Resumen del Editor

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.

Very informative

If you’re listening to this, it may be because you are interested in the X3 Bar or are already a user. In that case, you’ll get exactly what you’re here for.

If you’re not interested in the X3, you might get a little annoyed about hearing about the X3 development process, so consider yourself warned. There is still enough substance to keep you interested.

The book is well written and well narrated. I was afraid that the book might have a bunch of graphs that won’t translate well to narration, but as far I as can tell, that wasn’t the case.

Profound

This was the first health, fitness and nutrition book I was able to finish in the last decade! It's maybe the 20th I've started. I usually get hung up on un-verifiable assertions that seem to be more interested in evangel-lastic tellings of their systems to get me to buy something. I already bought the X3 bar and was using it for 10 weeks at the time of reading this book, but I loved the verifiable research mixed in with sprinkles of relatable narrative!

Good stuff.

I learned a lot. Worth the time. Give it a try. Four more words required.

Yes it's a sales pitch.

You should be sold on a better way to load muscles that requires an X3 bar or high quality, well made replica. X3 bar doesn't look like much. And even the arguments in the book don't sound like much. Yet when you put it all together you end up NOT wasting your time and money on gyms, equipment, coaches, and diets. You can actually look good (have the body you want) and not spend countless hours slaving away to get it. Everyone who is into fitness as a business or lifestyle will not like it. No gym. No weights. No cardio. Just real world results.

Lifts should be a LOT HEAVIER where you are strongest.
Animal protein should be the focus of your diet.
Consistency + Heavy = > you healthy

Don't waste your life. Don't hurt yourself.

Ghanged my life !

The info in this book is amazing and after going through the book twice, I purchased ans X3.
I'm working out 6 days a week, I rarely deal with PMS from lifting or joint pain.

I'm stronger,.leaner and feel.amazing And I'm over 40.

This should be taught to our children!

Get ready to have yo mind blown in the best way!!!

it's amazing when you learn the real truths about everything we've been lied to about! like he says your mind has to be open to learning the truth!! A must listen to in my top five of all reads!!!

One of the best books on the topic

As far as the title is concerned, I haven't read a ton of books on the topic but very few books that I re-read (or re-listen in this case) over and over. Just to make sure I absorb the information well.

This is one of those books.

Lets see if it works.

10% ad, 90% data

yes, it has afs for the X3 bar, which I already own, but the science and data backing it up is very informative and interesting. half the book is actually about fasting and the carnivore diet. good listen.

Breakthrough Data in Fitness that you can actually use!!

Wow, the fitness industry is producing no results (their dirty little secret that no one is talking about), numbers don’t lie! This book will strip the myths from your mind and then, once it’s clean, will show you how to do it right and start finally making fast, predictable, gains. This is the way.

This Book Changed My Life

After training with weights most of my adult life, with poor results and many injuries, I am all in with Dr Jaquish's protocol. It will change your life.
