He says he is on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, but he says on normal levels of test. Says he needed it after a rugby injury caused trauma to one of his testicles, and that he is at normal levels with TRT. Firstly I'm sceptical of what he says. Secondly, how the hell does he know what would be normal for him unless he had a blood test when he was at normal levels pre-injury? There's a HUGE range to normal here. Thirdly, so many UA-cam fitness influencers who are on TRT are definitely on the highest they can get prescribed because they want to get jacked. However they they keep an eye on their diet and workout properly. Unlike this guy. Anyone that wants to buy him a new Lamborghini should buy his $500 stretch bands and metal stick and plate. Everyone else can save some money.
I am 61 and I look younger than John Jaquish. I lift weights, do CrossFit, run ultra marathons and do Spartan races. I really didn't like his age comment about being 46. I would have not problem on taking him on in any sport and hand his ass on a platter. My joints are perfectly fine, in fact in my estimation humans are built to run, primal humans had to run down their food, and in some parts of the world humans still run down an animal until exhaustion, we cannot run faster but we can run longer. He talks about body builders with round faces, well has he looked in the mirror lately. He talks about isolated movements such as bench press and shoulder press, and triceps extensions, where exactly in life do you apply those movements? The human body is made to work on multi joint movements, so why not train your body the same way. I would put money on it that my fitness regime is better than his and when I'm 70 I can still hand his ass on a platter.
we walked down are food followed prey until they gave up, no real running except sprinting which is our og , but no multi miles of constant running thats dumb would not be needed we wouldn't waste the energy
Sooo many people get injured from doing CrossFit. I have heard about the dangers for years. But, I also have a friend who's done it for over 10 years and loves it, so I guess we're all different.
FYI this guy got his “PHD” from a distance learning facility. “Rushmore University”. He does not understand muscle physiology, modern hypertrophy science (ROM, volume, intensity)
Latest research shows it’s possible “lengthened partial repetitions” are comparable to full range of motion repetitions…. This fellow thinks loading the end or shortened range of motion more is the key to building strength and muscle . He’s 100% proven incorrect.
He doesn’t even sound intelligent or like he knows anything at all. I get a real snake oil salesman vibe from him immediately. Then, the more he talks, the more I realize my instincts are spot on.
I watched a bloke on UA-cam using his X3 put a workout on every time he trained I think he did it for a good while and never looked like him so it goes to show he's taking all sorts of shit.
Wow nice guest! Not a narcissistic person at all! Now everyone wants to buy his bands! X3 bands should be in the Olympics! He eats once a day, doesn't take testosterone, and never touches weights? I like how he tells stories about him on how cool he is instead of actual real body science!
There comes a point when yet another interview with a person with a view which contradicts people's actual experience with resistance training is one interview too many.This guy is just nuts - I'm sorry - but most of what he saying is nonsense and my own experiences as a 65 year old contradicts everything he's saying.Why Gabrielle invited this guy on given that she MUST have known his views during the research stage of her podcast preparation is beyond me. I'm not saying live forever in a bubble and ignore certain views. I'm saying you have a responsibility to your community of followers to present views and opinions and advice which match your own experiences as a Doctor and advisor - especially to the older segments of the population. This health space is becoming way too crowded for my liking and I'm not surprised people are turning off after being confused and overwhelmed with the wildly contradictory views of a litany so-called experts doing the rounds on YT. Enough already. Stick to the KISS principle - keep it simple. Your job is to bring the essentials to those who need it - not talk to people who basically contradict everything you have worked hard to interpret and filter for the rest of us struggling to make sense of it all.
I wasted four months of training using the X3. I was not impressed with my results. My arms appeared smaller and I wasn't happy with how I was looking. When I went back to lifting weights I had demonstrably lost strength across the board. I stuck it out for just over four months because I wanted to give the system a legitimate test run to see if it could live up the marketing claims. I hoped that it would, but for me it ultimately didn't. I eventually threw in the towel on the X3 and and went back to lifting weights. I probably got better results in one month of weight training than in the previous 3+ months that I had committed to the X3 so in a way they got the "3x better" part sort of correct only in reverse as I’ve personally found that my weight training results were 3x better than they were when using the X3. The X3 has been out for 4 years now. If it legitimately built muscle 3x faster than weight training as claimed then we should be seeing countless examples of guys who put on 50lbs.+ of solid muscle over that time (as Jaquish claims to have done) and yet we clearly haven't seen that.
Agreed, and same here. I was/am am an advanced lifter and used it during covid as a means to supplement the gym. I found the workout itself was great and the gains were solid. After a little while (perhaps 4-5 months), the gains stopped. I do think it could serve value in a pinch and/or for those who are more casual with lifting, but it wasn't it for me
@@gregz1235 I could see the X3 being of value to someone who travels a lot or who has limited time and space. A beginner will probably find the abbreviated program and limited time investment appealing. I'm also not a novice to exercise and my diet and never been cleaner. I followed the X3 workout to the letter. I wanted it to work as advertised (who wouldn't want to gain muscle 3x more efficiently?). It simply isn't better than lifting weights and no way is it 3x better as claimed.
Hmmm. I'm a bit confused. In a recent podcast menopausal women were encouraged to lift heavy shit. Would this be considered heavy shit? I love lifting heavy. It gives me a real boost. I would really like to hear Dr. Lyon's honest opinion on this matter. I love her muscle centric approach and her stand on nutrition. However this podcast left me confused.
The x3 band workout is a heavy workout and great for post menopausal women to build muscle without injury and soreness. It’s a tough workout for sure, but only takes about 20 minutes, so it’s hard to find an excuse not to do it.
I wish he didn’t talk so negatively about everyone else not using his methodology. We understand that you are the smartest guy in the room when it comes to mechanical tension and all of this extra fluff. You don’t have to constantly say how dumb we are for doing it away that we have learned is relatively effective. Maybe not as affective, but still yields results.
@@AlastrionaS Hi Austin, yes I know. I was being facetious because he was coming across (to me) as being rather arrogant and he was knocking the COVID vaccination (in that he didn't have one). Thank you for caring to try and put me right. Have a lovely day wherever you are.
Dr Lyon has a lot of grace when she does interviews. I find his appearance and cough concerning. If you are so healthy why are you coughing every time you talk. I’ve tried every training style every eating style. I find at 64 a mix of heavy weights stretches band work and some cardio as well as occasional busts of intensity has been the best for my health. I eat clean. No seed oils, no highly processed foods, no nitrates. Meat eggs cheese cream fruits a little sourdough some peanut butter veggies. and honey. Mostly organic when available. I think balance is important.
Came across the book putzin around the library after major tweaking a shoulder doing dumbbell incline bench. Two plus months with variable resistance on X3 has been a game changer on my exercise approach.
😄I'd definitely find his health advice more convincing if he wasn't perpetually struggling to clear his throat. Antivaxxers have a remarkable tendency of getting Covid a lot!
The dullest people in the world are the ones who think the discovery of hypocrisy (real or not) is four-emojis hilarious. Can we have a look at your arms, please?
@waldenmathews8059 what a contribution. You must be proud of your "exciting" life commenting all over the internet to complete strangers with absolutely no point. Bravo.
Soloflex started variable resistance in the 80's. It was marketed as a home workout system for decades. Also, people have been adding bands to barbells for many years as well. It's not a new concept.
Hello - he IS a car salesmen, they both are. This is one long info-mercial and a classic example of marketing propaganda. Along with the shorter inserted info-mercials, all showing young, buff tatooed people so happy while ingested on the products Dr. Lyon endorses. I'm not sure most in the comments realize they are being played.
I'm normally not skeptical, but is that a "Tren" cough? Dr. Lynon's limited engagement in the conversation, makes me wonder if she had similar thoughts. Regardless, I think Dr. Jaquish has some good points. Excessive sets seem counter productive. It may be a good investment of time to look into variable resistance training.
As a Over the Road truck driver I do not get the chance to do a lot of exercise. I purchased the X3 about a year ago and can do all the exercises in my truck without any problems. I take it everywhere doing it 4 days a week. At 62 years old I’m much stronger and better off using the X3. So this just works if you use it and follow the program as it is presented.
Huh... this is everything against what Dr. Lyon preaches on weight lifting... but interesting to listen to. But still feel people need to lift heavy for muscle health or lift till muscles are fatigued (even light weights).
From what I was understanding on this interview, what he promotes still involves fatigue to the muscles. He has just found a way to circumvent all the extra training that doesn’t do anything to help. Please, correct me if I am wrong.
He's saying that lifting heavy puts pressure on the joints, because the weight you need to grow muscle at the top of a movement is too much for you at the bottom. Variable resistance using bands, where the weight is light at the bottom where you are weakest but heavy at full extension, is the best way to lift without risking injury.
I’ve tried so many diet protocols, training styles, strength coaches, powerlifting etc. and nothing got me in shape as fast or as good as X3 truthfully. People need to stop bashing what they haven’t tried
This one was really difficult to listen to! As a 62 year old endurance athlete who trains with a performance goal, I am still running, not broken, not skinny and I love eating carbs, including fruit. I am willing to takeaway some bits of into to improve my strength routine going forward but, hearing athletes with a strength training focus paint all of us cardio athletes with the same brush is a little tiring. We're not all the same, there are variances in results, physiques and diets. "You don't know what you don't know". Goes both ways.
Agreed. People are variable and will see different results with different diets. I prefer low carb. Not zero carb but low carb getting almost all of my carbs from fresh Vega, nuts and fruit. People that treat how they eat like a religion are irritating no matter where they are coming from.
I've done Isometrics all my life,... I'm still muscular at 70 yrs old without being extreme, unlike like body builders who I know are using steroids.... Being on a very low carb diet, eating protein and fats definitely helps...
Dr Lyon, you need to get Dr Anthony Chaffee on your podcast. He is a Carnivore Neurosurgeon, and he has had many videos with Dr.Shawn Baker and Dr Jaquish
ILL BET THIS GUY IN SECRET PUMPS IRON ALSO WHY DONT THEY SHOW HIS AMAZING MACHINE? THEY DESCRIBE IT BUT WONT SHOW IT. AS FAR AS LONGEVITY IVE SEEN LOTS OF INTERVIEWS WITH CENTENARIANS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE BULKY MUSCLES AND ONLY EAT MEAT, NOT ONE.
No offense but the argument made here about tendons and 'outliers' have so many flaws i just have to question them. First issue: if someone's tendon were attached at the end of the humerus instead of the beginning, they would have to apply significantly less torque and muscular force to move the same amount of weight, so there muscle would actually be smaller not larger. Second issue: he claims the tendon takes a greater share of the resistance in these people but even if that were true, then once again the muscle is not working that hard and shouldn't be growing as a result. third problem with the tendons is he fails to mention that muscles are far more elastic than tendons. Tendons are the rope muscles pull on and its the muscle that is working majority of elasticity. The more elastic the tendon, the less force you can produce, not the other way around. As if this weren't bad enough he starts talking about genetic outliers in the NFL and the fact that they build muscle much faster than your average person. But apparently this doctor has turned a blind eye to the rampant steroid, hgh, and performance enhancer use in both professional and college level sports. You can't compare them to the average lifter unless you also give average lifter the same steroids and growth hormones. Before these pharmaceuticals came out, notice how no single person looked like these "genetic outliers". So either genetic outliers somehow only exist nowdays, or the real thing outlying here is their use of pharmaceutical testosterones. Why are the most muscular guys in the world training their butts off with weights? Because lifting gave them massive progress. Man there are so many issues with this i have to conclude this is snake oil
@@MoSec9 Opinion and knowledge aren’t the same if you look at the etymology of the words. Clearly this man is knowledgeable in his field and stating facts not opinions.
He gives his view on things. That’s fair play. All the pearl clutchers wanting fact checkers (who are they and employed by whom?) in the comment section are a perfect example of what’s wrong with a society that has divorced itself from critical thinking.
I will say that I have used both bands and waits in the past. I personally find more growth with weights but I find that burning much quicker with the bands. I like using a combination
I feel bad for saying, but between his complexion and his body it’s hard to take his advice because he looks not healthy. Lots of test and lots of meat that’s the program.
1. Arthur Jones solved the variable resistance issue in the 1970s with Nautilus machines. Medx, the current version of the company, has decades of research behind it and is now run by Dorian Yates himself. Dr Lyon is involved with this endeavor 2. See Bill de Simone’s books, such as Joint Friendly Fitness. Jaquish is very confused on the difference between mechanical leverage and the strength curve of a muscle. 3. According to the sliding filament model, which all physiologists accept, hypertrophy has nothing to do with the range of motion being exercised. Isometrics work just as well, in any position. 4. He is correct on the one set to failure concept. See Jones, Mentzer, Yates, et al. 5. Read up on myokines. They promote bone growth with normal weights, many times bodyweight are not needed.
Well said and my thoughts exactly! I’ve been devouring anything from ArthurJones and Dr Ellington Darden since the early 80’s. Then actually had several training sessions with Mike Mentzer in the mid 90’s. Jaguish is just recycling old already established principles and taking credit without giving them back even as his influences.
@@vikingdaytrip4447 not exactly Arthur Jones dis really push the idea and study variable resistance but his strength curve estimates were off, Dr J was able to see true strength curves when people used the bone density devices in a study, so yes I love Jones but his calculations were a bit off with regards to strength curve
In my opinion, Dr. John Jaquish is wrong, lifting weights is not a wast of time. However there are people in the "history of physical culture", that got in great shape with a set of 5 pound dumbbells and a good chest pull. And the right diet for them. I think the legendary George Hackensmit would not agree. Who's theory is to lift weights in "progression". Thank you Dr. John Jaquish for showing what you don't know!
I’m definitely sold on the product (albeit massively overpriced ! ) but I don’t like the way he has to insult so many gym going groups, not a good quality.
I love Dr. Lyon, consistently great content. However, it would be beneficial to invite another reputable expert, such as Dr. Gil Carvalho MD PHD, to fact-check the statements made by this guest or have another to give the other side. John has made many sweeping statements in this short interview they need to be backed up. I realize we all have bias, but this interview was on another level.
Lol. You got to be kidding me? Dr. Gil is a joke. The guy is a child academically. I went through all his research and he's been studying banan flies and some rodents and believe he can draw any conclusions on that on the human body. C'mon!
@@MoSec9 I'm have a Masters in Economcis. With that I've studie math and statistics. Thus, I can read and understand what I am reading. You can not. The whole nutrition science field is a joke. Not only are falty conclusions made on highly questionable gathering of data, but they are also wrong based on sample size, errors etc. Now, go back to school, boy!
One set to fatigue offers great results. P.D. Mangan uses the same technique. Dr. John is correct regarding injuries to ligaments and joints. I tore a ligament in my shoulder when I was young and it didn't catch up to me until much later. I think most young people are lifting too heavy for their ligaments. If you are going to lift heavy, make sure to strengthen your surrounding ligaments also. Sleep is also important for muscle growth.💚🤙
I completely agree. I used to be a runner and used to lift a lot of equipment at work. Now my body is destroyed. I had to have shoulder surgery and I have so many joint pain issues to my body now and I spent hours lifting weights and running back then. I would run 8 miles a day on the weekend and ran on the treadmill during the week. I overdid it to my body severely. I’m almost 50 now and trying to fix all the damage, or at least help slow it down.
All good! I would just add, though, that "lifting heavy" is different with bands than with weights. The initial part of the lift, the weakest point, is where the damage can most often occur and that's where that lift is "too heavy" & you can tear ligaments. With bands, you start easier at the weak point, increasing to the max strength point. It's much harder to overload, because you simply won't be able to reach full extension. I'm sure you can damage yourself if you work at it with bands, but it's much safer, as long as you're sticking with good form. And there's less tendency to to lose good form near failure, because you're just reaching less extension (or contraction, for pulling exercises), not sacrificing form to get one more rep. You're not throwing weights around. It's smooth.
@@peachhipgirl75 Yep! The quantum leap in value for bands has been the latest generation of bands, X3 and a few others, with well-graded sizes from light to really heavy and the improved materials quality. And the X3 base plate & bar are very high quality and allow you to do exercises that you can't do well without the base plate, in particular. Especially squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses. You don't want to use a heavy band held down by your feet; you could screw up your feet. And the bar keeps your hands safe. I tried several systems and the solid bar and base plate allow me to do a complete max resistance workout without injury.
Noticed this channel recently, after seeing several interesting interviews. Was glad to see another science based channel. Then sow some dubious person on channel (+ clickbait vid title with ppl saying nothing practical for 1.5 hrs), but ughm, ok... And now this dude... For me there are so much red flags for this "Phd": antivaxxer, fake PhD, steroid user (while claiming getting result due to variable resistance training), etc... But even those aside - extraordinary claims requires extraordinary proofs. Have checked only a few of them, but none of them support his claim that training with bands stimulates 3x muscle grows as resistance training... "Resistance training is waste of time! Fruits are bad! Cardio eats muscle!", etc. "Better buy my overpriced bands and carbohydrate glycemic index reducers!" What a bs... Ofc too much of fruits are bad. But it then should be really "too" much. Exceeding your calories restriction limits. As would be fats and proteins... Ofc cardio "eats" muscle, but again if you do tons of cardio and skip resistance training. 30mins of cardio will not kill your muscle... Aaaaand resistance training... "only genetic outliers see results in gym".... Yeah, seems any gym I went full of genetic outliers... Ok, it is anecdotal evidence. But tons of research on profit of resistance training for muscle grows? - "Researchers filter out participant so only outliers are left"... Even thousands of researches on untrained men? Seems like conspiracy. Variable resistance training isn't bad, on the contrary, it is pretty useful, but not another magic bullet. It has its own advantages&disadvantages. But seems claim that it will gives better results by doing only 10mins of exercise than hrs of resistance training far from being proven (hope I'am wrong - who wouldn't like to spend much less time to get greater results?). And variable r training wasn't invented by this guy, only his overpriced brand of bands... "I don't insult ppl personally" - yeah only by groups... "Nobody questions u like u question urself - No, nobody, nobody could come even close - .. You are pretty humble - When ppl call me a genius"… Some fast googling on this guy and his product: outlift.com/x3-bar-review/ ua-cam.com/video/3tQvUOp9dzQ/v-deo.htmlsi=FTC-KRwMFGFnnSCH ua-cam.com/video/2CYQpy0-xFA/v-deo.html& Ok, I do understand if you give a place to show another point of view, but at least ask them uncomfortable questions, argue with them, not just "You are so right", " Defintly so", "Ugh yeap". Only once went against guest's point of view on "fruits are bad" thesis... My thought: it is ok to give a platform to argue, find truth, ask questions, but not ok to give a platform to another seems to be charlatan (for me) person to indirectly advertise his product by doing unproven claims. Successful, but still charlatan...
Writing a book called "Weightlifting is a Complete Waste Of Time" is a click bait title that opens up a very large can of worms. So, apparently what he is saying is that the Champion's like Sandow, Charles Atlas, Vince Gironda, Dave Draper, Steve Reeves, John Grimick, Frank Zane, Bill Pearl, Brad Harris, Gordon Scott, and quite a few other's wasted their time in the weight room? And would have made their strength and fitness goals, including for some, bodybuilding contests and titles, using rubber bands? That is laughable. And besides how laughable it is, the claim that "weightlifting is a complete waste of time" HE HAS NEVER PROVED THAT! And the claim runs against a whole history of bodybuilding and physician culture. Oh, and by the way, the people I mentioned were not on TRT.
We can all take his example of critical thinking in our daily lives. Definitely thought provoking. I’d like to try his approach to find out for myself if it would work for me, since I respect Dr. Lyons. I mean, who doesn’t want to do more in less time with weight training? Just as an aside- yes, some organized religion -I agree it dictates crazy behavior! Great guest
I've had it for years. It works for what I need it. Not for developing a champion BB juiced-up physic but for staying muscle-centric through convenience to maintain consistency is great. I have friends who believe it is the best system they have ever used. We have been Personal Trainers for over 15 years.
So, let me see, he writes a provocative book, tells us were all doing it wrong, he knows better, and oh by the way, he is selling the product and supplements that will fix all our errors and we are all a bunch of sheep. Just another liver king. I work out in 2 gyms and an overwhelming majority of the people I see in the gym are very healthy, strong and have great physiques. Its really simple, resistance train and aerobic train daily, eat healthy non-processed foods, avoid bad habits and negative people, sleep and challenge yourself to always do a little more over time. BTW; Dr. Jaquish has a belly hanging over his belt and no hair - hardly an example of optimum health.
That's what I was thinking😂. I had to rewind to make sure I heard that right 7%?. Looks more like 27 or 37%. What a joke. Surprised and disappointed with Dr Lyons on this one.
@@ty-lim Actually, as Greg Doucette is 9% I’d say this guy is around 12%. He also has done two podcasts with Dr Anthony Chaffee. Both on UA-cam. It’s embarrassing how these two physicians allow him to tell LIES for over 90 minutes and say stuff that flies in the face of everything we know scientifically about how to build muscle. He’s the equivalent of a flat-earther imagine someone like that talking about the ‘proofs’ that the earth is not round to a physicist and not being challenged or corrected. If you notice he’s very vague and very generic when he talks about science and why weightlifting is a waste of time. He also tries to be funny and use humour as a distraction tool! He also received his ‘doctorate’ from Rushmore University which is a non-accredited institution! Google it! So he plays on his title as a ‘dr’. Lol! He’s so cringe and he repeats the same several set of vague statistics on each podcast including Escape Fitness that have also done two interviews with him! Both on UA-cam. He’s a complete con-artist that talks total rubbish and just tells lies.
Anybody who comes on a podcast like this and generalizes the way he does to trash people as being lemmings, sheep.. people who can't think for themselves- who just follow along and 'do what they're told' ummm... very not cool 😑 AND he generalizes about others - puts them into categories, then ridicules 'the masses.' About Dr. Attia.. thinking like this guy about weight lifting, unh, uh (not true, imo) - he supposedly 'quoted' something Dr.A said, but my bet would he cherry picked that comment & left out certain parts. So, imo, he took that comment out of context to make it seem like Attia's comment aligned with HIS thinking. Nah😅 He's wrong about cortisol- it doesn't 'rise as we get out of bed' it's ALREADY elevated and is what wakes us up in the a.m.!
The tooth brush analogy isn’t the best. There are multiple tools to clean teeth (Waterpik, electric toothbrush, etc). Same goes for diet. There are multiple approaches to health through nutrition. I wont say he’s wrong because everyone is different. Listen to Dr Mercola, Ben Greenfield, Giorgi Dinkov (Ray Peat) and certainly Dr Lyons. Animal based is probably best but that includes a wide variety of foods. When it comes to X3, it’s a great tool. However, I’ve never seen a bodybuilder train exclusively with this tool. Athletes who train for a specific sport also need a much wider variety of training methods.
Yes there are a variety of ways to brush teeth, but you don't swap between them for the sake of having variety, do you? People tend to find the one that suits them and then use it. That's what he meant.
Ever see what happens when the cheap bars break under the high levels of tension the X3 bands can provide? No thanks. The X3 bar and bands are high quality plus cheaper than a gym membership. 😊
The steroids are a confounder, as is weight training. I always share my HRT data with people because it has relevance. I'd like to know John's HRT dosages.
Got their heads so far up there own butts it's not funny. They criticise other influencers for being know it all's when they are the king and queen of that. Supposedly cutting edge nutrition and exercise information but not one mention of the microbiome in the entire podcast. Lots of excellent information and yeah, I'm going to check out x3 so there's that
"Millions of people are Getting Results the Wrong Way!" everyone needs a gimmick... e.g. king of the bio hacks, Dave Asprey -- "5 mins of exercise is better than 1 hour!"
He has his Ph.D. from Rushmore University which is NOT accredited. If you really believe that weights don’t make you bigger and stronger go and ask any doctor or anyone at the gym that has more muscle than anyone else and ask them how they got big. Answer: They lifted weights.
I’ve worked with assholes like this. He envisions himself as the smartest man in every room and is so insecure he needs to constantly put others down to try to prove his point. He fails to mention he secret sauce - Test & HGH. Obviously smokes a bit too much weed or other as well. I understand why Dr Lyons posted this shit interview tho - it’s the train wreck you can’t look away
Is he talking about Paul Saladino? Because according to his CAC results and other tests he doesn't seem to have sticky arteries. So maybe it's not the fruit but instead other carbs or seed oils that's causing the sticky clogging problem. Dr Saladino is eating lots of fruit with his animal based diet. Thoughts?
My thoughts exactly. I've been following Paul Saladino's nutrition advise for 6 months now and have never felt better. And Paul has tons of research to back it up.
CAC is not the end all be all like it completely misses' soft plaqueonly shws stabilized plaque which is actually good the unstabalized soft plaque is dangerous on wont find it on a CAC
Paul is consistently over activating the Randle cycle. Cut the fruit make sure you get enough protein to get a little bump in your insulin. And don’t over eat liver and guess what you will be healthy and not causing unnecessary inflammation
Gracias for a very honest and humble conversation. I will add as support about nutrition claims related to carbohydrate consumption to look up the work of Dr. Chris Palmer Psychietrist from Harvard's McLean Hospital .
interesting though i cant afford the X 3 so i am going to just start with strong resistance bands to do triceps and biceps ad see if that grows much quicker than the other muscle groups.
Look at all you folks here actually believing in what he’s saying. He’s asking you a promise that doesn’t exist and doesn’t work- getting the results without putting in actual real work. The reason why most of you will never get the body you want is because you will skip out on time tested methods for getting stronger and fitter. But don’t listen to me. Please buy his product and reject traditional advice!
Us who are women 68 +, who have been lifting weights for strength and osteoporosis, where do we find Osteo Strong? Mine is getting worse with constant exercise! Is this a home device we could buy to use or only the X3 is a home product! Please help!
OsteoStrong is a franchise and you must go to the location to use it the equipment. The x3 is the minimal home equipment for building strength and muscle and is therefore also good for bones. OsteoStrong will probably give better and faster results.
One of the best things to actually help with osteoporosis is vitamin D 10,000 IU per day along with vitamin K2( best super K from life extension- can be purchased on amazon ) doctors often prescribe biphosphonates which at best only preserve bone density but do not increase bone density. Studies have shown up to 6% bone density increase per year .I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my early 40’s despite running 5-10 miles daily due to a genetic mutation. Now at 64 my bone density is up ovet 55%.
This is my least favorite podcast. He talks too negatively about others and the “my way is better” vibe (or maybe just the delivery) is such a turn off. X3 does look great & may consider it in the future.
Yea I’ll agree that dr John is a bit abrasive but I’m sure when you go against conventional training that’s been praised for decades you become that way. I will say that you should get the X.3. It is a great device and it does exactly what is promised as long as you follow the program to a T as of right now I am a early adopter of a new product by Dr. John called the X3 force bar , it’s a smart bar that calculates the force you generate for each exercise and every time you work out you need to beat your previous force. It’s an amazing device and it just makes the X.3 program that much more exciting! It should be released late this summer or this fall
Definitely changed by opinion of Dr Lyon with her admiration of this guy & her opinion of him a "humble" , while he is a classic narcissist and constantly insulting the very 'lemmings' he is using - both of them of using - to create their wealth. And from Lyon's comment implying success was "lots of money and a beautiful wife"; no shock this podcast was one long infomercial, interspersed with the short infomercial ads. This is marketing, not health advice.
She has said in many of her videos that as long as you have protein in check and within calorie range you can do what you like with carbs or fats. She doesn't say one way or another...up to you
Oh boy, someone really dropped the ball on vetting this guy! I’ll admit he’s a genius at marketing, but his “medical credentials” are from a well-known diploma mill…it gets shadier from there. His theories on bodybuilding are hilarious…Wow! He really should have Dr. Lyon (a legit doctor) check out that annoying cough; he had it a full month ago.
He has over 30 patents to his name and has developed a device to prevent osteoporosis that is used all over the world. It’s not the degree, it’s what you do with the knowledge gained.
You see a guy built like a brick s**t H****e , invented a game changing medical device,, develops a game changing workout system based on science and you want to delegitimize him based on his degree. How about checking your presuppositions that one must attend a Harvard or Stanford be have any value to society, I think I will pay attention to what he does, says and produces. Just a thought. Note his billionaire partner in business is Tony Robbins, that graduated from High School and went on to be a thought leader for Presidents. Again, just thinking.
He probably has hypertension and is on an ACE inhibitor.... I know you must be thinking I am nuts, because, ya know, he's been lifting with rubber bands......😂
There is an interesting phenomena with people who lift weights but do not put on muscle and that is they are not tensing the muscle as they perform the rep. This creates less growth and less mind muscle connection.
a shame you're giving this scammer a bigger audience, shilling his overpriced rubber bands and his mail order degree mill nonsense isn't something I'd expected to see here
It sounds expensive for those of us with osteoporosis on a budget won't be able to use it if it's legit,, strength training jumping walking nutrient-dense diet is the best we can do
@@joshuarogalski3540 Some people don’t realize that if they make false allegations against a product or someone’s character without material facts then it’s libel and slander. I personally haven’t used the product but I would never allege something that isn’t factual about someone else. How long have you used the product? I was thinking about this product because there are numerous people who use the gym who injure themselves.
When he said "bodybuilders have a red puffy face" I laughed so much. That's exactly what I thought about his face
Yeah, steroid flush.
That’s the Tren Tan
He says he is on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, but he says on normal levels of test. Says he needed it after a rugby injury caused trauma to one of his testicles, and that he is at normal levels with TRT. Firstly I'm sceptical of what he says. Secondly, how the hell does he know what would be normal for him unless he had a blood test when he was at normal levels pre-injury? There's a HUGE range to normal here. Thirdly, so many UA-cam fitness influencers who are on TRT are definitely on the highest they can get prescribed because they want to get jacked. However they they keep an eye on their diet and workout properly. Unlike this guy. Anyone that wants to buy him a new Lamborghini should buy his $500 stretch bands and metal stick and plate. Everyone else can save some money.
@@BiomechanicalGorilla it said he sits at 1200 thats not normal for his age or if it is it's like 1%
How bout it
I am 61 and I look younger than John Jaquish. I lift weights, do CrossFit, run ultra marathons and do Spartan races. I really didn't like his age comment about being 46. I would have not problem on taking him on in any sport and hand his ass on a platter. My joints are perfectly fine, in fact in my estimation humans are built to run, primal humans had to run down their food, and in some parts of the world humans still run down an animal until exhaustion, we cannot run faster but we can run longer. He talks about body builders with round faces, well has he looked in the mirror lately. He talks about isolated movements such as bench press and shoulder press, and triceps extensions, where exactly in life do you apply those movements? The human body is made to work on multi joint movements, so why not train your body the same way. I would put money on it that my fitness regime is better than his and when I'm 70 I can still hand his ass on a platter.
we walked down are food followed prey until they gave up, no real running except sprinting which is our og , but no multi miles of constant running thats dumb would not be needed we wouldn't waste the energy
Sooo many people get injured from doing CrossFit. I have heard about the dangers for years. But, I also have a friend who's done it for over 10 years and loves it, so I guess we're all different.
FYI this guy got his “PHD” from a distance learning facility. “Rushmore University”. He does not understand muscle physiology, modern hypertrophy science (ROM, volume, intensity)
Latest research shows it’s possible “lengthened partial repetitions” are comparable to full range of motion repetitions…. This fellow thinks loading the end or shortened range of motion more is the key to building strength and muscle . He’s 100% proven incorrect.
He doesn’t even sound intelligent or like he knows anything at all. I get a real snake oil salesman vibe from him immediately. Then, the more he talks, the more I realize my instincts are spot on.
That explains alot
Should of asked him about his TRT program ...
Definitely looks like a guy on trt.
@@marcosdoliva and sits at 1200 talked about it on another podcast for his age doesn't sound normal
I watched a bloke on UA-cam using his X3 put a workout on every time he trained I think he did it for a good while and never looked like him so it goes to show he's taking all sorts of shit.
Wow nice guest! Not a narcissistic person at all! Now everyone wants to buy his bands! X3 bands should be in the Olympics! He eats once a day, doesn't take testosterone, and never touches weights? I like how he tells stories about him on how cool he is instead of actual real body science!
There comes a point when yet another interview with a person with a view which contradicts people's actual experience with resistance training is one interview too many.This guy is just nuts - I'm sorry - but most of what he saying is nonsense and my own experiences as a 65 year old contradicts everything he's saying.Why Gabrielle invited this guy on given that she MUST have known his views during the research stage of her podcast preparation is beyond me. I'm not saying live forever in a bubble and ignore certain views. I'm saying you have a responsibility to your community of followers to present views and opinions and advice which match your own experiences as a Doctor and advisor - especially to the older segments of the population. This health space is becoming way too crowded for my liking and I'm not surprised people are turning off after being confused and overwhelmed with the wildly contradictory views of a litany so-called experts doing the rounds on YT. Enough already. Stick to the KISS principle - keep it simple. Your job is to bring the essentials to those who need it - not talk to people who basically contradict everything you have worked hard to interpret and filter for the rest of us struggling to make sense of it all.
I wasted four months of training using the X3. I was not impressed with my results. My arms appeared smaller and I wasn't happy with how I was looking. When I went back to lifting weights I had demonstrably lost strength across the board.
I stuck it out for just over four months because I wanted to give the system a legitimate test run to see if it could live up the marketing claims. I hoped that it would, but for me it ultimately didn't. I eventually threw in the towel on the X3 and and went back to lifting weights. I probably got better results in one month of weight training than in the previous 3+ months that I had committed to the X3 so in a way they got the "3x better" part sort of correct only in reverse as I’ve personally found that my weight training results were 3x better than they were when using the X3.
The X3 has been out for 4 years now. If it legitimately built muscle 3x faster than weight training as claimed then we should be seeing countless examples of guys who put on 50lbs.+ of solid muscle over that time (as Jaquish claims to have done) and yet we clearly haven't seen that.
Agreed, and same here. I was/am am an advanced lifter and used it during covid as a means to supplement the gym. I found the workout itself was great and the gains were solid. After a little while (perhaps 4-5 months), the gains stopped. I do think it could serve value in a pinch and/or for those who are more casual with lifting, but it wasn't it for me
@@gregz1235 I could see the X3 being of value to someone who travels a lot or who has limited time and space. A beginner will probably find the abbreviated program and limited time investment appealing.
I'm also not a novice to exercise and my diet and never been cleaner. I followed the X3 workout to the letter. I wanted it to work as advertised (who wouldn't want to gain muscle 3x more efficiently?). It simply isn't better than lifting weights and no way is it 3x better as claimed.
Hmmm. I'm a bit confused. In a recent podcast menopausal women were encouraged to lift heavy shit. Would this be considered heavy shit? I love lifting heavy. It gives me a real boost. I would really like to hear Dr. Lyon's honest opinion on this matter. I love her muscle centric approach and her stand on nutrition. However this podcast left me confused.
The x3 band workout is a heavy workout and great for post menopausal women to build muscle without injury and soreness. It’s a tough workout for sure, but only takes about 20 minutes, so it’s hard to find an excuse not to do it.
This guy is a quack. Keep lifting heavy, as I will do.
No, "heavy s***" is selling stationary but actually pretending to sell something illegal. I learned this from watching Crocodile Dundee. 😜
I wish he didn’t talk so negatively about everyone else not using his methodology. We understand that you are the smartest guy in the room when it comes to mechanical tension and all of this extra fluff. You don’t have to constantly say how dumb we are for doing it away that we have learned is relatively effective. Maybe not as affective, but still yields results.
I have the same vibe and it was a huge turn off that I didn’t finish the podcast (the first).
Yes, and he sounds like he has a chesty cough, could be COVID... 😊
@@AlastrionaS Hi Austin, yes I know. I was being facetious because he was coming across (to me) as being rather arrogant and he was knocking the COVID vaccination (in that he didn't have one). Thank you for caring to try and put me right. Have a lovely day wherever you are.
right on, bro. dude's a douchebag.
@@manangcheryl yeah it was tough to sit through. I appreciate Dr Lyon enough to endure. It was still very informative despite his hubris.
Dr Lyon has a lot of grace when she does interviews. I find his appearance and cough concerning. If you are so healthy why are you coughing every time you talk. I’ve tried every training style every eating style. I find at 64 a mix of heavy weights stretches band work and some cardio as well as occasional busts of intensity has been the best for my health. I eat clean. No seed oils, no highly processed foods, no nitrates. Meat eggs cheese cream fruits a little sourdough some peanut butter veggies. and honey. Mostly organic when available. I think balance is important.
Came across the book putzin around the library after major tweaking a shoulder doing dumbbell incline bench. Two plus months with variable resistance on X3 has been a game changer on my exercise approach.
My favorite quote "I don’t attack anyone" after calling countless people and groups "dumb". Funniest quote, her calling him "so humble". 😂😂😂😂
😄I'd definitely find his health advice more convincing if he wasn't perpetually struggling to clear his throat. Antivaxxers have a remarkable tendency of getting Covid a lot!
@conciseconyenttv - yah totally agree.👍
...oh, the irony🤣
The dullest people in the world are the ones who think the discovery of hypocrisy (real or not) is four-emojis hilarious. Can we have a look at your arms, please?
@waldenmathews8059 what a contribution. You must be proud of your "exciting" life commenting all over the internet to complete strangers with absolutely no point. Bravo.
Seriously, his arrogance is so off putting.
Soloflex started variable resistance in the 80's. It was marketed as a home workout system for decades. Also, people have been adding bands to barbells for many years as well. It's not a new concept.
He would make a great car salesperson. Seems like one giant advertisement
Hello - he IS a car salesmen, they both are. This is one long info-mercial and a classic example of marketing propaganda. Along with the shorter inserted info-mercials, all showing young, buff tatooed people so happy while ingested on the products Dr. Lyon endorses. I'm not sure most in the comments realize they are being played.
Dr Lyon does such an amazing job at exuding knowledge while staying humble and grounded. Can’t say the same for some of her guest.
736 CDN for the bar, a plastic platform, 3 bands ... What a joke.
Platform is metal.
I'm normally not skeptical, but is that a "Tren" cough? Dr. Lynon's limited engagement in the conversation, makes me wonder if she had similar thoughts. Regardless, I think Dr. Jaquish has some good points. Excessive sets seem counter productive. It may be a good investment of time to look into variable resistance training.
As a Over the Road truck driver I do not get the chance to do a lot of exercise. I purchased the X3 about a year ago and can do all the exercises in my truck without any problems. I take it everywhere doing it 4 days a week. At 62 years old I’m much stronger and better off using the X3. So this just works if you use it and follow the program as it is presented.
Huh... this is everything against what Dr. Lyon preaches on weight lifting... but interesting to listen to. But still feel people need to lift heavy for muscle health or lift till muscles are fatigued (even light weights).
From what I was understanding on this interview, what he promotes still involves fatigue to the muscles. He has just found a way to circumvent all the extra training that doesn’t do anything to help. Please, correct me if I am wrong.
600 pound at the top of a bench press sounds heavy
He's saying that lifting heavy puts pressure on the joints, because the weight you need to grow muscle at the top of a movement is too much for you at the bottom.
Variable resistance using bands, where the weight is light at the bottom where you are weakest but heavy at full extension, is the best way to lift without risking injury.
As a Dr. yourself I'm astonished you would acknowledge his "PhD" on the thumbnail, considering it's from Rushmore, a non-accredited degree mill.
Nevertheless, he seems to have learned a lot more and also does a lot more than most PhDs. You may be one of them.
Is this guy for real? He gained 30 pounds of muscle in 12 months without lifting weights? Come on man.
I’ve tried so many diet protocols, training styles, strength coaches, powerlifting etc. and nothing got me in shape as fast or as good as X3 truthfully. People need to stop bashing what they haven’t tried
This one was really difficult to listen to! As a 62 year old endurance athlete who trains with a performance goal, I am still running, not broken, not skinny and I love eating carbs, including fruit. I am willing to takeaway some bits of into to improve my strength routine going forward but, hearing athletes with a strength training focus paint all of us cardio athletes with the same brush is a little tiring. We're not all the same, there are variances in results, physiques and diets. "You don't know what you don't know". Goes both ways.
Agreed.
People are variable and will see different results with different diets.
I prefer low carb. Not zero carb but low carb getting almost all of my carbs from fresh Vega, nuts and fruit.
People that treat how they eat like a religion are irritating no matter where they are coming from.
Carbs are trash
Dr. Sean Omara
If they have pain in their shoulder from bench pressing, then their form isn't correct.
I've done Isometrics all my life,... I'm still muscular at 70 yrs old without being extreme, unlike like body builders who I know are using steroids.... Being on a very low carb diet, eating protein and fats definitely helps...
You really have to appreciate that, the man compares himself to a cobbler and then the very next sentence makes a comment about his Lamborghini.
Good food for thought! Resistance bands have been a powerful part of my strength routine, similar to his x3.
Wow… speechless. Did he really try to say the pec attaches to the distal end of the humerus?!?! This guy is a joke. 😂
Mike Mentzer was saying this in the 70s
Dr Lyon, you need to get Dr Anthony Chaffee on your podcast. He is a Carnivore Neurosurgeon, and he has had many videos with Dr.Shawn Baker and Dr Jaquish
ILL BET THIS GUY IN SECRET PUMPS IRON ALSO WHY DONT THEY SHOW HIS AMAZING MACHINE? THEY DESCRIBE IT BUT WONT SHOW IT. AS FAR AS LONGEVITY IVE SEEN LOTS OF INTERVIEWS WITH CENTENARIANS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE BULKY MUSCLES AND ONLY EAT MEAT, NOT ONE.
Double chin and baby arms is one of the greatest insults ever lol
He's literally selling us Nautilus and calling it X3.
He said most of the narrative is wrong. So, why is his correct????? Oh, right. Because he says so.
No offense but the argument made here about tendons and 'outliers' have so many flaws i just have to question them. First issue: if someone's tendon were attached at the end of the humerus instead of the beginning, they would have to apply significantly less torque and muscular force to move the same amount of weight, so there muscle would actually be smaller not larger. Second issue: he claims the tendon takes a greater share of the resistance in these people but even if that were true, then once again the muscle is not working that hard and shouldn't be growing as a result. third problem with the tendons is he fails to mention that muscles are far more elastic than tendons. Tendons are the rope muscles pull on and its the muscle that is working majority of elasticity. The more elastic the tendon, the less force you can produce, not the other way around.
As if this weren't bad enough he starts talking about genetic outliers in the NFL and the fact that they build muscle much faster than your average person. But apparently this doctor has turned a blind eye to the rampant steroid, hgh, and performance enhancer use in both professional and college level sports. You can't compare them to the average lifter unless you also give average lifter the same steroids and growth hormones. Before these pharmaceuticals came out, notice how no single person looked like these "genetic outliers". So either genetic outliers somehow only exist nowdays, or the real thing outlying here is their use of pharmaceutical testosterones.
Why are the most muscular guys in the world training their butts off with weights? Because lifting gave them massive progress. Man there are so many issues with this i have to conclude this is snake oil
I love Dr. Jaquish. A straight shooter who isn't afraid to tell you how it is and always questioning everything. Truly a great guy
@@MoSec9 Opinion and knowledge aren’t the same if you look at the etymology of the words. Clearly this man is knowledgeable in his field and stating facts not opinions.
clearly, bro. the guverment is against meat cuz automation is eliminating menial labor and dumb people are too stupid to learn. facts!
He gives his view on things. That’s fair play. All the pearl clutchers wanting fact checkers (who are they and employed by whom?) in the comment section are a perfect example of what’s wrong with a society that has divorced itself from critical thinking.
BS artist for sure... why give him an audience? Weightlifting sucks if you don't know enough variations that adapt to different types 😵💫
I will say that I have used both bands and waits in the past. I personally find more growth with weights but I find that burning much quicker with the bands. I like using a combination
All these tools have their places, but individuals are different and have different needs.
I feel bad for saying, but between his complexion and his body it’s hard to take his advice because he looks not healthy. Lots of test and lots of meat that’s the program.
Very interesting! What I like most about it is his overall critical mindset and (acurate) societal observations 👍❤️
What is the thing he is doing with Anthony Robbins. I cant find his osteo strong product. Confusing interview.
1. Arthur Jones solved the variable resistance issue in the 1970s with Nautilus machines. Medx, the current version of the company, has decades of research behind it and is now run by Dorian Yates himself. Dr Lyon is involved with this endeavor
2. See Bill de Simone’s books, such as Joint Friendly Fitness. Jaquish is very confused on the difference between mechanical leverage and the strength curve of a muscle.
3. According to the sliding filament model, which all physiologists accept, hypertrophy has nothing to do with the range of motion being exercised. Isometrics work just as well, in any position.
4. He is correct on the one set to failure concept. See Jones, Mentzer, Yates, et al.
5. Read up on myokines. They promote bone growth with normal weights, many times bodyweight are not needed.
Well said and my thoughts exactly! I’ve been devouring anything from ArthurJones and Dr Ellington Darden since the early 80’s. Then actually had several training sessions with Mike Mentzer in the mid 90’s. Jaguish is just recycling old already established principles and taking credit without giving them back even as his influences.
@@vikingdaytrip4447 not exactly Arthur Jones dis really push the idea and study variable resistance but his strength curve estimates were off, Dr J was able to see true strength curves when people used the bone density devices in a study, so yes I love Jones but his calculations were a bit off with regards to strength curve
In my opinion, Dr. John Jaquish is wrong, lifting weights is not a wast of time. However there are people in the "history of physical culture", that got in great shape with a set of 5 pound dumbbells and a good chest pull. And the right diet for them. I think the legendary George Hackensmit would not agree. Who's theory is to lift weights in "progression". Thank you Dr. John Jaquish for showing what you don't know!
Compared to variable resistance it is.
@@cynicist8114 Your opinion and I do not buy into your opinion.
@@glennbishopbishthemagish No I'm referring to scientific studies. You may not buy into those either, but that's fine.
I’m 3minutes in & love the way this guy speaks
Awesome podcast❤
I’m definitely sold on the product (albeit massively overpriced ! ) but I don’t like the way he has to insult so many gym going groups, not a good quality.
The fact that you did not take the poisonous jab shows that you are on the right side of history, hats off to you, and keep up your great work.
lmao you and this snakeoil salesman should be so proud.
I love Dr. Lyon, consistently great content. However, it would be beneficial to invite another reputable expert, such as Dr. Gil Carvalho MD PHD, to fact-check the statements made by this guest or have another to give the other side. John has made many sweeping statements in this short interview they need to be backed up. I realize we all have bias, but this interview was on another level.
Lol. You got to be kidding me? Dr. Gil is a joke. The guy is a child academically. I went through all his research and he's been studying banan flies and some rodents and believe he can draw any conclusions on that on the human body. C'mon!
@@MoSec9 I'm have a Masters in Economcis. With that I've studie math and statistics. Thus, I can read and understand what I am reading. You can not. The whole nutrition science field is a joke. Not only are falty conclusions made on highly questionable gathering of data, but they are also wrong based on sample size, errors etc.
Now, go back to school, boy!
@@MoSec9 His PHD ad MD are fake dude, from an "online university".
This guy just say a senior was repping 575 bench for reps ...wtf
Hoping I can even get one of his band systems on sale. Pricey. But I do mostly body weight exercises that works pretty well.
One set to fatigue offers great results. P.D. Mangan uses the same technique. Dr. John is correct regarding injuries to ligaments and joints. I tore a ligament in my shoulder when I was young and it didn't catch up to me until much later. I think most young people are lifting too heavy for their ligaments. If you are going to lift heavy, make sure to strengthen your surrounding ligaments also. Sleep is also important for muscle growth.💚🤙
I completely agree. I used to be a runner and used to lift a lot of equipment at work. Now my body is destroyed. I had to have shoulder surgery and I have so many joint pain issues to my body now and I spent hours lifting weights and running back then. I would run 8 miles a day on the weekend and ran on the treadmill during the week. I overdid it to my body severely. I’m almost 50 now and trying to fix all the damage, or at least help slow it down.
All good! I would just add, though, that "lifting heavy" is different with bands than with weights. The initial part of the lift, the weakest point, is where the damage can most often occur and that's where that lift is "too heavy" & you can tear ligaments. With bands, you start easier at the weak point, increasing to the max strength point. It's much harder to overload, because you simply won't be able to reach full extension. I'm sure you can damage yourself if you work at it with bands, but it's much safer, as long as you're sticking with good form. And there's less tendency to to lose good form near failure, because you're just reaching less extension (or contraction, for pulling exercises), not sacrificing form to get one more rep. You're not throwing weights around. It's smooth.
@@alan2a1l agreed! I have been using bands for a little while now! Game changer!
@@peachhipgirl75 Yep! The quantum leap in value for bands has been the latest generation of bands, X3 and a few others, with well-graded sizes from light to really heavy and the improved materials quality.
And the X3 base plate & bar are very high quality and allow you to do exercises that you can't do well without the base plate, in particular. Especially squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses. You don't want to use a heavy band held down by your feet; you could screw up your feet. And the bar keeps your hands safe. I tried several systems and the solid bar and base plate allow me to do a complete max resistance workout without injury.
That is point of strength training after all. To strengthen tendons and ligaments along with muscles.
Noticed this channel recently, after seeing several interesting interviews. Was glad to see another science based channel. Then sow some dubious person on channel (+ clickbait vid title with ppl saying nothing practical for 1.5 hrs), but ughm, ok... And now this dude...
For me there are so much red flags for this "Phd": antivaxxer, fake PhD, steroid user (while claiming getting result due to variable resistance training), etc... But even those aside - extraordinary claims requires extraordinary proofs. Have checked only a few of them, but none of them support his claim that training with bands stimulates 3x muscle grows as resistance training...
"Resistance training is waste of time! Fruits are bad! Cardio eats muscle!", etc. "Better buy my overpriced bands and carbohydrate glycemic index reducers!" What a bs... Ofc too much of fruits are bad. But it then should be really "too" much. Exceeding your calories restriction limits. As would be fats and proteins... Ofc cardio "eats" muscle, but again if you do tons of cardio and skip resistance training. 30mins of cardio will not kill your muscle...
Aaaaand resistance training... "only genetic outliers see results in gym".... Yeah, seems any gym I went full of genetic outliers... Ok, it is anecdotal evidence. But tons of research on profit of resistance training for muscle grows? - "Researchers filter out participant so only outliers are left"... Even thousands of researches on untrained men? Seems like conspiracy.
Variable resistance training isn't bad, on the contrary, it is pretty useful, but not another magic bullet. It has its own advantages&disadvantages. But seems claim that it will gives better results by doing only 10mins of exercise than hrs of resistance training far from being proven (hope I'am wrong - who wouldn't like to spend much less time to get greater results?). And variable r training wasn't invented by this guy, only his overpriced brand of bands...
"I don't insult ppl personally" - yeah only by groups...
"Nobody questions u like u question urself - No, nobody, nobody could come even close - .. You are pretty humble - When ppl call me a genius"…
Some fast googling on this guy and his product:

Ok, I do understand if you give a place to show another point of view, but at least ask them uncomfortable questions, argue with them, not just "You are so right", " Defintly so", "Ugh yeap". Only once went against guest's point of view on "fruits are bad" thesis...
My thought: it is ok to give a platform to argue, find truth, ask questions, but not ok to give a platform to another seems to be charlatan (for me) person to indirectly advertise his product by doing unproven claims. Successful, but still charlatan...
Writing a book called "Weightlifting is a Complete Waste Of Time" is a click bait title that opens up a very large can of worms. So, apparently what he is saying is that the Champion's like Sandow, Charles Atlas, Vince Gironda, Dave Draper, Steve Reeves, John Grimick, Frank Zane, Bill Pearl, Brad Harris, Gordon Scott, and quite a few other's wasted their time in the weight room? And would have made their strength and fitness goals, including for some, bodybuilding contests and titles, using rubber bands? That is laughable. And besides how laughable it is, the claim that "weightlifting is a complete waste of time" HE HAS NEVER PROVED THAT! And the claim runs against a whole history of bodybuilding and physician culture. Oh, and by the way, the people I mentioned were not on TRT.
This is probably my favorite interview I have seen on this channel! Thank you so much!
We can all take his example of critical thinking in our daily lives. Definitely thought provoking. I’d like to try his approach to find out for myself if it would work for me, since I respect Dr. Lyons. I mean, who doesn’t want to do more in less time with weight training? Just as an aside- yes, some organized religion -I agree it dictates crazy behavior! Great guest
I've had it for years. It works for what I need it. Not for developing a champion BB juiced-up physic but for staying muscle-centric through convenience to maintain consistency is great. I have friends who believe it is the best system they have ever used. We have been Personal Trainers for over 15 years.
Your advice is wrong for ME
So, let me see, he writes a provocative book, tells us were all doing it wrong, he knows better, and oh by the way, he is selling the product and supplements that will fix all our errors and we are all a bunch of sheep. Just another liver king. I work out in 2 gyms and an overwhelming majority of the people I see in the gym are very healthy, strong and have great physiques. Its really simple, resistance train and aerobic train daily, eat healthy non-processed foods, avoid bad habits and negative people, sleep and challenge yourself to always do a little more over time.
BTW; Dr. Jaquish has a belly hanging over his belt and no hair - hardly an example of optimum health.
24:49 “I’m about 7% body fat.” Really?!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I was thinking😂. I had to rewind to make sure I heard that right 7%?. Looks more like 27 or 37%. What a joke. Surprised and disappointed with Dr Lyons on this one.
@@ty-lim Actually, as Greg Doucette is 9% I’d say this guy is around 12%. He also has done two podcasts with Dr Anthony Chaffee. Both on UA-cam. It’s embarrassing how these two physicians allow him to tell LIES for over 90 minutes and say stuff that flies in the face of everything we know scientifically about how to build muscle. He’s the equivalent of a flat-earther imagine someone like that talking about the ‘proofs’ that the earth is not round to a physicist and not being challenged or corrected. If you notice he’s very vague and very generic when he talks about science and why weightlifting is a waste of time. He also tries to be funny and use humour as a distraction tool! He also received his ‘doctorate’ from Rushmore University which is a non-accredited institution! Google it! So he plays on his title as a ‘dr’. Lol! He’s so cringe and he repeats the same several set of vague statistics on each podcast including Escape Fitness that have also done two interviews with him! Both on UA-cam. He’s a complete con-artist that talks total rubbish and just tells lies.
I'm on the carnivore lifestyle myself. Gonna give the X3 a try.
Excellent info I am 67 and motivated to purchase the x3
Bring in Cole Robinson. Please.
If you don't want to look like this guy, don't do what he preaches. Simple!
Who is his better half? Must be a good friend of hers.
Anybody who comes on a podcast like this and generalizes the way he does to trash people as being lemmings, sheep.. people who can't think for themselves- who just follow along and 'do what they're told' ummm...
very not cool 😑
AND he generalizes about others - puts them into categories, then ridicules 'the masses.'
About Dr. Attia.. thinking like this guy about weight lifting, unh, uh (not true, imo) - he supposedly 'quoted' something Dr.A said, but my bet would he cherry picked that comment & left out certain parts.
So, imo, he took that comment out of context to make it seem like Attia's comment aligned with HIS thinking. Nah😅
He's wrong about cortisol- it doesn't 'rise as we get out of bed' it's ALREADY elevated and is what wakes us up in the a.m.!
I am not motivated to purchase the x3
The tooth brush analogy isn’t the best. There are multiple tools to clean teeth (Waterpik, electric toothbrush, etc). Same goes for diet. There are multiple approaches to health through nutrition. I wont say he’s wrong because everyone is different. Listen to Dr Mercola, Ben Greenfield, Giorgi Dinkov (Ray Peat) and certainly Dr Lyons. Animal based is probably best but that includes a wide variety of foods.
When it comes to X3, it’s a great tool. However, I’ve never seen a bodybuilder train exclusively with this tool. Athletes who train for a specific sport also need a much wider variety of training methods.
Yes there are a variety of ways to brush teeth, but you don't swap between them for the sake of having variety, do you? People tend to find the one that suits them and then use it. That's what he meant.
A guy can make that bar system so cheaply, why pay 800. Canadian?
Ever see what happens when the cheap bars break under the high levels of tension the X3 bands can provide? No thanks. The X3 bar and bands are high quality plus cheaper than a gym membership. 😊
He's lean? Doesn't look it to me
The steroids are a confounder, as is weight training. I always share my HRT data with people because it has relevance. I'd like to know John's HRT dosages.
'He acquired his Ph.D. from Rushmore University which is NOT accredited.' Copied and pasted from a comment by some dude. The dude is RIGHT!
I don't see links to the guest's websites.
Their are bigger shirt sizes just FYI
I disagree with just about everything he says !
Got their heads so far up there own butts it's not funny. They criticise other influencers for being know it all's when they are the king and queen of that. Supposedly cutting edge nutrition and exercise information but not one mention of the microbiome in the entire podcast. Lots of excellent information and yeah, I'm going to check out x3 so there's that
God please, do yourself a favor and don’t. Go to the gym man. Work hard.
"Millions of people are Getting Results the Wrong Way!" everyone needs a gimmick... e.g. king of the bio hacks, Dave Asprey -- "5 mins of exercise is better than 1 hour!"
you could mention microbiome but even in 2023 its all guesses and theories we know almost nothing on how it works
He has his Ph.D. from Rushmore University which is NOT accredited.
If you really believe that weights don’t make you bigger and stronger go and ask any doctor or anyone at the gym that has more muscle than anyone else and ask them how they got big.
Answer: They lifted weights.
Another refreshingly honest interview with great information! Awesome guest!!! Another amazing listen Dr Lyon, Thank you!🤗🎉
I’ve worked with assholes like this. He envisions himself as the smartest man in every room and is so insecure he needs to constantly put others down to try to prove his point. He fails to mention he secret sauce - Test & HGH. Obviously smokes a bit too much weed or other as well.
I understand why Dr Lyons posted this shit interview tho - it’s the train wreck you can’t look away
This is an unrelated question to the topic of the talk. Could you please tell me the brand of John's wrist watch?
He’s definitely right about most humans being followers and not leaders. A world full of sheep.
Yeah and he is definetly right about the bug
Hes full of shit too hes following the rest on the juice too give me a break
He's only 46 (!)
You look older than you are.
Is he talking about Paul Saladino? Because according to his CAC results and other tests he doesn't seem to have sticky arteries. So maybe it's not the fruit but instead other carbs or seed oils that's causing the sticky clogging problem. Dr Saladino is eating lots of fruit with his animal based diet. Thoughts?
My thoughts exactly. I've been following Paul Saladino's nutrition advise for 6 months now and have never felt better. And Paul has tons of research to back it up.
CAC is not the end all be all like it completely misses' soft plaqueonly shws stabilized plaque which is actually good the unstabalized soft plaque is dangerous on wont find it on a CAC
Paul is consistently over activating the Randle cycle. Cut the fruit make sure you get enough protein to get a little bump in your insulin. And don’t over eat liver and guess what you will be healthy and not causing unnecessary inflammation
Gracias for a very honest and humble conversation. I will add as support about nutrition claims related to carbohydrate consumption to look up the work of Dr. Chris Palmer Psychietrist from Harvard's McLean Hospital .
interesting though i cant afford the X 3 so i am going to just start with strong resistance bands to do triceps and biceps ad see if that grows much quicker than the other muscle groups.
Goto to sliding bench trainers youtube account, he had put together a x3 alternative for about $100.
She is acting like a school girl with a crush.
Look at all you folks here actually believing in what he’s saying. He’s asking you a promise that doesn’t exist and doesn’t work- getting the results without putting in actual real work. The reason why most of you will never get the body you want is because you will skip out on time tested methods for getting stronger and fitter. But don’t listen to me. Please buy his product and reject traditional advice!
Sorry but the constant clearing of his throat & coughing shows me he’s not as healthy as he should be
Us who are women 68 +, who have been lifting weights for strength and osteoporosis, where do we find Osteo Strong? Mine is getting worse with constant exercise! Is this a home device we could buy to use or only the X3 is a home product! Please help!
OsteoStrong is a franchise and you must go to the location to use it the equipment. The x3 is the minimal home equipment for building strength and muscle and is therefore also good for bones. OsteoStrong will probably give better and faster results.
One of the best things to actually help with osteoporosis is vitamin D 10,000 IU per day along with vitamin K2( best super K from life extension- can be purchased on amazon ) doctors often prescribe biphosphonates which at best only preserve bone density but do not increase bone density. Studies have shown up to 6% bone density increase per year .I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my early 40’s despite running 5-10 miles daily due to a genetic mutation. Now at 64 my bone density is up ovet 55%.
PhD from Rushmore University: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rushmore_University
This is my least favorite podcast. He talks too negatively about others and the “my way is better” vibe (or maybe just the delivery) is such a turn off. X3 does look great & may consider it in the future.
Yea I’ll agree that dr John is a bit abrasive but I’m sure when you go against conventional training that’s been praised for decades you become that way.
I will say that you should get the X.3. It is a great device and it does exactly what is promised as long as you follow the program to a T
as of right now I am a early adopter of a new product by Dr. John called the X3 force bar , it’s a smart bar that calculates the force you generate for each exercise and every time you work out you need to beat your previous force. It’s an amazing device and it just makes the X.3 program that much more exciting!
It should be released late this summer or this fall
Dr.Ben Bocchicchio "smart ex" for an interview is a safe bet for valuable information as well..jus t my 2 cent
Definitely changed by opinion of Dr Lyon with her admiration of this guy & her opinion of him a "humble" , while he is a classic narcissist and constantly insulting the very 'lemmings' he is using - both of them of using - to create their wealth. And from Lyon's comment implying success was "lots of money and a beautiful wife"; no shock this podcast was one long infomercial, interspersed with the short infomercial ads. This is marketing, not health advice.
What are Dr Lyon’s recommendations for carbs? More than 50 less than?
She has said in many of her videos that as long as you have protein in check and within calorie range you can do what you like with carbs or fats. She doesn't say one way or another...up to you
To summarize, what I learned through this interview, is the "calf path."
Oh boy, someone really dropped the ball on vetting this guy! I’ll admit he’s a genius at marketing, but his “medical credentials” are from a well-known diploma mill…it gets shadier from there. His theories on bodybuilding are hilarious…Wow!
He really should have Dr. Lyon (a legit doctor) check out that annoying cough; he had it a full month ago.
He has over 30 patents to his name and has developed a device to prevent osteoporosis that is used all over the world. It’s not the degree, it’s what you do with the knowledge gained.
You see a guy built like a brick s**t H****e , invented a game changing medical device,, develops a game changing workout system based on science and you want to delegitimize him based on his degree. How about checking your presuppositions that one must attend a Harvard or Stanford be have any value to society, I think I will pay attention to what he does, says and produces. Just a thought. Note his billionaire partner in business is Tony Robbins, that graduated from High School and went on to be a thought leader for Presidents. Again, just thinking.
He probably has hypertension and is on an ACE inhibitor.... I know you must be thinking I am nuts, because, ya know, he's been lifting with rubber bands......😂
He's juiced out of his mind and trying to sell rubber bands as the magic bullet to fitness.
You have no history of other comments. How much did he pay you?
Variable resistance is awesome ... But no elastic band can actually match every muscle's maximal force development curve.
I wish it was more affordable!
Great and honestly brutal guest! Love, love, loved it! So frank, simple and educational! Wonderful interview! ❤😊😊🙏🙌
I was interested in the content but the man was pretty raw 😄
There is an interesting phenomena with people who lift weights but do not put on muscle and that is they are not tensing the muscle as they perform the rep. This creates less growth and less mind muscle connection.
a shame you're giving this scammer a bigger audience, shilling his overpriced rubber bands and his mail order degree mill nonsense isn't something I'd expected to see here
Have you used the product?
@@josephsmyth832 exactly 😉
Try it before you knock it bro. Its unlike anything ive ever done.
It sounds expensive for those of us with osteoporosis on a budget won't be able to use it if it's legit,, strength training jumping walking nutrient-dense diet is the best we can do
@@joshuarogalski3540 Some people don’t realize that if they make false allegations against a product or someone’s character without material facts then it’s libel and slander. I personally haven’t used the product but I would never allege something that isn’t factual about someone else. How long have you used the product? I was thinking about this product because there are numerous people who use the gym who injure themselves.
@10:30 his buddy didn’t have a longer tendon he was on gear 😮
