    Also, pushups. I missed pushups. As basic as it gets really. Any other ones you'd add to "THE BASICS"?
  • They don't work well because they're basics, they're basics because they work well.
  • @nafikos6450
    You can tell how advanced someone is by how well he performs the basics and the fundamentals of any task. It is that simple
  • @danielbarnes8514
    I hope you get 10 million subs. Speaking of basics, you’re basically the only workout guy on YouTube that I agree with almost everything you say. Seems everyone else ignores results and says to never question the study or anything they say because they are an exercise scientist, whatever that is. Good thing Micheal Jordan’s coach had a degree in Basketballology or he wouldn’t have been anything.
  • @dmcc2873
    Wow. Been many months since I checked in on GVS - looking SAUCY, bro! Crushing it!
  • @BlaineKK37
    Your bar path on bench is perfect, happy new year
  • @Aarohnn
    I love that “basic” Ronnie Coleman meme 😂😂
  • @Apocolypse88
    good video as always, brother. and the hair is lookin' dope, incidentally!
  • @sooparticular
    ive been watching you for a while and I cannot believe how few subs you have!!! you are the BEST!!! you honestly should have 10 million subs but people are lost and dont appreciate the really good stuff I guess..Happy new year from nyc!
  • @ebelesaurus2
    Happy new year to you and your family Geoffrey. Hope y’all had a great holiday. Wishing you and the family a year full of opportunities, success, good health and gains… and many more such years to come.

    man i am still doing knee push ups since i am stuck at 20kg bench press. wish me luck.
  • Holy shit bro you’re looking gigantic, its insane. Amazing video, as always.
  • @FitLabb
    Many people I’ve seen who stagnate their progress at the gym are the beginners who keep trying new silly & less effective exercise variations they find from their favorite influencers.
