The next book is finally OUT!!!
Really proud of how it turned out. It has completely new information, as I've learned quite a bit about training since the first one. It's focused on improving your hypertrophy-training process and breaking plateaus. It includes an almost SEVEN HOUR audiobook, which I decided to record myself rather than outsourcing.
Feedback has been excellent so far. I don't do sponsored videos or have ads on the channel, so I really appreciate the support. I really is YOU who keeps the channel going!
Can grab a copy below if it sounds like something you'd be interested in!

You missed an opportunity to find a domain for "verifit", because it sounds like "very fit" as well as partially retaining your name
We need a Netflix original limited series on that story of how you ended up in China, could inspire hangover part 4 too
NH, Sean Nalewanyj, Alex and now Geoff uploading in the span of 20 minutes, what's going on 😂 We feasting feasting. Also congrats on 100k!
*LOOKS LIKE MEATS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS*
Basement uploaded as well
They just finished their natty meeting 20 mins ago 😎
Reason is there's a more preferable timing for algorithm to pick your stuff up.
Which is why many of UA-camrs kinda put their stuff out around the same time of the day
@@luisdelgado7764 Basement doesn't belong. Always bashing strength training for size, while being smaller than all of the strength focused guys.
It's alway nice to see good people getting the recognition they deserve.
Congrats again on the 100k milestone brother! What a year of growth it’s been for you on YT & in the gym. So much value in this long video with lots of great questions asked. 💪
Congrats on the milestone, my man, 100% deserved, definitely long time coming
Thanks for answering my question. Appreciate it. Looking forward to the next Q&A.
Love to see protein man on one of your Q&A’s! Love to see the homies win!!!
Great video as always Geoffrey! got your first book but need to get a hold of the other two I recently got some rings about a month ago and I’ve been experimenting with them there’s so many things that you can do with them added them to the calisthenics arsenal with my way training. You are a book full of knowledge and I am taking notes all the time. Your journey and lifting has been really awesome to see all your progress. I am progressing as well hitting that five year mark almost💪🏽
Congrats on 100k bro, it was a long road but it had a well deserved reward. Wishing you the best. You are one of the best fitness channels out there.
Excellent video and quite helpful. You’re looking absolutely jacked! 💪
Congratulations on hitting 100K, Geoff.
It's great to have a channel like yours get into the mainstream. I'd say you're probably in the top 5 of actually useful bodybuilding channels. And considering that, you deserve way more.
Congrats on hitting 100K my dude! Your content rocks keep up the fantastic work!
That nugget of info on the overhead triceps extensions is pretty sweet. I'm gonna have to use that tip to push through the sticking point on my last rep and sneak in a little more work 💪
Great channel, great content. Thanks Geoff
Congrats mate 🙌 enjoying your videos and lately you're so much more real and refreshingly honest than those other big fitness youtubers who keep saying the same gimmicky unfunny lines and wasting time selling their tatty cheap sups and workout gear. Well played.
congrats on 100k, you are my number 1 source for info. you deserve much more^
Thanks! 😃
Congrats Geoff. I know you will reach 100k one day. Keep it up!
lol whut
incredibly useful video even though I've watched most your stuff. This is why you're my favorite fitness channel :)
really enjoying this channel, love the cut & dry style of information
100k! I remember when this channel was dropping gems with a few thousand subs. So happy for you Geoff!
gz on 100k! looking huge dude
Great video mr schofield
Congrats on the 100k!
Thanks for helping us out, man! I'm thoroughly enjoying you whispering sweet nothings into my ear holes to Resurrect my Gains.
Just got around to listening! A lot of great questions here, but I too would love to see you cover more non-fitness related topics if possible. Congrats again, Geoff 💪🤓
Thanks dude! Yea I might slowly branch out, we'll see!
Love these Q&As - note on ring training, that shits no joke! Recently implemented some into my training and it's humbling to say the least, lots of gains to be had there.
The single most informative and honest fitness channel out there!
So, on the road to 1000000 - good luck!
thanks for taking my time in the gym to next level, grateful for your work
Thanks for putting those little exercise clips every so often, my dumbass can't stay focused for long when someone is talking alot but the clips help me stay interested. Very nice.
Well deserved 100k
On the topic of mind-muscle connection: as a one-year-in home gym guy, lacking any sort of machine or access to neutral grips, I've finally found consistent mind muscle connection for the lats and rear delts via L-sit/hollow-body, narrow & neutral pull-ups and bent-over, free weight face pulls. For the former I grab a ring with the side facing me, interlocking my fingers with thumb and pinkies grabbing the sides (essentially an \m/ from the side) so that the other fingers can fit inside, and it's the only variation I've tried that I can always feel the lats on, even at lower reps - maybe because it seems to be easier to pull diagonally. For the latter I was inspired by NH's video on threading ropes through plates for home gyms, and with the freedom of movement the rope allows me I get no shoulder discomfort and the most enjoyable movement I've found for rear delts.
I did recently buy some Swissies from Kensui to try real narrow grips, though, so very soon I'll see if this pull-up is just a substitute for standard neutral grip or has its own value.
Pretty creative idea with the ring pull-up. If I'm not mistaken I'm guessing u use one ring & interlock ur fingers. Reminds me of a pullover. And it also seems like u're mimicking a v-bar handle with the narrow grip which ppl usually feel lats better on. There's this pull-up that's pretty similar called the Gironda pull-up idk if u'd wanna check out right here. ua-cam.com/users/shortsA69z09Cu2oE
Alex Leonidas also made a video about it.
And those free weight face-pulls have definitely been a game changer for my rear delts, dropped bands. I do them with dumbbells, they're called W raises I believe. I'd suggest getting some chest support/do it on a bench since the low back might fatigue once u get heavier. Only problem is u can't go all the way down or u'll hit the ground, so no weighted stretch. Might have to elevate.
Geoffrey, your development over the past year or so is tremendous, especially for someone who was already pretty built. As someone who emphasizes the importance of gaining strength in order stimulate hypertrophy, I'm curious about how much your lifts increased over this period. It could even be the topic of a whole vid.
I'd love to see a series on how to develop the various non-muscle tissues in the body (such as tendons, ligaments). What activities or training modalities would benefit those dabbling in a larger array of physical activities? Benefits could be seen for injury prevention, pain reduction, etc.
Another broad topic would be identifying weaknesses in how your body produces energy (more from a performance standpoint). How do you combine aerobic training with anaerobic training for a more rounded physical ability? Glycolysis, lactic versus alactic, etc.
Those tissues adapt as well as muscles, just slower. This is even worse when you're enhanced and then poof, a bicep tear
Congratulations bro! I'm convinced your arms get bigger each video 😂
Sean Nalewanyj literally supporting the channel
Congratz on 100k, good to see naturals getting some love and growing bigger, your videos are always good, so you deserve it for sure. Bulking questions are interesting though, i'm on the last months of my bulk and progress can be pretty hard to track and sometimes it feels like i'm not progressing enough or adding enough mass as a intermediate. Have to experiment a lot now with all variables. I only really measure once a year so its harder to always know if i'm progressing if i just use mirror and strength.
“Thank you Sean for “supporting” the channel.” 😂😂😂
All the grinding paid off - Congrats bro
This is the night that keeps on giving 😆
Thanks for your vast sharing of knowledge and experience! I had someone tell me (before they even said hello) over the holidays … “wow, you’ve been training!”….it was the best feeling ever. I’ve dropped 75 ish pounds since 2019 and put on significant muscle since then thanks to you and other excellent natty channels. I feel so much better and so much stronger! ❤💪🏋️.
Congrats on the progress! Keep it up!
Been a while since the last QNA 😍
Re: #29 - 1) get your quads stronger outside of the squat - specifically leg extensions and split squats for me worked best. 2) Cue leg drive not hip drive and 3) start by kicking knees back forward if they go back until you’re out of the habit. 4) Pause or pin squats may help as well. This is something I have actually ‘fixed’ over time and it’s definitely doable but it’ll take time and your strength may not be increasing during this period much but in the long term more quads will help if strength is your goal.
I have always been knees kick back out of the bottom and finish driving glutes forward (it’s not truly a GM). I had to consciously work at this and relearn the pattern over time. I squat low bar also so I’m not talking high bar vs low bar.
Wife: Babe pick a movie😇
Me seeing Geoff's newest upload: 😏
Get my popcorn ready for this fine peace of meat content, Thank you, you're one of the biggest reasons why i lift, and i spread your knowledge in my circles and see them improving as well.
congrats on 100k! Enjoyed seeing you grow!
His body or his channel? 😆

The point about the mind muscle connection increasing as your muscles get bigger is quite key. Not only as the muscle itself gets bigger, but the surrounding muscles. You'll start to feel them rub together, contract against each other, and work as a team.
Key, sure. Its used to put emphasis on a target muscle tho, not to get all active muscles working together. That's a contradiction sir
@Rocky Evans muscles are never working in complete isolation. If you are trying to really feel your lats in a pull up, your traps, rhomboids and a bunch of other muscles are going to be involved. Does that mean you can't build a strong mind muscle connection with your lats in a pull up? Absolutely not.
Even if you're doing a tricep pushdown, your tricep is flexing against your bicep. During the eccentric motion the bicep and brachialis are helping guide things. Does that mean you focus those muscles, no. Will having developed those muscles help you feel your triceps working better and thus help a better mind muscle connection with your triceps, absolutely
@@danielgilbert8338 I didn't say anything about isolation. We're talking about mm connection, where you try and activate and keep tension on the target muscle youre trying to grow with that movement. In your first comment you mentioned feeling all the muscles involved moving, that's not mm connection, it's the opposite. You described external cueing rather than internal, that's for strength work not hypertrophy. Your second comment just repeated what I said. Not sure why you're implying I said you can't use mm in a compound lift, I think you need to re read this exchange, you're either day drinking or misread this lol
@Rocky Evans if you're trying to build your lats, and you have bigger rhomboids, you will be able to feel the LATS rub against the rhomboids which will work as a cue for the lats and thus help establish a BETTER MIND MUSCLE CONNECTION.
That is my point
Bigger muscles in a muscle group help establish a mind muscle connection for each muscle in said group
Geoff, I for one would actually very much like to hear more about your experience in China. I have an opportunity to move there in the near future and from my research it seems like a pretty cool place to live as a whole. But I feel like the personal experiences of someone like you would actually weigh a lot more than all the random stuff I've found in my research.
As a CERTIFIED Ring Expert, buy Geoffs book.
Your Q&A's are very informative good sir.
1st Congratz man
21:00 lmfao congrats on hundo thousand!
I hit the wall after I got my noob gains and I had to actually start experimenting diligently and isolating variables like volume, exercise selection, failure/prox, protein consumption.
I've been able to discern how each variable affects the training and progression. Happy to say that everything is progressing again and I feel great!
Hey! Congrats on 100k! Been here for a while. I got a question for a future topic potentially, why do some people put up higher numbers and all that on the barbells and machines, yet others have a better time in wrestling and controlling other humans. An issue I’ve had especially with my buddies at home. They’re hitting good numbers yet my grip is tighter and I can secure takedowns and pins whereas they can’t. I know you’re not really a martial artist but I’d like to hear your thoughts.
Strength doesn't mean good technique. Either you are using better technique, have quicker reactions and/or you have better strength in situations that are different from typical gym lifts
i still remember when high boi exploded, the man did his 1k sub special part2 when he already had like a million subs, it was something else man
I was thinking of changing up workout routine after Christmas, now Im on day 6 of being sick and now I have conjuctivitus.
This winter has been brutal lol.
Q1 is by far the best one😅💪
Congratulations 🥳
Posing in Front of a mirror ist a great way to get better mind muscle Connection. FLEX and move and watch what's Happening. Change Angles .... And so in.
bro. ive been getting better sleep lately (still not optimal) and its crazy how mich bigger and stronger i am already, even after just a couple weeks. sleep was the key for me.
Yeah okay bro, I'm sure it's "crazy" how much bigger you are in two freakin weeks lol.
Hey there, I really appreciate the content! I have a question about grinding out reps near failure. With pushing exercises (presses, squats) I feel like I can still really push through when I'm about to fail. But with pulling exercises (rows, hamstring curls) I tend to feel like I get stuck halfway through a rep and need to use extra momentum to finish it. Is this a normal feature of these exercises or is this some sort of imbalance? Should I drop the weight a bit so I don't have to be as explosive?
im sure you got the QL recovery down but bent press could help, as could really light jefferson curls going toawrds each foot. that plus lots of back extensions helped me.
Just bought the book. Thanks for all the great videos and free info. Figured it was time to actually pay for something lol, even though it's still only $30.
Appreciate the support, I'll do my best to raise the prices at some point :)
Thank you for answering! And I actually meant aesthetic lol
Congrats on 100k and thanks for answering my question!
Thanks, and happy to help!
I splashed out on dry needling around some of my long-term imbalances, worth it I reckon
Geoffrey "Da Truth" Schofield
Congrats! Hopefully someone has some experience with this. Growing up I was always naturally lean and skinny I've been bulking for a long time and have gotten fluffy (and intended to keep pushing through as I know I need more muscle) so remaining in a bulk a long time make getting back to that leaness prior harder?
Some people need much more than one bulk/cut cycle to build enough muscle. Not saying you can’t go far on one bulk, but for me personally (growing up a skinny kid as well) it took around 5+ years until I had made significant gains to look decent when lean. YMMV, but I wouldn’t go above 20-22% bf
@@nixen74 Thanks for the reply man. I intend on doing multiple bulks but my current bulk has been around 1.5-2y. I guess i've been avoiding cutting since mentally it will make me feel like i'm reverting. But I will trust the process since I intend to lift for the rest of my life so a little cut which would get rid of the this fluff (looking at pics online I think im 25% skinny fat ish) won't affect much long term. Much appreciated man
Potentially, the body has a body fat "set point" that can raise or lower over time, depending on how long you spend at a certain body fat, but don't let that put you off bulking cos once you cut and stay lean a while then it's likely that you'll lower the set point.
@Bodybuilding Exercise Advice Strength Training oh thanks man. I didnt think about it that way. 🙏🏽
I have a left shoulder injury and I dont know when or if it will heal. Currently I can only work Biceps, traps, mid delts, and neck.
How do you feel about that for an aesthetic?
Congrats on the 100k ma dood, is tracking calories a form of body dysmorphia, asking for a friend? 😅
Thanks and I wouldn't say so, no
Sponsored by Dove milk, but where can I buy it hahahaha 🙂 Keep up the great videos
I put incline DB curls in my top 20. Sorry NH and Athlean X
Hey, Geoff. Why don't you like Pull-ups?
50:22 Congratulations on 100K and your successes. 🏆
Damn, I'm kind of early. This feels like seeing your teacher on the bus when you are both going to the same class
For the 100k algo
12:20 Dude, your arms look so freakin' YUGE here.
I went from 62 kg to 94kg in two years and am not fat nor even that muscle right now if you're skinny you can put on alot of muscle in your first year
Do you think the areas of your body where you may have a genetic advantage take longer to recover? Such as having a naturally large pecs.
What is your take on volume in sets and reps per workout session?
Yeah, self identifying problems and consistency is so important and not assuming it's the thing that other people say "is killing your gains"
I had someone try to tell that it was nutrition that was getting in the way of them progressing their squat beyond like 90kg (so not an impressive number for a guy fairly big and tall.)
I'm thinking, well I've seen you come in a couple of times a week for 30 minutes to work your mirror muscles. I'm pretty sure it's not nutrition.
How do you manage your library of videos of yourself workout out? Do you use some app to catalogue them, or just simply upload them from your phone to the cloud and then sift through them later?
I've started editing on my computer so I'm creating a library by movement pattern and slowly building it up. Before that, just had folders on my phone.
@@GVS you must have some hefty hard drives! What software do you use for managing your library?
This week deloading it was super weird, I think I benefit from less intensity than I thought
I got more sore from 3s on a weight I’ve done for 5-7 on with slightly worse form which was super fucking weird to me. This was on front squats btw
my whole life i thought i was a workhorse but i think im a racehorse. Been feeling a lot better only doing 4-6 exercises a workout
13:46 lmaooo paper muscles yum
I love how your Q & A's are actual legitimate bodybuilding/hypertrophy questions, but Mike Israetel's questions are about "gum" swallowing and other ridiculousness 😂😂😂
Why's gum in quotations? Code word for ejaculate? Mike makes jokes, that'll attract silly questions. Man's put out way more applicable content than Geoff tho
@@rockyevans1584 yes, that was a reference to Dr. Mike's hilariousness shenanigans, which I absolutely love and is actually one of the reasons I listen to every one of his videos. My comment wasn't intended to slander him, or say Geoffrey is better, it was simply humorous observation. That's all.
@@richardcaraballo1185 ah it certainly read to me as dismissive towards our good doc, my bad. We can agree to disagree on your description of the observation haha. Cheers
Ok so by now I assume Geoffrey has this blue shirt a bunch of times... I do the same with the tanktop and t shirt that fits me well:P
Okay ive heard you have arm size of 17 inches and this should be around 43 cm right ? Okay my arm is exactly 44 cm measured flexed at the point of bicep's peak, but when i see your videos your arm looks beefier. Is a possible reason be where my muscles are exactly attached genetically ? I mean you know how some ppl biceps and triceps start super close to the elbow and some ppl have obvious distance especially when they flex. Also i am most powerful on triceps movements for the lateral head but my arm looks bigger from the side as if im long head beast ,but when i look at my arms frontally they are not that wide which is strange since im doing huge stuff for the lateral head of the triceps and also for brachialis but my arms refuse to grow in width :( , meanwhile i have no problems developing biceps short head and triceps long head and they get bigger , but somehow my arms feels like they lack width.
Mine are closer to 18, 45-46cm. Leanness can also play a role.
When will you show us and flex your Lamborghini?
In time...in time.

Consensual strength 💀
47:31 I've always been skinny fat or chubby. last year I cut to 143lbs and it was HELL absolute misery. I was tired, always hungry, couldn't sleep, and thinking about food nonstop. I'm currently 146lbs and I look way better and it's a breeze to be here. My training is still progressing, I'm not hungry or moody.
I think there's a lot of factors at play which can change where the wall is. And maybe it can move farther than you think.
This time around I'm much less focused on granular fat loss and am more focused on training.
Also let this be a lesson on yoyo dieting because it's been a year and I'm basically back to the same spot. The difference this time is I have no aches or pains, I feel amazing, and I'm progressing all lifts.
hell yeah
24:21 Gahhhhh damn dude save some arm gains for the rest of us
its funny because i look not like you at all (i'm short and stocky), i have different fibers (somewhat high maxes but very low rep capacity for suboptimal loads) but i have the exact same annoying leverages and weaknesses as you (tend to good morning squats, chest dominated by tris and delts).
Its about 30% muscle, 40% fat and 30% water when im bulking roughly.
But for my first bulk it was 70 % muscle lol
A question for you Geoff not regarding fitness but rather Skyrim; Stormcloaks or Imperials?🤔
I went with Stormcloaks but I'm not 100% sold on their messaging.
@@GVS Honestly the Imperial's aren't that much better either. There's quite a few but very long, retrospective Skyrim videos that actually discuss each faction. I personally don't take a side here and just enjoy both. Theybreally did Ulfric's character and voice dialogue so well though.
Currently I was playing Morrowind today (my favourite TES game). Every time I'm reminded just how r@cist the dark elves (dunmer) are. I'm a nord and oh boy do they hate on me. They only like other dunmer lmao. Rip Argonians and Khajiit though. Straight up ensl@ve them. Morrowind does not hide it either
I bought your book today GVS
Appreciate the support, enjoy it! :)
