Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time

So Is Cardio, and There’s a Better Way to Have the Body You Want

By: Dr. John Jaquish, Henry Alkire

Narrated by: Phoenix Phillips

You’ve been lifting for a few years. When you take your shirt off, do you look like a professional athlete? Do you even look like you work out?

Many so-called fitness experts defend weights and cardio like they are infallible. But where are the results? Why does almost nobody look even marginally athletic?

Fitness may be the most failed human endeavor, and you are about to hear how exercise science has missed some obvious principles that, when enacted, will turn you into the superhuman that you've always wanted to be.

In Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time, Dr. John Jaquish and Henry Alkire explore the science that supports this argument and present a superior strength-training approach that has been known to put 20 pounds of muscle on drug-free, experienced lifters (i.e., not beginners) in six months.

One of the best books on the topic

As far as the title is concerned, I haven't read a ton of books on the topic but very few books that I re-read (or re-listen in this case) over and over. Just to make sure I absorb the information well.

This is one of those books.

Lets see if it works.

10% ad, 90% data

yes, it has afs for the X3 bar, which I already own, but the science and data backing it up is very informative and interesting. half the book is actually about fasting and the carnivore diet. good listen.

Get ready to have yo mind blown in the best way!!!

it's amazing when you learn the real truths about everything we've been lied to about! like he says your mind has to be open to learning the truth!! A must listen to in my top five of all reads!!!

Profound

This was the first health, fitness and nutrition book I was able to finish in the last decade! It's maybe the 20th I've started. I usually get hung up on un-verifiable assertions that seem to be more interested in evangel-lastic tellings of their systems to get me to buy something. I already bought the X3 bar and was using it for 10 weeks at the time of reading this book, but I loved the verifiable research mixed in with sprinkles of relatable narrative!

Good stuff.

I learned a lot. Worth the time. Give it a try. Four more words required.
