Chopped up? I'm editing a podcast video right now and none of our podcasts are chopped. They are the easiest to edit for me because I don't remove anything. Too bad you feel this way
@@Editor_Steve Certainly appeared that way, I can tell when something has been removed. Frames don't jump for no reason. And what you did to Sean was just dirty. Or at least tried to do, everyone saw through it. People aren't stupid.
@@Editor_Steve Steve you’re honestly a low IQ idiot who is piggy backing off your brother’s success. Just stop talking and stick to editing. You are the human embodiment of a hanger.
33:50 you'd be surprised, he can do almost full splits and pretty crazy back bends. Kyriakos is more mobile than people half his weight. He also regularly walks up mountains and judging by his ability to do 30 or even 50 reps with heavy ass weight, I'd say his heart is pretty strong. He's not the fastest by any means but if the goal is to survive melee combat, do not count him out
Congrats on 50k brother! Very well deserved! And you’re probably right about me. 😂 My fighting days are in the past, so I’d be happy acting as the commentator of the big fitness UA-cam cage match. Haha!
@@gankt Geoffrey is a friend, & it was a joke about me commenting a lot (true story), & poking fun at how long it takes me to make my videos (takes an average of 100-200 hours to make each one). Who ever said nobody watches my channel? 🤷♂️ With only 20 videos, I’m proud to have almost 4k subscribers & thousands of views per video, because I make honest & high quality content that actually helps people. Those numbers would be much bigger if I made content faster, which is why I’m focused on improving that now. 👍
@@gankt FitLabb’s video to sub ratio is incredibly impressive, and this is only the beginning. I assure you that Geoff was not trying to insult Aaron…Geoff’s a great dude, and so is Aaron. How about we just try to spread some positivity 🤷♂️
"Find something you enjoy doing and makes a positive contribution to the world" is more profound than you might realize. Congrats on the 50k. Don't forget all your old friends now you are rich and famous!
Congratulations on 50k. There are a lot of similarities between China and India as well. Family bonding is the biggest one. It helps kids and grandkids to get proper values and guidance from elders.
Nice having less questions and you being able to go into more detail. Really interesting hearing you talk about China. I've only live in US/Australia which are pretty similar. Oh and Grizzly for sure
I feel like your meaning of life answer was more poignant than you might have realized. definitely something people should hear and take to heart since everyone is so different. appreciate all that you do and congrats again!
I like Geoff but that answer wasnt anything to write home about. Regardless, I have to say even tho I ask many people about that things rarely they even thought about it and why should they. They are happy so those thoughts rarely creep up. I like your enthusiasm tho
To piggy back off your response for the genetic limit question, i believe its 10-15 years of good, smart training with a dialed in diet as well. I think people drastically underestimate human potential. There is always something to improve on
The last segment about us and China was great and I would love if you would talk more about that in future videos. I like to know what’s really going on in other countries and the news stations are straight propaganda and don’t reflect that.
27:30 this might be the funniest bit on all of UA-cam fitness and it just kept rolling 👏🏻 Bugenhagen vs Grizzly. Grizzly gets Rick de la stick on the ropes but the Bugez pulls it out and take the W
Congrats man on 50k! I’ve just sat and listened to the whole of this video and didn’t even notice how long it was! Very entertaining video! The Chinese culture stuff was interesting, I have a friend who moved to China (from the UK) and the first thing he noticed was people would blatantly stare at him and not even care if they were caught. It took him a bit of getting used to.
Bro I can't speak for everyone here but I don't mind watching one ad at the start of your videos. I think you should put a few ads on your videos because it gives people who don't want to spend money a way of supporting you.
Exactly what I thougth. I get his point and for some people it may seem smart and more down to earth but Geoff has the right to charge more for that content he creates.
You don’t think Rich Piana would descend from the heavens and laser beam everyone to death with his natty vegan gaze???? Assuming this is after his latest 8 Hour Arm Workout Congrats on 50k btw man
12:00 the bit about progressive overload is really good. a lot of times people will assume it means "add weight next session" (a la starting strength) but it really means improving 1 variable from workout to workout. if you can add 1 or more reps to each set next workout... that's actually really good, but even just adding 1 rep to any of the sets is still progress. that's progressing in reps. you could add another set in the same rep range. what you described would be lowering the rpe/increasing the rir, which is where on paper you do the same exact workout as last time, but each set has more reps in reserve
31:00, Brian Alsruhe grew up grappling/BJJ, is literally spec-ops and isn't legally allowed to talk about the missions he was on, had a worm infection in his BRAIN that caused all sorts of physical problems (throwing up 30+ times a day), and he still benched over 500lbs, squats over 600lbs, and pulls over 700lbs. and now he makes log cabins by hand, by himself for fun. i'd like to say that i could simply outrun him but not even that is possible. he could probably run faster and longer than me while yoke carrying 300lbs
Thanks for answering my question! I agree, Im not a big fan of generalizing, that was more or less to gauge what you would program for someone who might be a beginner the majority of the time, I just phrased the question a little weirdly. Expect to see me more often in your comment section! I found your channel about a month ago and like watching your videos!
congratulations Geoffrey for your 50k you bloddy deserve it and so much more, you're clearly one of the best fitness influencers out here, cut to throat, point to point no bullshittin , realistic goals and realistic advice! 🙏🏼🙏🏼💪🙌🏼🙌🏼
Kyriakos Grizzly's mobility: FULL Have you seen that 200 kg man doing a split? He does pull ups and does kickboxing. Also, he would scare even Dr Mike with his screams.
@@GVS the question now is what about his heart? I've never seen him run, just wide walk. But I think he has some conditioning (med ball throwing, rope pulling, high reps with heavy weights)
Congrats Geoff. Keep it real, avoid the drama. Keep the integrity. Money or viewers are not worth it. If money is that important, they are better ways to get it.
The meaning of life is to be the greatest that you can for you and everything. Just like a flower strives to be beautiful, even though it gets less sun. All of creation strives to be the best at each individual's essential purpose. Only people choose to abandon this. And that is the greatest loss.
Congrats big man, 50k subs, No lies, no spews for views, no ads in the countless videos you've done... yeah that's a milestone alright! Brilliant effort my friend 👍👍👍
Congrats on 50k! Amazing q & a session ❤️. I cannot get over Chinese people working so many hours per day. I am currently working around 10 hours a day, I love my job, but I feel it is too much. I cannot imagine how people make it in there...
Actually a lot of them slack off. I worked at a Chinese company and a lot of the staff only worked a few hours per day. Some work hard, but many are just *there* for a long time every day.
@@GVS oh, thanks for the clarification. It still seems like a long time even if a lot of them slack off... They could use that time in a better way. But they have adapted everything, I assume. And it is in the culture, so who am I to judge?
Yes, re: 14 - it’s best to think of progressive overload as the natural result of training, more than you need to force the body to adapt by adding x weight or x reps. Take it when it’s there but if you’re forcing it without auto regulation it may not be a) productive stress and b) doesn’t actually mean you’re stronger. It’s important to change to the above mindset once you’re more intermediate and especially if you started with starting strength LP style stuff.
The easiest way for me to visualize it is like taking daily body weight. There are peaks and valleys but the trend should be towards your goal, either up or down, over time. Sometimes it’ll stay the same, sometimes up, sometimes down, but over a longer period it has to be up (or down with bw ex).
I was absolutely shocked to see you only have 50k subscribers. Been subscribed for a while.. just expected that it would be way higher that this. It certainly should be
Congratulations on the 50k man. I hope that you continue your straight to the point honest opinions and videos, UA-cam really needs more like you in the fitness industry
Fitness YT battle royale would either be won by Brian Alsrhue who did “counter terrorism” before winning strongman comps, uses nunchucks, and got schistosomiasis probably from crawling through a swamp to merc some Taliban fighters or The Bioneer who would use all the superhero training to Batman them or whatever.
Yeah on the hung bao, you only benefit if you're unmarried. If you're married then you have to give money. Luckily for me, I'm single and I got around $700 this year and I don't have to give away a single penny 🤪
I really hope you’re rolling in that training book money, my friend 💰💸💵🤑 still one of the best training books that I’ve come across. Anyway, looking forward to this Q and A! Have a good one, brother 💪🤓
The answer about joint pain is actually very much my case I feel every little thing so sometimes I just stop and honestly it’s been like that plus it’s the reason my bench is trash now
Would love to hear more about the uygher genocide in china, or what it’s like not being able to own property, and knowing if you ever say anything seen as dissent by the ccp you will be “disappeared” immediately. Of course the US is far from perfect but it’s flaws hail in comparison to the genocidal communist-fascist dystopia of the ccp, the only government possibly worse is North Korea
Congrats on the 50k subs. If I'm honest, your channel is the only fitness channel that I always watch!!! You always bring the wisdom and the entertainment.
also age does limit your progression. because at some point you won´t grow so fast, hormons go down, joints and tenders got worn, your recovery will take much longer, and so on. so usually at a certain point - what you didn´t grow till then - you never will.
