Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time

So Is Cardio, and There’s a Better Way to Have the Body You Want

De: Dr. John Jaquish, Henry Alkire

Narrado por: Phoenix Phillips

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.

Hypertrophy

I am sorry to ruin this, because it is all you were going to hear now. But I think they subbed in “hypertrophy.”. He must’ve been pronouncing it wrong or something because it is kind of obvious that it is not the original recording of the word.

Other than that the book is basically a large advertisement for X.3.

It’s a commercial!

Lol I want my money back this is totally just a commercial! Although it probably does make a lot of sense. Just wasn’t what I was expecting.

Excellent book

A lot of information that I intrinsically thought was correct and now it’s proven to be right!

This has Merit Despite Biases

This might be a biased sales pitch for Jaquish’s product, but this is eye opening with supportive and credible research and data. I’m not ready to do his program, but I’d do a smaller or different scale of his program under another model that’s economical for me. My only issue is his lack of benefits of flexibility and no consideration of it when flexibility has its sexiness and physical health benefits.
