Im definitely more fast twitch dominant. Not because im super strong but because I SUCK at endurance based shit lmao
That could just entirely be your cardio / conditioning. If you're a really good sprinter (or explosive wrestler, etc etc), it's a lot more clear. It shows up pretty clearly in sports that have bouts of maximal effort.
This morning I drank a Pocari Sweat and my biceps grew a full inch. Is this normal?
yep
I enjoy the long form content. Ever thought of starting a fitness podcast?
Yea but unfortunately coaching and soloing normal RUclips content/writing books takes up all my time, I'm happy just to show up on other podcasts occasionally :)
important verse about the saints
Revelation 12:17
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I appreciate answering my dumb squat question, but I was expecting something like 20 reps at 1RM
can you recruit or focus more on fast twitch muscles by doing explosive reps? for example on concentric part of bench press
Well idk how this hapened but learned that my arms are underdevelped compared to rest of my physic
opinion on full body workouts doing in consecutive days?
Which rehab video was he talking about? I couldn’t make out the creator
It's in the description, Alec Enkiri.
