Ep #92 - Weight training is a waste of time - Dr John Jaquish

You read the title correctly. For someone who has been weight lifting since transitioning from a black and white TV to color why would I even ask such a question?

Maybe the question needs to be asked. Sometimes we blindly follow something because others do it. If we see results from what we have learned then our confidence in it is even more enforced.

This topic is the title of my guests’ book but removing the “is” so it reads Weight lifting is a waste of time"

We need to look at the choice of words used “weight training” not “resistance training” which is what we dissect and go through.

People are using bands for rehab which is useful but when used for resistance the wrist gets in a compromised position and can cause damage.

John has patented a technology utilizing the stability of a bar in regular weight training and have added some very thick bands to bring you X3.

Science has proved that through regular weight training you may be able to build muscle but it doesn’t mean that it is the most efficient way to do it. We discuss how Johns Jaquishs X3 patented technology could be the future of resistance training and for more muscle growth, strength and also good for cardiovascular endurance.

In this podcast we actually cover a vast array of health related topics and many are a very unorthodox approach. We even went off topic on a few occasions so my apologies haha.
