53. Dr. John Jaquish - Inventor of the X3, Author of “Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time”

The Professional Athlete Podcast with Ken Gunter

Dr. Jaquish is here to revolutionize the fitness industry whether you like it or not.

Dr. John Jaquish is the author of the new book “Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time: So is Cardio, and there’s a better way to have the body you want”. He is the Inventor of the X3 Bar at home fitness trainer. A biomechanical engineer by trade, Dr. Jaquish’s first invention focused on Osteogenic loading, and has since seen wide scale global adoption and praise for helping individuals suffering from conditions like osteoporosis build back bone density.

In today’s episode we discuss why “weight training” as it’s always been done is a waste of time. Why static weight is an ineffective means for stimulating muscle growth. The concept and application of Variable Resistance. The importance of understanding strength throughout range of motion. The misconception you have to break down muscle to grow. The importance of getting a hormonal response. What he believes the industry has gotten wrong about fat loss. The importance of protein for muscle gain and why he’s a proponent of the Carnivore Diet.
