Most people set a fitness goal, losing body fat or increasing muscle strength. Yet despite hours at the gym seen no results. There is a simple scientific reason why this has happened. In Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time, Dr. John Jaquish, known as the “Tony Stark of the fitness industry” tells why gym workouts fail and offers a proven simple scientific way to achieve your fitness goals without hours at the gym. Meticulously researched, yet easy to read, it provides a cost-efficient and safe way to achieve the body that you desire without the gym. So why are weight lifting and cardio a waste of time? What is the way to achieve your fitness goals?
Able to discuss this and more Dr. John Jaquish has been called the “Tony Stark of the fitness industry” by multiple media outlets, author of Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time. He is the inventor of the world's most effective bone density building medical device. His scientific discoveries based on his first invention drove his second invention, X3: the world's most powerful muscle building device.
I had a chance to interview him to learn more.
Why is weight lifting not as effective as people think it is?
Weight Lifting does not give people the results they are looking for because it can’t provide the amount of force necessary to trigger muscle growth throughout the entire range of motion. Our weight choice is limited to what our weak range can handle, so we’re not effectively working on our medium and strong ranges. Subsequently, when we choose a weight that better fits those stronger ranges, we sustain injuries because the weak range is where the most cumulative joint damage occurs.
What about cardio workouts?
It is a common misconception that cardio is an effective way to lose body fat. In reality, it has the opposite effect. Prolonged cardio can keep you fatter for longer because it stimulates cortisol, the body’s natural stress hormone. Cortisol protects body fat and promotes the breakdown of lean muscle tissue.
It’s quite simple. Doing hours of cardio tells the body that it needs to go long distances with limited amounts of fuel. It responds by protecting that fuel and holding onto fat for as long as possible.
If weights and cardio aren’t the best use of our time, how can we achieve fitness goals?
Two simple words: variable resistance. Variable resistance provides a more effective method of delivering the appropriate amount of force throughout all ranges of motion. Matching our differing capacity with an appropriate level of resistance throughout the range of motion instead of using a constant weight chosen for our area of least strength makes far more sense, and is proven to work. In the book, we provide multiple scientific studies that prove variable resistance works no matter your current conditioning, age or sex.
Are there any products on the market that you would recommend?
Absolutely! Our X3 product that we talk about in the book. The X3 is an exercise system that builds muscle 3 times faster than conventional weightlifting, in far less time, and at the lowest risk of joint injury. It delivers varying weight throughout the range of motion, triggering your muscles to adapt and change. In this book, we show a tremendous amount of data supporting just how poor stimulus weight training is for its intended purpose, as well as a tremendous amount of data showing how variance in resistance is the obvious answer to this challenge.
Secondly, I recommend our Fortagen supplement. The supplement includes an optimum amino acid formula that is used in synthesizing and supplying the body with protein.
Tell me about your book?
Our book is for anyone wanting to change their lives and challenge the fitness status quo. If your goal is to gain strength and muscle with a program that is sustainable and is not irritating to your joints, then this book is for you. The information in this book will get you closer to what you want than almost any conventional approach. We provide interesting, well-supported, cutting-edge scientific advancements to help almost every aspect of your life, including fitness and nutrition.
How did you earn the nickname ‘the Tony Stark of the fitness industry’ by the media?
I was dubbed the “Tony Stark of the fitness industry” by the Chicago Tribune for my work in paving the way in scientific-backed fitness and health inventions. I developed a medical device after years of research on bone density successfully reversed my mother’s osteoporosis. The end result of my efforts was OsteoStrong - a unique device meant to improve bone density, posture, and balance, fight osteoporosis, and improve athletic performance. I then went on to revolutionize the fitness industry, debunking the status quo with proven methods of growing muscle, losing fat and increasing joint health along the way. My invention of the X3 bar has helped thousands of people achieve their fitness goals while improving their nutrition and life-long health.
What are the top things you want people to walk away with after reading the book?
I want my readers to walk away with a greater understanding of the human body, and how to manipulate it into the body you’ve always wanted. I want people to question the fad diets and ineffective workouts they see influencers and celebrities promoting, and try a science-backed approach that is proven to work wonders on women and men of all ages and fitness backgrounds.
