It’s weird to see Greg talking to someone instead of yelling at them.

[@DendyJungle]

Especially this guy who used to feud with greg

[@mr_wright_official_]

It's way better if you ask me, less drama, more useful information. To me this is the ultimate content, you have 2 experts in their respective fields with different focuses sharing theories and different strategies/perspectives so almost anyone with any goal can take something away from this.

[@Ryan_DeWitt]

Greg's yelling is part of his youtube character for entertainment. What you are seeing here is more of how he actually is in real life.

[@_ansp_]

He only yells at morons, mike is elite enough to not be yelled at

[@gregdoucette]

I don’t find it weird at all because I don’t yell all the time but then again I’m around myself about 24 hours a day so I pretty much see all kinds of versions of myself. You should see me at a party LOL

[@nateshsamaroo9562]

Seeing greg and mike talk together is like seeing naruto and sasuke fight together in the war arc

[@awemanyfit]

Chidori VS Racengan

[@D_Jilla]

I love that there's coach Greg fans that can make these references

[@TheLaxfizzle]

yelling at each other for hours for both basically saying the same thing in different ways that doesnt make sense to one another. ah, good times.

[@GrimyGrafhic]

And you’re a Dilla fan who can get both references. My worlds are colliding.

[@steveloge8119]

Israetel really hit us with that Science Style: Talk no Jutsu

[@albertosara416]

this whole interview series has been one of the best things on this channel, extremely informative and very good format

[@executivelifehacks6747]

I think Greg is learning from Derek, it's very effective and makes the channel better. 👍

[@gregdoucette]

Yeah I’ve been meaning to interview a lot of people for a long time however as you know my technology skills were low so I was a little bit nervous about recording people from around the world and doing interviews as there’s a lot of technical aspects but I have staff that help out with all of that

Agreed. Especially since it's someone who is very well respected like Dr. Mike. Let's see who he interviews next, would love to see james from shredded sport science or jeff nippard lmao

[@tripledot6758]

Contrast between the real Greg and the character is so huge. These interviews are quite awesome.

[@adamglltt89]

They're both real Greg, he reels in his passion when he's got others in the room. He's just reflecting how calm the other guy is.

[@nichins]

It's kind of fun watching the shouting, over-the-top, animated Greg. But I prefer the explanatory, informative, level-headed Greg. These interview videos are great.

[@damienwilliams8171]

I know drama sells but I like this type of content better -my 1.5 cents

[@sourikray1993]

I agree with your 1.5C 100%

[@ryzen232]

Totally on your side buddy, liked the old content more

[@HealthHorror]

EXACLTY. Drama gets old fast too. If someone wants longevity they best stay away from drama and just keep on their mission of teaching. I got tired of so many anabolic recipe youtubers because they all attack like wild dogs when someone messes up. And that's just high schoolish. Focus on your own mission. Leave the rest alone.

[@travishowrish4711]

I’m going for that Vegan Gains 30% bodyfat look

[@TheTenCentStory]

Damn being 30% on a vegan diet is an accomplishment honestly. How the F do you eat that much volume of food to be in that kind of caloric surplus?

[@MegaHakim1999]

Appreciate the Dr. Mike interviews. He provides a lot of good perspective and insight👍🏽

[@jugular911]

I can save everyone from watching the video: 10-20% is the sweet spot for most people for building muscle 5-10% you will build barely any muscle or none at all 20-30% you will build muscle, but at the trade off of cardiovascular issues during workouts and feeling worse in general

[@PabloSanchez-mo8ui]

And is 20-30 superior to 10-20?

[@snoopdoge3129]

@@PabloSanchez-mo8ui You could gain more but you could have health problems and training quality problems.

[@PabloSanchez-mo8ui]

@@snoopdoge3129 i was at 25% when i wrote the comment, felt like shit and cutted down to 10 percent. Im now doing a lean bulk since 2 weaks and im trying not to go over 14%

[@nusser_6179]

​@@snoopdoge3129 actually at that high bodyfat you will build little to no muscle because your insulinic sensibility will be really messed up, I'm following Mountain's advice to keep at max 16/17% bodyfat and when you reach that you do a quick mini cut, 6-8 weeks. Sorry for the paragraph, hope that helps somebody.

[@GuidetteExpert]

But the study was on unnatural people. So I have no idea if their steroids had any effects on their body. They should do another study on naturals.

45% BF is the sweet spot bro

Both of them are agreeing on same points ... i am liking both of them ... so much information 🤩🤩

[@milenneshterov6765]

Coach greg spitting the truth as usual

[@ghandn]

This is the collab I have been waiting for

[@bridgerarnold6412]

I found this channel years ago, back when Greg was breaking down pharmaceuticals and giving really good technical breakdowns of training and nutrition but in a style like this. I’ve really loved how the channel has grown and really do like all the extra content. But this type of conversation and information discussion is the whole reason I first really became a huge fan of coach Greg. Hopefully we can get more of this, maybe even a podcast because for me this style has a lot more impact and staying power.

[@MarathonMadman]

This could be one the most valuable videos you’ve put out there. Especially for anyone that is chasing the less than 10% body fat and wondering what to look out for so you don’t lose muscle.

[@eddie8096]

I'm glad Coach went with this Format. Definitely a welcome addition. Been a Subscriber since 40,000. I can't even begin to describe how much Knowledge I've learned from watching your videos. Knowledge from CICO to Training Harder. Knowledge I was able to implement on my Fitness Journey & have been seeing positive results since I found your channel. Keep em Comin' Doc! Thank you

[@Kevin.Simons]

I love these collabs! Mike and Greg are my two favorite authorities on nutrition and it’s great to see them discussing these topics.

[@lucaknobel1549]

[@DASwitcha]

I swear I was just questioning if I needed my bodyfat to stay at 15% to gain more muscle... thank you Coach!

[@TheTenCentStory]

Yes, staying in a healthy bodyfat is best. Going any lower is simply a vanity pov.

[@asurp7173]

15% body fat is the best to stay as natural, you look in shirt nor small nor fat

[@gregdoucette]

I tell people to main game at a body fat percentage that makes them feel good plenty of energy good sex drive able to sleep properly and train harder than last time. 15% for most people is probably a good place to start

These two are literally my #1 and #2 favorite fitness influencers online. I’m glad to see they are so aligned on their muscle building philosophy.

I'm hanging right around 14.4% bf right now and 183 pounds. I had been wondering for some serious time about this topic and recently discovered I've been making great strides in the gym at this weight. I'm normally between 175-178 and 13% bf and wasnt making much progress at all. This video kinda drove my point home of where my ideal bf seems to be for growth. I would like to get down to 12 -10% and drop a few pounds to do so but I'm really, really enjoying my workouts right now and the progress in strength is there. For example, my bench reps for 4 sets of 6 recently went from 250p to 260p and I'm stoked. Great video series and love this segment!
