Advancing Physical Medicine & Fitness

On this week’s episode of the Escape Your Limits podcast, we are joined by John Jaquish, a doctor of biomechanical engineering on a mission to educate the world as to why traditional weightlifting is a waste of time. Driven by an obsessive interest in bone health stemming from his mothers’ osteoporosis diagnosis, invented the X3® – a device that improves bone strength, whilst limiting the risk of injury, through the application of variable (adaptive) resistance. Dr. Jaquish is absolutely committed to advancing osteogenic load research and travels the world speaking about its implications. A number of his articles have been printed in medical journals and he has also written and published a couple of books: ‘Osteogenic Loading’ and ‘Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time – And So Is Cardio. There’s A Better Way To Have The Body You Want’. Whilst Dr. Jaquish is a disruptor and very happy to question the effectiveness of traditional weight training techniques, his findings are also supported by several independent studies. His 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.

"In Episode 18 of "A Stern Talk," we’re joined by “the Tony Stark of the fitness industry,” John Jaquish, PhD. Dr. Jaquish shares his journey of innovation in fitness and health, starting with a personal mission to combat his mother's osteoporosis that led to the development of the groundbreaking OsteoStrong device, followed by the X3 fitness system, aimed at maximizing muscular development with minimal time commitment. Throughout the episode, Dr. Jaquish underscores his philosophies with insights from his own experience and research. The conversation focuses on the potential for technology to transform personal fitness. Dr. Jaquish's story is a compelling narrative of how personal challenges can lead to innovation that benefits a wide audience.

Dr. John Jaquish isn't your average fitness guru. He's a researcher, author, and inventor who went from battling his mother's osteoporosis to developing a revolutionary fitness system that's turning heads in the NFL and beyond. But get this: it doesn't involve endless sets of squats or bench presses. In this episode of Clinic Gym Hybrid Radio, Dr. Jaquish dives deep into the science behind his X3 system, revealing why weightlifting might be holding you back and how his unique approach can unlock your true muscle-building potential. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, this conversation is packed with actionable insights and game-changing tips to help you reach your fitness goals.

John Jaquish is a visionary biomedical engineer. His inventions are revolutionizing the way we think about muscle hypertrophy and disrupted the conventional beliefs about muscular strength and bone health. He’s an outside the box thinker whose story demonstrates that unconventional thinking is not enough for success. You gotta have determination and perseverance if you have any hope that your innovations will ever see the light of day. From pursuing his PhD to developing osteogenic loading devices, he has confronted and overcome the skepticism of his colleagues, of academic gatekeepers and even fellow strength and conditioning experts. His research into osteogenic loading led directly to the development of X3, an exercise system that overcomes the limitations inherent in traditional resistance training systems. Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, you will definitely be entertained.
