    The next book is finally OUT!!! Really proud of how it turned out. It has completely new information, as I've learned quite a bit about training since the first one. It's focused on improving your hypertrophy-training process and breaking plateaus. It includes an almost SEVEN HOUR audiobook, which I decided to record myself rather than outsourcing. Feedback has been excellent so far. I don't do sponsored videos or have ads on the channel, so I really appreciate the support. I really is YOU who keeps the channel going! Can grab a copy below if it sounds like something you'd be interested in! www.verityfit.com/product-page/resurrecting-your-g…
  • Love the low budget look of this channel. Straight to the point and honest. None of those distracting BS scientific sound fx clicking and popping every 3 seconds with a voice over that took 10 tries.
  • @plutoburn
    As someone who is part of some fitness groups on social media, it always annoys me to see newbies obsessed with supplements while ignoring training/diet.
  • Man this dude is hands down my favorite fitness YouTuber. He gives you enough information to make it actionable, without taking you so deep into the weeds that you can't understand. And...I can trust what he says works, because he's not enhanced while claiming natty. Gratitude and respect.
  • I think this video, Natural hypertrophy's- "surviving novice syndrome" Bald omni man's- "Berserk Method" & "THIS is the secret to a the secret to an aesthetic physique" Stand Strength's "Ippo Protocol" are all undoubtedly top tier videos that are going to help a ton of new lifters in their journey to getting absolutely jacked and stacked

    You know what I like about you man? You are a pure strategist, a clear and precise thinker. No sports scientist, no dumb influencer, just a coach with a clear mind and purpose: to help people get more muscle. Salute!

    This is a delayed comment but congrats on the 100k Geoff, you're one of the youtubers who has helped me the most. Amazing milestone!
  • @D3RHiRO
    Great video as always. Love to see you rising. Keep grinding King!
  • @Arvid_Odmann
    Congrats on 100k! Just found this channel and i love how transparent you are. No bs straight to the point and very informative content. Awesome
  • @tomislavg9590
    Hey man, this video is so on point! Just what I needed to guide me in the right direction (reduce volume and increase weight and effort).
  • @strazed1
    ive been waiting for a video of this type for a long time
  • Great breakdown of what can happen if you prioritize these differently, very well-thought out! We can always use a reminder to check and recheck our technique!👍
  • Dragonball Z taught me right thing than. Technique, progression, and effort, in that order. It's amazing how it all comes back to this👌💪 Great video Geoff🙏
  • @sonicwave32
    Glad you made a distinction between effort and proximity to failure. Some powerlifting and evidence-based content would have you believe that reps from failure is all that matters, but I feel that how you attack the first few reps can set the tone too.
  • Volume is something I’ve struggled with for awhile to get the point across less is more in many cases. I just couldn’t recover in time for my next session. It’s kinda a mental thing, in most things the harder and more you practice it’s better. Congrats on 100k! 🎉
  • @ew-zd1th
    I would say progression is just the product of the adaption. You cant compare volume and progression. The right volume gives you the progression
