Synopsis

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 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 see how exercise science has missed some obvious principles that when enacted will turn you into the superhuman you 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 lay out a superior strength training approach that has been seen to put 20 pounds of muscle on drug-free, experienced lifters (i.e., not beginners) in six months.

I’ve been an evangelist of the X3 Bar and Dr Jaquish’s fitness philosophies for years now. It was so amazing to finally have all the thoughts down in one space.

Unexpected 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 mysel......more

Goodreads review by Misha on March 10, 2022

Ethically and epistemologically, I don’t know if this can be called a book as such. It is in fact a large advertisement for the author’s exercise invention called X3. In this shape, it does the job but had I known that, I might have not picked it up. The author presents excerpts from many studies an......more
