Get Big With Geoffrey Verity Schofield!

[@BaldOmniMan]

Alex you’re making an effort to create community amongst all the big and strong naturals and I really appreciate that

[@AlexLeonidas]

The more legit naturals, the better! Bet a chat with you would be fun

[@GVS]

Hey Alex, deeply appreciate you having me on your channel, I've watched your videos since the beginning of my fitness journey so it means a lot. I really enjoyed our discussion and I hope people find it useful!!

[@FitLabb]

Well deserved brother! Proud of how far you’ve come in such a short time, & all due to a heavy dose of old fashioned natty hard work! 💪 Keep up the grind & looking forward to seeing you continue to grow & be a big positive voice to help repair our broken fitness industry.

[@tomlazoriksuccessfitness]

I, for one, am finding this useful 🤓

[@mattc4266]

Amazing video !

[@AlexLeonidas]

Hey Geoffrey, was an absolute blast having you on and have no doubt that many people will find value in our discussion!! Thank you for always keeping it real and of course your support means a lot on my end too.

[@joojotin]

You also have very good vids!

[@zarifakhtab5116]

Alex, back in 2015-2016 Alphadestiny days, you said something in a video about wanting to create a community of natural lifters for natural lifters. Ive stuck around for that and now you’re doing it man. Introducing the small, genuine, and passionate channels to the masses.

[@FitLabb]

@@tomlazoriksuccessfitness Thx brother! Such a great conversation with them so far & fun listening during a workout.

Haha!

[@tomlazoriksuccessfitness]

@@FitLabb absolutely, man!! Work hard/less play hard. Although a good gym session really isn’t “work” for folks like us 💪🤓

[@specialed.2461]

I appreciate Geoff's cantor about maximum lifts: there's no need for natural lifters to add lifting dysmorphia on top of body dysmorphia - let's give eazhother a break: if it's heavy for you, its heavy for you.Great collaboration

[@John-cena6483]

Yup, it's totally fine to focus on one area of lifting, whether that be heavy weights, or being swole

[@John-cena6483]

Dang, that smile when he talked about you being a platform for other content creators. I remember back a long time ago, I don't remember when, back before I even started lifting, you mentioned wanting to create a community of natural lifters, for natural lifters. Knowing that people who didn't know that goal think that you've accomplished that, I'm sure, feels amazing.

[@finalcrash244]

Geoff may say that he’s not educated, but he does sound like it. He’s able to articulate words pretty well and get to his point pretty quickly while adding in some humor. I enjoy his content as well so I’m glad you are continuing interviews to help the newer generation make fewer mistakes through their journey. I’ll check out your other videos, but I respect you for doing this. There is no incentive, but it helps people wade through bullshit advice from other people. So thanks

[@jacobhate]

He's smart but his training and nutritional advice is very sub par

Giannis Antetokounmpo whats sub par about it?

[@alaskatoburningmen4549]

A lot of guys can identify with him i think, he is very non "gym-bro-ish" and starting from the novice level and working himself up with very serious intent.The "thinking man's lifter" kind of, with a healthy dose of humour.

[@scorpioman1964]

Geoffrey is the most trustworthy person in all media..like his replies on Quora. His eyes are honest. Maybe one of the funniest fitness man too. Thanks for all the info AlphaDestiny

[@chrisbolton1060]

Alex, I’ve been watching your channel since I was about 14, so about the last 8 years on and off and it is amazing to see you become the person you are today. Keep it up, you inspire so many people.

[@Derwynn]

I pulled 500lbs on trapbar on 3 months on naturally enhanced. Now trying to build my bench. Hit a 405 squat and 225 bench. Just wanna say I appreciate your advice brother and all the work you done for me and naturals

[@AlexLeonidas]

Amazing man and thanks for sharing your gains feedback!!

[@Derwynn]

@thespiritbomb Yh I realised. My squat is my best lift. It’s genetics because I trained the bench and deadlift seriously too. I even stopped squatting and program deadlift and ohp only now.

[@RJ-is9ko]

Stats?

[@Derwynn]

@@RJ-is9ko 6’2 250lbs 22 years old 9 months training

[@lopezlion3164]

@@Derwynn Holy Shit. How did you hit a 405lbs squats? My stats are similar, 6'2 230lbs 25 years old. My current deadlift PR is 445lbs conventional (can definitely do more), I can bench 225 for 4. But my squat is only 315 for like 3, I go ass to grass. Any tips for squats?

[@pedrokoury1352]

Love from Brazil. Im here putting in the effort, logging my results...been working out for two months (broke my hand, otherwise I would be working out for longer) and already seeing results. And it feels great. Don't wanna stop ever! Loving the channel and the sense of community.

[@SimonNissen94]

Urg thats harsh Mate, a broken hand is harsh, had probally the same injury you had, was squatting and went to deep with too much weight and fell backwards and my left hand got twisted, at first it didn't feel that bad cus i hit my head aswell so was more worried about that, but the next day my hand was swollen af and i couldn't move and my head was fine, went to the doctor and turned out i had crack in like 7 different bones in my hand, 2 months away from the gym thankfully i got my strength back pretty fast when i started training again

Two of my favorite voices in this industry, so much great information from the two of you. Watched the whole thing, loved it.

[@syedzaheerhussainshahkazmi1241]

One of the best collaborations (along with NH) in fitness

[@CaptainCowboy476]

This is awesome . The two best. I honestly was surprised that GVS is close to 20% never would have guessed. This look and strength are so much better than ab shred

[@ugbuga99]

Geoffrey is definitely a great educator. He's so entertaining and gives great advice. Definitely made some gains from his advice.

[@nicolasklug2311]

Huge thumbs up even before watching. Really enjoyed the last 2h+ podcast w/ NH. This one gonna be good too w/ Geof, an other real one in the industry !

[@nmnate]

So nice to hear the down to earth discussion with lifts versus size. Limb length and leverages can really do some funny things. With longer arms, deadlift comes super easy to me, but bench is a bit more difficult.

[@lucanambrose7682]

I'm just commenting for the algorithm because I think that both of these channels are hidden gems and should be the main youtube fitness channels for nattys

[@builtdifferent2029]

These discussions are so valuable I'd be interested in you hosting multiple people at once (albeit, difficult with time zones)

[@Anthony-jy3kn]

I’d never watched GVS before although I’d heard his name, but I couldn’t stop watching this due to the conversation and topics being so genuine and honest. Super rare to see such a candid and open discussion that every lifter could relate to on so many levels and seperate topics. Very enlightening, thorough and relatable. Awesome stuff

[@nmnate]

He's got a ton of great, no-nonsense content. Lots of parallel's with Alex's content. Highly recommended :)

[@sioux7420]

The two most underrated natural lifting channels on YT. Thx for this one guys. Much appreciated.

[@theekomodojoe]

I've no one else to tell this to so I'm saying it here. I visited my doctor for the first time in about 5 years today (I'm a man and yes I should go more regularly). He asked me if I was taking testosterone as a general question. He said he wouldn't be surprised if I was because the gyms are full of it. That my friends is a win for the nattys doing the grind year after year. ❤️

[@carlomiguelcaparas3670]

That's great, man! Keep at it. 💪

[@egil9859]

This was a great collab guys. Geoff really showed his knowledge here.

[@an0m1eofficial56]

Fantastic interview Alex and Geoff! Would love to see you interview Brendan Tietz. He has an amazing KZbin channel, with a crazy amount of in-depth information, especially for more intermediate and advanced lifters. I think it’d be a pretty cool talk between you two.

[@ResistanceQuest]

Brendan is pretty cool. Not sure if he's natural though. Not throwing shade, I literally don't know

[@chato12377]

That is old school Geoff background. Love you both. Love to see you both succeed and thank you Alex for shouting out Geoff. I have supported both of you by buying your programs/books just because you are honest and natural.

[@ryanrogers3877]

WOOWWWWW the not happy with results portion was spot on. Thanks for the motivation.

[@vercolit]

Thank you for giving a platform for smaller high quality natty channels. There is too much bullshit content that hurts the community. I'm very happy about the rise of great channels such as yours, sean nahlewanij and others. I have been trapped in the beginner phase and had a big plateau for half a year because I didn't know how to train, and I was still a beginner. I'm way stronger now and making faster progress, mostly thanks to channels that good information. So, thank you :)

[@Bryant_T]

You both give us hope as naturals, love to see it

[@MrAcidKnight]

Absolutely loving these collabs! It's exactly what we need.

[@Turglayfopa]

1:23:04 that with love handles. I noticed that when standing with chest up (yknow, good posture) the love handles are stretched out and appear smaller. NH in the ab video pointed out that eating less doesn't fix belly fat. ab training makes abs larger which = muscles bulge through fat (which would also stretch out the fat more) O glorious bodybuilding you never seize give gifts

[@rebmucuc6650]

Thanks Alex for this free content 💪. Having Geoffrey, and Natural Hypertrophy on your channel. More people should follow them, very underrated youtubers.

[@marcelloantoniodreier4795]

Awesome one! Already listening the second time to it...a lot of golden nuggets in there! Please keep those "discussions" with other youtuber who are on the same path as you....already great!!!

[@bestrusthacks6943]

I'm really liking all these podcasts with life time natty lifters. You guys are my inspiration! Also, great novice program! I maxed out (even though the program does not say to) because I won't be at the gym for a couple of weeks due to winter break, because of friends (peer pressure), and I wanted to end the year off with some achievement. In exactly 2 months of weightlifting, I hit 175 bench, 205 squat, and 275 deadlift.

Loved this! For me, I don’t even watch KZbin, I listen to it, whether that be in the car on my way to work or at home whilst doing bits around the house. I find I don’t have time or I struggle to sit and watch, so I’m not bothered at all about fancy edits or videos, just the value of info for me! Cheers guys

i absolutely don't need nor want highly produced editing nor high quality camera nor mics in a video, i want high quality knowledge, raw and real talk with genuine people.

2:02 yeaaa, I used to do competitive swimming which was something like 3 sessions a day each about 2 hours~ and after that a couple of overhead presses doesn't seem so bad xD

[@uptome4399]

Seams like a good dude and a good role model for the youngens. Not the strongest guy but got to respect him for he's content and vibe.Dont think it's from lack of trying or knowledge. KZbin needs more real ones like this.

[@Bigbiceps301]

For me I’m in the same situation I would say I’m bigger than the average male walking around. But people think I’m stronger than I look but my numbers are squats and bench are about average but I’m still growing because of progress overload

I'm glad someone said it finally... that allot of these Influencers try to keep their customer base dependent on them.

[@87392v]

It's really validating to hear big naturals shit on low bf% for anything but aesthetics. I've been bear mode since becoming intermediate, and I've never even gotten close to having body dysmorphia. Wtf? I feel big like the Hulk all day! My nb friend pointed out that many of the bodybuilding "facts of life" seem to come straight from pro-ana and thinspo forums where models teach normal people how to starve themselves and develop orthorexia...

Fantastic content. Mad respect to you both. Wanted to add - I'm one of those unlucky one's with love handle fat distribution. Bicep and oblique veins, nice handful size of love handles on the lower back. I'm not competing in any capacity, so I'm just focusing on overall recomp (I am on clinical trt) then going into a nice mass phase this fall/winter.

[@artecinc]

Please continue being true to yourself, that’s the way to build a lasting relationship with the comunity. Those that listen and learn are the ones worthy of your efforts anyway. I’m a 50 year old man who resumed weight lifting after 30 years. Mostly to cope with a divorce, but finding my younger self in the process. Looking at you, the natural young lifters for that combination of old school knowledge and new ideas and applying that to my own workouts. Please consider there may be more of us healthy old farts watching you an interview with someone older and natural would be nice. Thanks for your efforts and God bless you and your fitness journey.
