"I did a full blood analysis with Function Health and it turned out I was deficient in vitamin D was one of them... I started taking them, and I think within about 3 months I felt probably 10 years younger."

"I don't even think you should track calories. You should track your weight. You take your weight five to seven days a week... you circle the middle number and that's your weight for the week, rather than... the once a week weighing. It's ridiculous because it could be on a heavy day or a light day."

"80% of the muscle growth is going to occur from just training your whole body twice a week in two days. So I lift weights twice a week. That's it. I have a lot of muscle."

"For overall development, I would do a shoulder press with a machine... Side laterals is great, but this is going to build more overall muscle. So if I had to pick one, I would do this one over the other... In the last year, there's not many exercises I've done other than this and this."

"The protein ice cream is probably the thing that curbed my stomach the best in all my years of doing anything. That combined with massive jumbo salads... That's what allowed me to stay lean for 20 years."

"For me, I would advise everyone, you got to do zone two cardio at least 150 minutes a week. That's the minimum. That's not to lose weight, that's like the minimum just for basic health. I would double that."
Health & fitness Greg warns against
Things Greg says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.
"I used finasteride and it has potential, and for me, negative sexual side effects. So less bedroom performance... I've had two of my friends have that effect including me. So I don't know if it's underreported, but from the sample size that I've had, it's not really worth it."

- HRT (Testosterone Replacement) Uses it "I do 140 milligrams of HRT a week, with 80 milligrams every 4 days. So that's all I'm doing for testosterone or steroids or growth hormone or insulin." Only Greg
- Machine shoulder press Recommends it "For overall development, I would do a shoulder press with a machine... Side laterals is great, but this is going to build more overall muscle. So if I had to pick one, I would do this one over the other... In the last year, there's not many exercises I've done other than this and this." Only Greg

- Stem cell injections Uses it "It was less than a year ago, and three of my really close friends, we all went. I had injections in my shoulder and my hip... and we also did it for the hair. I believe that it works... I would say I feel better, but I'm not certain." Only Greg
- THC Edibles Uses it "I don't even care if it's weed. Sometimes I'll take edibles with THC to help me sleep better, and I've got put down on the internet for saying that." Only Greg
- Zone 2 training Recommends it "For me, I would advise everyone, you got to do zone two cardio at least 150 minutes a week. That's the minimum. That's not to lose weight, that's like the minimum just for basic health. I would double that." +7 others
- Dutasteride Recommends it "I would take dutasteride if I had to recommend something over finasteride. With finasteride there's the sexual side effects." +2 others
- Hip thrust Recommends it "The most underrated muscle that men don't work on is by far the ass... Men will go into the gym and do curls all day long and bench presses and so on, but they won't do some hip thrusts, which is what the girls are looking at... So, you got to work your glutes. That is a must for the men." Only Greg
- Side lateral raises Recommends it "Side laterals is great, but this is going to build more overall muscle... But other than that, side laterals. So in the last year, there's not many exercises I've done other than this and this." Only Greg
- Skinfold Caliper Test Recommends it "The skinfold caliper test, I like it more than that. The hydrostatic weighing test I like more than the others as well, but that's a lot of work. The skinfold caliper test is great if I'm the one doing it, but the problem is it's only as accurate as the person measuring it." Only Greg
