X3 bar 30 day challenge!

Been on this Challenge for 2.5 years!

[@the_dudeabides9718]

Yes, but I'm guessing you add other things to your workouts. Perhaps give us readers a rundown of your updated workouts in your Saturday 7. Thanks for those by the way! Always entertaining information.

[@KevinStock12]

@@the_dudeabides9718 I actually did create a program based on what I've been doing (will share more info about it in the Saturday 7)

[@RV-there-Yet]

Well then, mister overachiever =) Nice. I'm thrilled to see it~ had no idea this system existed. Huge leap forward from standard resistance bands I'd say. *Can I ask what's kept you on them all this time? Meaning, 'best of' as far as advantages? Thanks, in advance~ Sam

[@deanpaulson6714]

@@KevinStock12 I saw the video it was great content . I myself have used band training and pull ups exclusively since retiring from rugby 15 years ago ( I am 58 ) I have maintained most I would day 95 percent of LBM from my peak at 35/ 36 . I only train 20 min 3 or 4 times per week and use the one set to failure principle . My body is really banged up from rugby my joints aren't in a good place but cosmetically I look fairly similar to when I hit HEAVY weight hard ! It amazing how little you need for maintenance If you keep the schedule going (also zero peds) I would encourage people to give band training a try. Especially older athletes with joints or body issues. Add the carnivore diet it's a great combo ! However I know 100 percent if I stepped under an Olympic bar I could snap in half 🤣🤣 but you gotta do what you can

Got the X3 after seeing you with John. Strict Carnivore 55 yrs old 12 weeks in gains are amazing.

[@Carnivoreshrink]

I LOVE my x3 bar - best piece of kit I've bought! 👌

[@mp7925]

Same here, despite high price tag. Worth every $.

[@dixonhouse]

@@mp7925 I've been hesitant to take the plunge, can you tell me why it's worth it? I just keep thinking I can use resistance bands instead

[@mp7925]

@@dixonhouse Because I finally can train to exhaustion with just one set without having any pain in joints. Never felt so good any training with weights, except for the ego. :-) Bar and plate are ESSENTIAL to be pain free, bands alone twist joints. All well explained by dr. Jaquish in his book and elsewhere.

[@dixonhouse]

@@mp7925 VERY interesting! I do have some joint issues. Thank you for sharing that.

I was interested in getting these. Will definitely see how this goes. Thanks for the tutorial

No problem!

[@ffdad8457]

Works like crazy!!!

I did not know such a tool existed. I need to get one for my husband. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your knowledge and time.

[@tankmoore7059]

I LOVE this. I'm about your stature Dr. Chaffee. I've put back all my muscle and I'm about to break new size plateaus within thr next few weeks. Thought I'd miss the gym but I really don't. Also my shoulders specifically have already grown larger than they've ever been. Can't wait to see YOUR results.

[@anthonychaffeemd]

That's awesome man! Yeah I'm excited as well!

[@gavingunhold2596]

Ive used x3 now for about a year. Using it properly combined with carnivore leads to amazing gains

[@davidrodgers4760]

Where did u buy it,and what exactly specifically do u eat on carnivore. Thanks

[@salimsukkar5647]

I've been using the X3 for over a year now and love it. Lifting free weights always seemed to injure my joints and would have to stop. Not so with the X3! The split squats are definitely easier to perform and get a full range of motion as compared to the front squats.I loved your interview with Dr Ken Berry!

[@anthonychaffeemd]

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed talking to him, he's a really cool guy, and extremely knowledgeable

[@eltongoldin3640]

Go for it Dr Chaffee. X3 is awesome. No more injuries for me from weight lifting as a result. And the results are better than I had in the gym over many years.

[@ccb6013]

I have a very similar set-up that I use for my home workouts. I love it because I can do squats to true failure and not worry about crumpling under a heavy bar. I don't do the typical challenge but instead do hour-long workouts five mornings a week to wake me up for my day. Combining the heavy front squats with some affordable heel elevators from Amazon has been helping to take my quads to the next level.

[@justinbloom6659]

Ive been doing X3 for nearly 4 years. I'd suggest you do split squats (instead of front) and go a band lighter on Overhead Press so you can get a fuller range of motion. I think you'll love the system, especially with your existing muscle. Shouldn't be any issue maintaining or even building some (slowly and safely)

[@dixonhouse]

I've been interested in getting this and it's so expensive. Since you're been using for so long, can you explain why this system is better than just using resistance bands?

[@Aircheekz]

@@dixonhouse first off, these aren't regular resistance bands you can buy at Walmart... secondly, the plate and bar are built to last and help prevent injuries that would likely occur from trying to use it without a bar or foot plate attachment. also its not truly that expensive... im virtually poor due to health issues (no exaggeration) but was able to afford it due to just using Affirm to pay for it monthly. it only sounds expensive because many of us are used to some cheaply made "fitness device" being just a couple hundred dollars, which eventually serves no real purpose but staying in a closet to collect dust! X3 isn't that at all!

[@dixonhouse]

@@Aircheekz Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate your response.

[@Aircheekz]

@@dixonhouse my pleasure

[@forrestbirnbaum434]

@@dixonhouse way I see it is that you’re investing in your health so spending $550 isn’t that much when you look at it that way, considering what can happen if you don’t take care of your body and need to make much more expensive trips to the hospital. You can also think of the fact that if you paid for a gym membership for more than 3 years or so it’ll end up costing more for a membership than the one time payment of this system.

[@jonathonryback6723]

Thank you so much for doing this on KZbin! I will do this with you! High five!

[@Natty4Life]

Awesome man. Keep these up. Love it.

[@eshetchayil6246]

Bought my system used on fb for only $200. Love it!

[@Ph0enixW0lf]

I’m looking forward to seeing your results after 30 days. I put the X3 on my Christmas list after your interview with its creator. It’s expensive though… I’ll feel a lot better about my xmas budget going there if you get some seriously good results in a month. :)

[@anthonychaffeemd]

Well that's what I'm hoping for as well! And I think of it as bulk paying for gym memberships for the rest of my life :) I'll be getting a discount code I can share with people though, so wait a bit for that and it might be cheaper!

No excuses Dr

[@RV-there-Yet]

Wow~ that's an awesome portable workout. Would be great for travel, space issues in the RV, etc. We have standard resistance bands, but daaaang~ those are clearly next level. "To failure" is the way to go, & so is "attacking our weaknesses". Love this. Appreciate the post =a0

I will have to look in to purchasing the X3 Bar after your demonstration of it here. I was considering it before as a workout to help my balance, coordination and strength training for my cerebral palsy.

[@eyesalooking]

How did it work out for you?

[@bazo0]

Was seriously interested in ordering X3, but paying 500 bucks for a metal rod and 4 bands was too much of a "lol" moment for me. If it becomes affordable for normal human beings I will definately try it. Thanks for showcasing, much appreciated.

[@mp7925]

Phone, tablet, PC, ... you pay is never just for bunch of plastic and metallic elements. Have been weighting in for months, now that I have x3 I'm sorry I did not decided it before. Worth every $. Said this I still think 300-400€ would be OK and they would make more money.

[@bazo0]

@@mp7925 All these things have software and developers in the background, besides support and circuit stuff. I literally pay 500 bucks for a stick and 4 rubber bands. Even though I won't deny it will work the way it is portraied, I just can't wrap my head around the markup. It's like I buy steaks for 50 instead of 10 bucks "just because it is the human apropiate food". I just don't want to support a greedy markup scheme. When I watched the video of the creator I was ready to blast 50-100 bucks, but when I saw the price I closed the page immediately. If it ever goes down to 1-200 bucks maybe, but as long as people are promoting a way over the top priced item it is just marketing, and I wont partake in it.

[@mp7925]

@@bazo0 There was a lot of development here, testing, ... guess it took them years to perfect it. I see a lot of people involved with dr. Jaquish, ... they need to live from something. Said that I think 300-400$ would be fair price. It is not and I'm fine with what I have purchased compared to some pale imitations I had been able to try at least. Quality here is totally palpable, including bands. Yes, again, expensive but now that I have it I'm not sorry at all.

[@bazo0]

@@mp7925 I appreciate your comments. I believe you understand my curiousity that a stick with some bands for half a K in € seems very overpriced. Honestly, after thinking of it in perspective, comparing it to f.e. a gaming console, it certainly would be a good investment^^. It is just such a big payment, like, after paying 100€ for keto chow electrolyte drops, 50€ redmons real salt, now this. For a way of living that should be deficient in nothing it kinda is friggin expensive, you know what I mean? I guess personal health is priceless, I possibly will think it over. A very demotivational aspect as an european certainly is that I have to pay 30% more for shipping/toll(had to pay 60€ for 0,8kg of Readmonds Real Salt f.e.), hope this isn't the case for this product(+ ofcourse at least a month shipping time). May I ask, did you order from US or another continent? If the latter, price/delivery time?

[@lukestevens8402]

If you put 1 twist in the band before you hook it onto the bar it should spread apart on your shoulders on tri-press

[@SuperSledgerz]

[trips over base plate during squats] "Alright, we'll call that good." Relatable for sure. 😅 Thank you for all you do, Dr. Chaffee - keep up the good work!

[@Deanvandam]

I Can’t afford $500 for bands. At 55 I just got a set of bands and am gonna follow this workout with the bands I have. Thanks for the video

[@anthonychaffeemd]

Very good option! Yeah there are definitely cheaper options, so you can try those out. I haven't used those before, so I don't know about quality etc, but there are plenty of options out there.

[@RyCam02]

For an individual with your advanced training history why not use gravitational forces combined with the accommodating resistance of the band when performing upper body push. A simple push-up will provide circa 66% of your body weight combined with that nasty looking orange band will blast those pecticles. Looking forward to following your challenge

[@kajusbajus]

[@marcgutierrez1173]

Good stuff doc..I've had the x3 for a year and half now. So you are doing multiple sets ? I feel better banging out a couple of more as well . What about rep schemes? Are you trying to hit the 30 reps that Doc jaquish recommends or are you just cranking to failure?

[@Aircheekz]

as someone who's been follow dr jaquish and been a part of his online community and seen PLENTY of transformations, gonna give you a tip... you will not need to any situps bro (like you mentioned in the first 30 seconds)! the cardio is fine though. unless you just want some extra core work but it will possibly prove to be over kill for you. ive owned the x3 bar since late 2019 but I have health issues so I can't get the most out of it but what im able to achieve with what im able to do, is amazing!

[@jonesr227]

I was interested in getting the X3 bar until I saw a tweet form Dr Naiman where he didn't recommend it.

[@Aircheekz]

looks like you should drop down to the dark grey band doc for your squats instead of using the black band. the ego lifting won't produce optimal results with x3. go to dark grey and get more reps in... no shame in it

[@Rezagnus]

ive been doing inverted situps with a teeter...i was told today that we are not supposed to do that because it will mess up your back... can you offer any opinion o that topic?

[@deanpaulson6714]

Doctor chauffe I read a theory that the phenomenon of extreme danger strength ( fight or flight mums lifting cars to save kids etc ) is through engagement of a " special " set of fibers that can only be used for 1 > 3 secs and can ONLY be engaged when the life is sensing danger ! Do you think that not eating could mimic this after.24.to 36 hrs for fat adapted athletes? I norice a definite increase in alertness and state of heightened arousal ( danger ) the hungrier I get ! This could be a sports performance hack ?

Hey doc! I used to lift heavy weights. Had a stroke. So I'm allowed to lift light weight foing repetitions. Could I use these bands instead of lightweight. Or is it too intense?

[@Mmmmkaaay]

This seems challenging for you. Is there a way to reduce the resistance for wimpy arms like mine?

[@blinkyschannel]

Yeah definitely, you can get lighter bands and even some of the meat head have to use lighter bands for certain exercises. A lot of people make the mistake of trying to go too heavy too fast

[@dianahenderson3777]

Too expensive for me. I am 70, a woman and would love to do these exercises to build up muscle and bone strength but don't think I need all the optional bands. Would love it if there was a suitable setup for a person my age and gender for a more affordable price. I am 90% carnivore, reasonably fit and take no medications. But would love to improve my fitness for the coming years. I don't intend to be a frail "old lady".
