X3 how long does training take

Let me conclude with this. Although only a few professional bodybuilders used the Mentzer System exclusively Dorian Yates was one , even if it was just nearly as effective as multi-set, The Menzer System is vastly superior as it saves time and lots of it. If the X3 Bar band training were just almost as good as weights, than it is a clear winner. After all, gyms suck. I have had sissy gyms throw me out.

You have to wait to use equipment, comply to their dress code. I like to train naked and play Haydn symphonies. People shouting encouragement is a distraction for me. I want to achieve deep meditative thought to gain maximum internal effort.

Haydn symphonies are cerebral. Rock and hip hop are visceral. Gregory, Thanks for sharing your insights. Do let us know what happens as you add X3 Bar to your workouts.

Gregory, is it too much to ask for you to get out there with a blog or a YouTube channel? You clearly have an incredible wealth of information to share. Nathan, thanks so much.

I appreciate your kind words. Wow, I was quite shocked to see that the Bullworker is still around. Now I am 60 lbs overweight and out of shape.

Belong to Golds gym but hardly ever go. Looking for something to build up muscle strength for I am really soft. I too was looking at the X3. I also found out that the Exer-genie is also still around and for half the price but is a different system. We used it in football quite a bit. Hi Tony, if I can jump in, since you are just starting to get back in shape, know that anything will help.

No need to lift heavy weights or do multiple sets. Thanks for the heads up on the Exer-Genie. I have been reading about all this x3 hype for a week. I just purchased equally resistant bands, a bar, 2 carabiners to hold the bands and I plan on standing on the bands. I have been using free weights off and on my entire life.

I currently work out twice a week doing full body each workout and been doing that for 2 yrs consistently now.

I am 37 and am happy with my gains, looks, health, etc. But I am going to incorporate what I just bought just to see what one day of this will do while still going one day to the gym. Hopefully it will at least retain what i have, which is my goal so I can save time by not going to the gym twice a week.

But I am interested to see if I will maybe even make gains being my body will get some shock at the different type of resistance! Stuff i bought: drapers bands set plus the biggest band they also send a workout pdf bionic body workout bar 2 stroller carabiners to hold the big bands.

Hi Aaron, thanks for sharing all this. Yes please do circle back and let us know what happens with your workouts. The shorter band length means tension is created earlier in the exercise movement and more quickly. Terrance, thanks for the tip. Thanks for the thorough review. You might find them interesting.

Refreshing honesty, if nothing else. Allegedly, in the study cited — Antinino, et al. If true, it runs counter to your speculation that cutting sugar works by cutting calories. Hi Norrin, thanks so much for sharing your insights and observations. Im also glad to see the honesty in response to peoples questions. Like you, Ive have wondered too if the triceps pushdown would stress the neck. I dont think anyone here has mentioned it has though.

Its trendy but I see no good proof its better than other coffee. Ive read Antininos research over the years. Hes a respected research scientists. It involved 30 resistance trained young men. Its an interesting study and I noticed they used the Bod Pod to measure body fat.

As you said, the 4 grams per kilogram is about 2 grams per pound of body weight. I noticed they did not seem to measure liver enzymes or kidney function. That could be seen as a weakness but in healthy people, this might not elicit any significant changes. For those who are not so healthy, this might be too much. Im not sure if this study was ever replicated by others. As I said I have no doubt X3 will make muscles stronger.

I do think the price will be a hurdle for some people. They have changed the tricep press to something less likely to cause injury to the neck. Is it the same as pumping iron? I looked at the variation up. As an exercise scientist and fitness professional, I appreciate your review. I do want to point out a couple of things that you might not have correct in your review. All other exercises that are performed with this device are actually not ideal in regards to the variable resistance.

This means that the individual will not be able to complete each rep effectively due to the resistance not matching up with their strength. Also, a simple correction: most machines in the gym DO NOT offer variable resistance that is ideal for the body.

Most machines operate with a simple mechanical system of loads, pulleys, and cams, effectively just changing mechanical advantage throughout the system. Resistance bands are generally the only linear variable resistance device in the gym. The X3 would not be the ideal form of resistance for the: biceps, triceps, upright row which actually impinges the shoulder joint , bent over row, and calf raises.

I only wanted to make those corrections to the statement. Again, most of your information seems to be both thorough and accurate. Appreciate your synopsis of the X3. Nick, thanks so much and for the feedback and your insights.

About the machines in the gym, I view most machines as offering variable resistance accommodating resistance because they vary the load lifted as the resistance is moved through a ROM.

They accomplish this with use of cams, pulleys etc. By altering the resistance through ROM they alter the mechanical advantage.

Thanks for the extensive look at this Joe. It also is very bulky, in terms of size. Gallo, thanks for the heads up on the Gorilla Bow. That could play a role in the resistance the bands generate. Let us know what you think of X3 or Gorilla Bow if you get either of them.

Standing in it with out a platform is NO problem. Gripping it without a bar is NO problem. It can be gripped at any length, and feet can be spaced as desired, thus I definitely varying the resistance and rang of motion. The old x3 is discontinued. Hi Mark, thanks for mentioning WodFitter bands. I didnt know they produced so much resistance. Thanks for the heads up. Also, thanks for the heads up on the new X3 Bar -its called the X3 Pro. I get where you guys are coming from but your assumptions are wrong.

I have never been a big weight lifter but have always tried to gain some size. I have never seen results with weights like I have with the X3 in 10 or 15 minutes a day. Believe what you want, your loss. To make such judgements without even trying it is ridiculous. In my twenty and thirties I did a lot of powerlifting and general body building weight training.

I got better results then but was 1 younger and 2 spent upwards of 5 hours a week in the gym. I would suggest mixing in a couple of traditional weight lifting sessions per week if you are looking to optimize.

Kevin, thanks for sharing your experiences with the X3 bar. That is an interesting observation about the resistance at the start of the ROM. Glad to hear you are having good results with it overall. Not a chance.

Then I kept coming back to the Facebook users group and reading the comments. After 9 weeks or so of using X3, I am absolutely thrilled. I used to spend 1. I now spend about 20 minutes a day doing virtually double what X3 recommends with a few free weights added in for super-sets. So much so, that the purchase price is a non-issue for me given the extra time I have available in daily life now. It will make you stronger, and it will put on muscle.

First off, let me say that I love the product, just not so much the prescribed routine. There is much hype on the X3 users group FB site promoting the need to stick to the program as prescribed.

Any discussion of alteration is quickly stifled. Second: I believe that my convictions about the product have for the most part been confirmed. It is an excellent device for home workout, even better as it travels well. For me, I found it necessary to maintain some level of static weight lifting incorporated alongside the X3 routine in order to maintain the muscle mass that I had established over the years.

The routine that came out of this has me easily spending half the time in my workouts as before X3, and my strength has increased nicely. I feel the results are tangible. Finally: The device is expensive… However, well worth the cost for me given the time savings and resulting improvements mentioned above. The only regret that I have is for others; in that I suspect that many are missing out on significant gains in mass by not incorporating both weights and X3 into their program driven largely by the cult mentality on their user group site.

Most users appear extremely lean, really strong, but not so muscular. I am very glad to hear how well you have been doing with it. I agree, the prescribed workout routine is not the only road to take to see improvements. Like many things in fitness, there are may ways to get to the same destination.

The important thing is to find something that works for you. While I appreciate this review. You never stated did you buy it or participate in the 12 week program. That is what I want to know. I think when you have a new product and you are promoting it by yourself most people may not believe it. Unless it is on a major tv channel i. With that said I think people should at least try it out to see what benefit you actually get. I am taking a chance and see where this journey takes me.

I will say though he is partnered with Tony Robbins not for the X3bar but another device. Hi Curt, Thanks for chiming in. I did not buy X3 Bar or do the 12 week program. I had no doubt that using the variable resistance bands would improve muscle strength and I did say that in the review too. But, is it better than other forms of resistance exercise?

As I outlined, there are pros and cons. This is true for every exercise. My goal was to help people understand X3 Bar better and answer their questions without hype. I think I accomplished that goal. When you use the program, I would also do cardio because despite what they say or intimate, cardio has health benefits.

I hope X3 Bar works for you. Please do circle back and let us know how you are progressing with it. He got his PhD from Rushmore University which is a diploma mill. He has an MBA in marketing though. So while he looks jacked, how are we to know whether it was due to the X3 or just the testosterone or a bit of both?

While the product might be effective in producing gains, I seriously believe this guy is a fraud. True, he is faculty there. Its mailing address is in the Cayman Islands. Simon, thanks for the links! You delved definitely deeper into this than I had. Thanks for your help! We go through this big marketing hype every season and people eat it up. Hi Steven, glad you were helped by me review. From what I understood, this was an unbiased group. However, I found it peculiar that no one had a negative thing to say about it.

I joined the group to find out real results from people, but I found very little. These people were like a cult. When anyone questioned the price they all got very defensive and even Dr. Jaquish joined in.

While I can understand them wanting to control whats posted on their facebook group, its unfortunate they handled the situation like you said.

The bands are special?! You really just need the bar and that is. Hard to beleive you were blocked asking about price. The group is full of users, many are new, that is true, however many are just asking questions to help them make a buying decision.

As of today more and more before and after pics are being posted. This old dude loves the his X3. There are demo sites all over the country.

There are plenty of smaller complaints and such, the members thus far have been honest about their likes and dislikes and others sometimes chime in in defense. There are also almost daily results posted of members in various stages of their involvement in the program and several have incredible results.

The price to me seems ridiculous. Hi Jim, you bring up a good point. For some people that is an option. My buddy has this and I tried it. Those bands are very strong. I workout but I was still sore 2 days afterward. Hi Nick, thanks for the feedback. Muscle soreness the next day makes sense because you have not used the X3 Bar before.

Thanks for the review. The system looks so intriguing because it is simple and can easily be stored. The design is very clever. I want to give it time to see what results people get. So far I see people posting that their results have been good… but no before and after pics.

So I am not convinced. Are you kidding me? They are going to have to cut that price down significantly before I even consider buying this thing. I purchased some tube bands for cheap.. I can mimic the product. Hi Kevin, I agree X3 is intriguing. While I have no doubt it will make people stronger, I also have not yet seen before and after pictures. I also agree its too expensive for my tastes. You make a good point about the simplicity of X3 -and price.

This may cause others to try to MacG yver their own version of X3 like you did for less money. Hi Tyler, you ask an interesting question. In theory, if you used the X3 Bar and did it consistently, it could take the place of many of the things you do in the gym.

The X3 is just for Resistance training and so I still feel you would need to do some type of aerobic exercise too. Even walking works for that. On the downside, you would not have any interaction with people working out at home. But, on the flip side you would not have to wait to use your favorite machines.

Think about what you like and dont like about working out in the gym, consider the price of both and ask yourself if you would constantly use X3 if you were to ditch your gym membership. I hope that helps.

I used to use resistance bands for some training when I traveled a lot. They work OK. The one side benefit you get is that many of them force you to use correct posture using them, so your sense of balance improves. It is significantly cheaper than the X Yes the Body Boss. I mentioned the BodyBoss home gym in the review -and a few others portable gyms too. Here;s The Body Boss 2. It even has a foot plat to help you do squats. And as you said, it does cost a LOT less too.

The Body Boss price will definitely resonate with a lot of people. Hi Joe, how do you know you put on 10 lbs of muscle in 2 months? I dont even think taking steroids would do that. Hi Becky, I appreciate your thoughts on this.

I was not trying to write an X3 testimony. I was trying to help people understand it how it works. Whether it does it better than other exercise machines that I feel needs more research. I work out still 4 times a week.

X3 Bar and the System works as advertised. Try it. Hi Tim, that is correct. I have a MS degree in exercise science. If you use it, I have no doubt it will make your muscles stronger. I even said that in the review. Hi Rob, I think its possible the X3 Bar might stimulate growth hormone production. I think it might do this because most of the exercises activate big muscle groups -legs, back and chest — and the exercises are performed to failure and from a standing position one of the little voices in my head says standing exercise might be better at raising HGH than seated — I have no proof of this though.

I also do not know if the raise in HGH if it did occur would result in weight loss. If anyone has seen clinical studies on growth hormone release using elastic fitness bands, leave a comment and let me know. Hi Amy, you and I are both dating ourselves. I do indeed remember the SoloFlex. Back in the s it was all over TV. It used powerful rubber bands weightstraps to generate resistance.

I have not seen one in a while but Soloflex is still being sold. I had the soloflex in and I use the X3bar regularly. The soloflex had quite a few options but was much bigger and it took time to change the bands.

It was really like having a home gym using bands. I find the X3bar to be a far more time efficient workout, takes no space, stores easily, and you can take it with you on trips.

Overall I much prefer the X3bar but 39 years have passed. Jeff W, I remember the soloflex too. I agree, X3 is more portable. The ability to move between exercises is also a big advantage. Hi Joe, Thank you so much for taking the time to review this product. You have saved me a lot of time and for that I thank you! Hi Stan, most of the exercises with the X3 Bar are demonstrated from a standing position. If you are confined to a wheel chair, it might be possible to modify some of the exercises.

The chest press can definitely be performed from a seated position. I would suggest having someone help you with this if you decide to try it. Hi Joe, Thanks for the review. I am especially interested in the device Dr, Jaquish invented for osteoporosis.

I take it that BioDensity and OsteoStrong are the same machines, promoted on different websites. Would love to hear your thoughts on this versus other forms of exercise to reverse osteoporosis without medications. The BioDensity website lists provider locations that have the machine. It appears a chiropractor in King of Prussia offers this. While Im sure they provide some feedback on progress I know its possible to reverse osteoporosis using machines and free weights.

I have seen it happen. I did not know about the chiropractor in KOP who has one of these devices. It might be worth a day trip to see it in action. Thanks for the heads up on the Optimized Geek podcast. This review came at the perfect time! Thanks Joe for what you do. Joe, thanks so much for this very comprehensive review! I was just wondering about X3 Bar. As a former US military, I was very glad to see you mention info about a possible incentive for those of us who served.

Hi John, thanks so much. Janquish Biomedical, the company behind the wildly popular X3 Bar resistance training program has started selling its own line of dietary supplements.

Thanks so much for your thorough review and help! In one study, 20 novice lifers were spit into the following groups free weight group resistance band group control group that did not exercise Both exercise groups worked out for 24 weeks 3 days per week These researchers saw no difference in strength improvements between resistance bands and free weights.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. I have a neck fusion at c5-c7 both front and back. Will the X3 Bar system be safe to use? Does anybody else here have thoughts on this? Best wishes. Super helpful response — thank you for your thoughtfulness on this Joe. This page is great and full of extremely useful info. Joe, what are your thoughts on In-Perium, the pre-workout Jaquish is selling? Billy, Is there a way to adjust the bands so you push through a greater distance?

Yes, I too would like to know. Looking at the body boss or Exergenie. Please let me know I am also interested in Body Boss 2.

Did you do a review on the Candy bar system? Hi Laura, Im not sure what the candy bar system is. Can you tell me more about what it is? Candy Bar is much better than X3. I have owned both of them. Landon, what do you like about the Candy Bar that makes it better? Rick, let us know what happens. To be able to do 40 push-ups a day is fantastic at any age! Bob, X3bar ads have inundated my Facebook page. John that is great that you are doing pull-ups!

They are so challenging to do for most people. Dear Jond and Joe, Thank you for your replies. Hey, Joe. Thanks for moderating such a thoughtful discussion about this product.

Warmly, Nate. Gregory, you ordered the X3 back in Aug. What are your thoughts so far? Stuff i bought: drapers bands set plus the biggest band they also send a workout pdf bionic body workout bar 2 stroller carabiners to hold the big bands I will update my findings if interested. Hi Joe. The bod pod provides accurate results See my review on DEXA body fat testing As you said, the 4 grams per kilogram is about 2 grams per pound of body weight. They do offer a veteran discount, made in the USA, and I am pleased.

I DO still use my elliptical machine and some calesthenics. Thank you very much Nick, for your expert advice and commentary. Anthony, thanks so much. If you try X3, do let us know what you think.
