You’ve been lifting for a few years. When you take your shirt off, do you look like a professional athlete? Do you even look like you work out?

Many so-called fitness experts defend weights and cardio like they are infallible. But where are the results? Why does almost nobody look even marginally athletic?

Fitness may be the most failed human endeavor, and you are about to hear how exercise science has missed some obvious principles that, when enacted, will turn you into the superhuman that you've always wanted to be.

In Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time, Dr. John Jaquish and Henry Alkire explore the science that supports this argument and present a superior strength-training approach that has been known to put 20 pounds of muscle on drug-free, experienced lifters (i.e., not beginners) in six months.

Title: Unexpected
Review: I want to be completely transparent, before starting this review. I am an X3 user, and have been for about 4 months prior to reading this book. Im also well aware of confirmation bias and a whole bunch of other subconscious cognitive biases that humans have, which definitely includes myself. Also, I’m not paid by X3, and have no affiliation with the product, manufacturers or its creators. I bought the product with my own money and have not been paid for any testimonials whatsoever. That is my preface to this review.With that being said I went into this book, thinking it was going to be more of a subjective opinion about the product itself. Having used X3 for going on 4 plus months now, I subjectively can confirm that the product works. However, I thought this book was going to be heavy on trying to up sell the products produced by the manufacturer and shorter on the science behind its claims. Although there is a little bit of that sprinkled here and there, it’s not as blatant as other books that are trying to sell you something.The research that went into this book is pretty astonishing. Every study is cited at the end of every chapter and the theory’s presented make sense. I even double checked multiple cited studies to confirm, and confirm I did. Even some of the most outlandish claims, such as “cardio is pretty much useless,” the book does a good job explaining its claim and citing some pretty fascinating studies. The author even goes a step further to address the criticisms of his own claims about “cherry picking,” certain studies. Which I found really refreshing. Just the fact that an author is aware enough of their own biases, and tries to work through them in a coherent and scientific manner was super fascinating to read.With all that said I will say, that I found one aspect about the science a little perturbing. It’s more of an omission, but still a little annoying. The book does not mention a single time the role that fiber plays (or doesn’t) in the whole general theory on nutrition presented. This is a bit annoying, considering its claims about nutrition and strictly its encouragement of a strictly animal protein diet. It goes over extensively the many fallacy’s of carbohydrate rich diets and the harm that they can do, which is becoming more and more obvious in the current time, yet it doesn’t mention 1 time the role of fiber, which is a carbohydrate. And as of this writing I have yet to find a study touting the harms of fiber. I just wish the authors spent a little more time delving into that issue.All in all though, I thought it was a really intelligent thesis on the science behind variable resistance training. But don’t take my word for it, please do your own research. Read the studies! Even the ones that go against what your intuitive thoughts are. It will only make you a smarter more educated person and as far as I can tell, can only lead to a better understanding of exercise.

Title: Breakthrough Concepts That You Can Implement Right Away
Review: This book is very well written and the arguments are extremely compelling. There are many fitness books out there promoting different training modalities but it's rare to see a book with such an extreme and powerful breakthrough topic - as evidenced by the provocative title!!I am a 55-year-old lifelong competitive athlete trying to stay in shape, prevent injuries, and achieve exciting performance goals. I come from an endurance background so I've had to acclimate to strength training in my adult life over the course of many decades since my peak years as a professional triathlete competitor. It's been a struggle and I've been constantly trying to figure out a formula that works for me. My problem is I easily get sore and/or injured when pursuing the traditional approach to strength training of lifting heavy weights in the gym. Even the safe machines such as the leg press have caused me trouble with extreme post-workout soreness. I have learned good deadlift technique from experts but still get sore after workouts and this adversely affects my athletic performance and sport-specific workouts.I was acquainted with the alternative philosophy of Dr. Jaquish and was immediately highly intrigued. I acquired an X3 bar and was completely hooked upon my very first workout. The concept of being able to apply maximum force production with maximum resistance (the opposite of lifting a heavy bar!) made sense in writing, but when you try it you will realize how effective this is immediately. You get a tougher, more comprehensive workout in a shorter time period.Now on to the matter of cardio being a waste of time: As an endurance athlete with decades of experience, this concept could be off-putting...if it wasn't true! That's right, I am convinced that the traditional approach to cardio is deeply flawed and fraught with risk of overtraining and hormone dysfunction. When you are doing an effective strength training session, it happens that you are getting a fantastic cardio workout, along with all the other benefits of putting your muscles under resistance load and generating the comprehensive stimulation at both the maximum explosiveness and the muscle endurance/glycogen depletion made possible by the X3 Bar using super heavy resistance bands.If you are stuck in your ways and absolutely love spending an hour in the gym lifting heavy weights or working with machines, hey that's not a bad way to spend your time. Better than Netflix. If you are looking to optimize your workout time, achieve peak performance breakthroughs, and also reduce the risk of injury and breakdown (alert: This becomes way, way more important as you get older!), it's important to be open to new concepts and strategies. If you are a healthy skeptic who needs lots of convincing and likes to say, "show me the science," you will appreciate the level of detail and scientific rationale provided for every single concept presented. Hopefully this message will convince you that this book deserves five stars and can be life changing for you! Thanks for reading.

Title: A must read
Review: Really interesting read. My jaw dropped on the section where the author explains through engineering how certain exercises like long distance running impacts bone density and muscle atrophy. On diet, can't do whey as I developed a histamine allergy to it after long term usage. I'd recommend reading "In Search of the Perfect Protein" to help determin what may work best for you. Caveat: that author pushes his products as well, but it is informative. Not a huge fan of plant based proteins as they tend to be high in lectins which I try to avoid thanks to reading "Plant Paradox."After suffering a workout injury from a leg press machine which damaged my disc, I'm looking forward to building muscle again via resistance X3. Sounds like it's a tad pricey for a bar with bands but it's Covid friendly and convenient. I wish the author posted some sprinting routines as well. I didn't quite finish the book yet but got on here to peak at reviews. I'll update once I fully engage in thr program. As far as intermittent fasting, great book disussing supportive studies is "The Obesity Plan" Presents evidence which explains how snacking causes insulin resistance and diabetes. At first it sounded like plagerism off of Gary Taubes' book "Good Calories Bad Calories" but he caught my attention when he started explaining how a three meal a day or intermittent fasting routine will lower insulin, one of the main culprit for fatness. Good luck you all. Wishing you all the best in health and fitness.

Review: Sehr interessant. Wenn dieses hocheffiziente Training mit wenig Verletzungsgefahr funktioniert würde dies phantastisch sein. Ich werde es testen und bin motiviert und gespannt. Allerdings ist die Hardware auch bei Amazon viel günstiger und besser. Sportboard und bar. Othersports cool auf Amazon.

Review: El libro está muy bien ya que explica su método, las conclusiones a las que a llegado y su producto inventado. El problema desde mi punto de vista es que se auto-promociona en muchas paginas. También hay que decir que el producto comercializado es extremadamente caro. El trabajo científico y los ejemplos puestos merecen la pena ser probados. Aún así recomiendo este libro saltándote toda la paja.

Review: Before I found X3 I was in month 3 of literally lying in bed unable to walk from over training and hurting a previous lower back injury (L4-L5 micro lumbar disc decompression). I injured myself in June and didn't begin walking until October. I resumed work in February and have not missed a day since. My body is continually getting stronger. I can't recommend X3 more, and this book is quickest way to bring yourself up to speed if you haven't been following John's podcasts, articles, and FB group for the past 2 years.
