Send us Fan Mail

Sometimes referred to as, “The Tony Stark of the fitness industry” Dr John Jaquish is the inventor of X3, a technology that is proven to develop muscle much faster than conventional weight lifting… and with the lowest risk of joint injury.

He has spent years researching and developing improved approaches to health. Today he joins host Chris Wilson to discuss his controversial viewpoints about traditional weight lifting methods promoted by most fitness experts. Dr Jaquish is also a WSJ best-selling author by his book of the same name, Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time.

Dr. Jaquish methods are used in training the world's most elite athletes and associations such as the entire Miami Heat organization, various NFL and NBA players, as well as Olympians. And his bone density building medical technology is now partnered with Tony Robbins and OsteoStrong for rapid clinic deployment.

 

"I wouldn't waste my time with calisthenics and I wouldn't pick up a barbell." -Dr John Jaquish
