    Thanks again to Dr. Helms for being so generous with his time! This wasn't really exactly how I had planned on starting things, but I've considered doing long form podcast style collabs for a while now. I'll obviously have to get sound+video on my end sorted out a bit (I tried to record my audio locally but that failed), as well as practice the whole learning how to talk thing, plus time zones will make scheduling interesting, but I'm excited to see where this goes. So...who else should I have on the channel?
  • @rackpull772
    Geoff I just want to point out you're excellent as an interviewer because you ask a question and allow your guest to speak instead of talking over them and making it all about yourself. Which is something that even people whose entire channels are based on interviewing others have issues with.
  • @OmarIsuf
    Two Muscle Zaddies talking Muscle Zaddy things, I’m in all the way.
  • @aberwood
    Love seeing this new wave of the fitness industry. It's got integrity, which is something thats been sorely missed. Appreciate you being one of the guys helping turn it around Geoff.
  • @ParvParashar
    Wow! It’s absolutely amazing to see Dr. Eric Helms on the channel. I was really waiting for this collaboration to happen and I’m so happy to see that it did. I’m extremely excited to watch this and I’m certain that I’m going to really love it. You guys are two of my most favorite individuals in the fitness scene as you both are highly credible and knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing all the great and helpful information as well as your very valuable experience with us. Highly appreciate Eric for taking the time to share his insights and perspective with us. I’m deeply grateful to you guys for all the helpful information and knowledge. Thanks once again! 🙏
  • @ExdruidGaming
    This is so wholesome, Eric consistently reminding Geoffrey that he's not a bad guy. It warms my heart.
  • @glennnolasco6892
    Either I go to bed or listen to a 2-hour podcast of Geoff and Eric at 11pm here in the Philippines. Gotta listen to this while I drift away in my sleep
  • @bill_monty
    Really appreciate this conversation. Eric is someone I need to listen to and read more often. Definitely appreciate being evidence-based vs. science-based and knowing the distinction.
  • @Sparksnorthern
    Really great, Geoff. And thanks to Eric as well for sitting down to speak with you and discuss how the study can be misinterpreted by us lay folk.
  • Downloading so I can listen to it during my commute, been looking forward to hearing you guys two speak, so much to learn 🙏
  • @bloated_Taco
    OOOOH MY LORD I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING GEOFFREY AND ERIC HELMS LET’S GOOO
  • @trislifting47
    The last thing I expected when opening up youtube was a 2 hour long GVS video with a goofy ahh thumbnail. Okay jokes aside I'm excited
  • @angrygoldfish
    This clarified sooo much. Eric seems like such a good dude. I always appreciate the way he teaches, clarifying a point, or backtracking if he wasn't making his real thoughts absolutely clear. It was a delight to see him win the pro card. While I wish bodybuilding competitors didn't have to diet so hard to win and was more like it was in the 50's and 60's, I'd much rather we had that than the enhanced shows we have today. Thanks for doing the interview! Also lol'ed the powerbuilding is not a monstrosity comments. I love NH. I've learned so much from him, but I find it hard to agree with him on that one.
  • @Fitness_Lorenzo
    Now this is what I live for 💪 listened to this while I was working out. Did extra mobility work to finish the interview 😅 thanks.
  • @bushwentto711
