Timestamps added, sorry for the delay!

[@nicolasklug2311]

Thanks Abel for video as usual and a big thumbs up for Geoff !

[@ssdabel]

thanks so much!

[@robertmosley1188]

Great podcast! I'm definitely one of those people that struggle to get calories in. Trying to eat as much as I can and topped out around 87kg at 177cm for the last couple months

[@Vayanovic]

did u feel u got a lot of fat? or did u just look better anyway because of the muscle gains? im gaining muscle now around maintenance/slight surplus because of the obsession with 'low fat physique' but i feel im holding myself back by not trying to really gain the weight

[@robertmosley1188]

@@Vayanovic No, I didn't gain much fat (I'm about 12-14% bf). Probably because I haven't gained a lot of weight since I started "force feeding". I was already about 83kg, so only gained 4kg. Fat is pretty easy to lose anyway. I'd definitely recommend bulking (unless you're already 20% bf). Better than spending all that effort in the gym and not having enough fat/calories to actually build more muscle.

[@emmacunningham6333]

I am loving these podcasts. Please invite Brawny King fitness next.

[@Hedgeflexlfz]

I'm currently trying to end the binge/restrict cycle. It's really ruining my life and undoing a lot of physique and sport progress.

[@jasonrios3120]

You’re in the right path by coming to this channel, may I ask what your trigger foods are if you have identified them?

[@nicolasklug2311]

Agreed Abel has released quite a bit of videos on this which def helped me. It will take time but you're def not the only one man.

[@Hedgeflexlfz]

@@jasonrios3120 There isn't a specific trigger, I tend to binge on palatable food, but I've binged on unsalted peanuts, almonds, and even oatmeal before.

[@jasonrios3120]

@@Hedgeflexlfz step one, don’t have those in the house, step 2, watch Abel’s video on going all in

[@ssdabel]

will make a video on this very soon. Stories like this are exactly which made me a bit discouraged lately to put out fitness content, I see it too many times. But I have to talk about this, bc there needs to be awareness around this

[@richardtrass]

Hmm. At 1 h 20 ish GVS talks about legs torso isolation. Would like to hear more about that split.

[@danielm1]

24:17 DOUBT IT Anyway, I recall long ago NH predicting his channel will be taken down eventually and it seemed like he was fully accepting it, and as soon as it was actually taken down, I was thinking back to him saying it, and was a bit surprised how happy he seemed to get it back. The accumulated effort he put in his videos, the community and relationships he built seems to have got to him. Or maybe I'm misremembering.

[@StandStrength]

For GVS its part of his livelyhood. Would you rather lose your job or lose a small part of your hand? I remember NH saying that as well but his channel is becoming like a Magnum Opus. Its hard for any man to put so much into something and let go immediately when life forces you to.

[@danielm1]

​@@StandStrength I would rather lose my job than mutilate myself. I can get many more jobs, but I get only one body. And I don't even intend to stay at my job forever. The question is definitely more interesting for an online business. Financial freedom or working very few hours is an attractive idea.

[@GVS]

I stand by that statement 100%. This isn't just a job. You lose a job, you get a new job. Might even be a better job. I've lost jobs before due to company closures and that's just a minor speed bump in the road of life. But to lose everything and not even being able to start anew? Pretty much every fitness KZbinr I know IS their channel. It's destroying a huge part of who a person is. It's eviscerating their identity and community all at once. It's not just my livelihood, it's something I've spent the majority of my waking hours on for a few years. Little finger is nothing compared to that.

[@bannedtwice7767]

Can't criticize Big Pharma, the mainstream media, or government anymore. Scary times.

[@bassline11]

The entire internet is becoming incredibly lame and boring, there's not a single platform that is better than it was some 7 years ago (not speaking about the quality of the content).

[@fabioq6916]

We never had absolute free speech in modern society. Never. And rightly so when you think about it.

[@ssdabel]

you have to draw a line somewhere, like explicitly urging people to do horrific things probably should be strictly monitored. but now basically everything gets you canceled thats not 100% vanilla pc stuff

[@fabioq6916]

@@ssdabel yes indeed. We have lots of lines: from patent enfringements and copyright to hate speech and unfounded medical claims. The thing about cancelling is that it shows 1) youtube is a private company and can impose whatever rules it likes just as you can evict someone from your home for saying anything at all you feel objectionable and 2) you can say anything you like in public if you are prepared to accept the consequences. My take? Freedom of speech is indeed important but "cancel culture" is nowhere near the threat it is being made out to be. It certainly pales in comparison to the anti-intellectual and bigoted right wing extremism we see on the rise. Not even close. And that these extremists wrap themselves with the banner of free speech (when they would be the first to deny it to others) is a much bigger issue. Example? They want shopkeepers to have the freedom not to serve gays or minorities because "freedom and private enterprise" but whine about KZbin responding to public objections. There is a balance of course, but this meme of cancel culture is being weaponised for the wrong reasons.

[@djjankov6667]

Twins ?

[@cronosmu]

Something similar happened to Anthony Pompliano. Big guy, 1.5 million followers on Twitter , 350k subscribers here. Dude has a finance show, mostly foccused on Bitcoin. One day his channel was terminated while streaming. Turned out some random KZbin employee from India (that's the outsourcing Geoff was talking about) decided the show was a scam. He got the channel back in a matter days, mostly thanks to his huge following. Censorship and cancel culture are a real cancer of our times, but sometimes stuff like this is about plain ineptitude.

[@jizim8947]

Drinking orange juice is pretty stupid, has almost as much sugar as soda. But after listening to what he eats it makes more sense. Whatever you do don't listen to this guy for any nutritional needs.

[@GVS]

The sugar is exactly WHY I drink it. Not saying anyone else should do it. I think I made it clear this is just what I've chosen to do.

[@richardtrass]

@@GVS guess it’s just a form of pre workout 😄

[@hemiihemm]

Wtf…bulking on protein powder, juice milk & pizza. I don’t get it…What about meat??

[@GVS]

I eat meat most days, certainly every week, I never said that's all I ate.

[@hemiihemm]

@@GVS ok, thanks for clarifying…I suck at bulking…I eat food & ice cream & barely gain weight. Will juice & milk help?

[@GVS]

@@hemiihemm possibly, yea. not as filling.

[@richardtrass]

I was a bit taken aback by GVSs diet description too but good on him for honesty and he’s definitely gotten bigger so…. Hard to say he’s doing it wrong…. Seems to work for him. I remember back in the 80s as a teen drinking milk like that post workout.

[@GVS]

@@richardtrass yea I don't train or eat for health. If longevity and being as healthy as possible were the goal I'd eat differently. It's my choice. People should eat for their own goals.

[@ugbuga99]

Rumble is a good option as an alternative. Dan Bongino migrated there and has over 2 million subscribers and growing, so there are other platforms out there. And I believe it requires "normies" like us to get on there and not just political figures. Just my two cents.

[@cussyrichards6121]

Bro, almost the entire 1st half of this video was not about fitness but rather about KZbin. I don't watch your stuff to learn how to make KZbin videos (that's up to you to get on with), I watch to actually learn about fitness - and I reckon most of your audience is the same way. Just food for thought so you don't alienate your subscriber base.

[@ssdabel]

Bro, I have, let's see...398 videos on KZbin, about 99% of it is purely fitness education, I think 30 minutes of talk about something else is not going to ruin anything:) I don't plan to turn the channel into talking about random stuff, so don't worry!
