[@joshie2985]

I’ve been lifting weights / building muscle for 18 years and the last 2 years I have been using resistance bands only, and have put more muscle on in the last 2 years than I did in the previous 17. I don’t have Dr Jacquish’s equipment but use something similar (a bar, resistance bands and a base plate). I used to do up to 2 hours per workout lifting conventional weights but now I spend no more than 30 minutes, one set per body part. I’m far stronger now than I was. So to all the haters, try it before you knock it.

John is a real PhD. Meaning Piled high and Deep in BS. It's shocking how much nonsense this guy can spew with no push back. I can only think the reason she didn't push back is because the things he was saying was so embarrassing that she just wanted the interview to end. The guy actually said in 20 years of weightlifting he only put on a pound of muscle. As a retired strength and conditioning coach who worked with Division 1 athletes, I can assure you everything this guy is saying is an absolute lie and he's just trying to sell his products.

I think this guy just called me stupid. At 65, on an extremely restricted diet, due to complications from a full jaw replacement, I gained 25 pounds of muscle in 6 months. My RHR and vo2max are now athletic level for my age. And I can complete an ultramarathon with minimal preparation. ZERO steroids, diet gimmicks, special equipment, etc. Just basic science, hard work, and determination to be a role model for our unhealthy senior population. I agree with most viewer comments here. He was not a good guest. Some people at the gym aren't the most intellectual individuals. And some may have an inflated ego, or be overly vain. But the only stupid ones are those who pump garbage in their body to look good. If you are at the gym, and at least making an effort. I would never call you stupid. I suggest the next guest be someone who makes your subscribers feel good about themselves. Not question their intelligence.

So I have numbness in my jaw and other areas,.More importantly, a skeletal imbalance, and stability issues when lifting. I replace higher weight, with increased repetitions, and intensity.

[@joshie2985]

I read his book. There is real research involved and my personal experience is that using resistance bands as he recommends really works. He’s only saying weight lifting is a waste of time because he’s promoting training with resistance bands, because it’s safer for the human body and more effective at building muscles quickly.

[@eloelo6944]

Nobody can put on no 25 pounds of muscle in 6 months at any age without steroids. 25 pounds in a year maybe if your training is on point, bulking the whole year, you have good genetics and below 40. Maybe you put on 25 pounds but most of that was fat and water weight but no way that much muscle.

[@jeffhresan2886]

My story. Started resistance training for the first time at 70. I weighed 148. I was losing lean muscle mass for sure. I started working with 20-25 dumbells and different resistance bands for one year including one mile on a treadmill, (20 min) from home, for a total of 90 minutes every other day. Faithfully! I started drinking a quality protein shake after every workout mixed with creatine. After one year I now weigh 162 and I can assure you that 100% of my weight gained is muscle. In closing, I look more cut at 71 than when I was 30. I feel GREAT and extremely confident that my decision to take action has delayed the ravages of aging. Total cost of equipment less than $100.00. All things are possible!

[@danielwhyte9172]

From what I understand, this guy got his Degree online, originally built his muscles using traditional methods and seems to be on a heavy doses of Testosterone.He also doesn’t seem to have any idea about biomechanics in terms of resistance training. No, bands are not optimal in any way shape or form. In fact the resistance curve of bands is the complete opposite to the strength potential of the muscles ie. muscles have more strength potential in the stretched position

[@EspíritoSantoNess]

[@chevelleman88]

Let me spoil this for everybody… It all works… Everything works, a mixture of many different things works. It’s just a matter of how much you use them when you use them and how you mix them up. Genetics and nutrition matter, but almost everything has a time and place.

[@SoloEmpireOfficial]

100% right. That’s why it’s so confusing in the fitness industry. Everything works and nothing works at the same time. You have to find the truth somewhere in the middle and actually put things to the test.

[@chevelleman88]

@@SoloEmpireOfficial Right. What I really mean is everything can work to one degree or another and has its place at a given time or another. There’s just a lot of other factors that would dictate what you choose and when. Bands work. Weights work. Bands and weights together work. Chains work. Body weight works. Something can work amazingly well, but if you’re on the same exact program 5 years later, you’re probably doing yourself a disservice.

[@IaintAI-m9d]

I agree. However, I would say that there isn't enough attention given to mindsets behind the physical requirements. You can try everything out there. But if you don't have the mental focus to execute any of it properly. You never discover what's best for you. I created my own routine, based on varied research, and feel, during workouts. If I had adhered to what most trainers preach, I would never be performing as well as I am. I would have placed limitations on my peak performance. For example, most of the industry says it's dangerous, or not possible to maintain zone 5 cardio for more than a minute or so. I have some workouts where I maintain it for an hour continuously. I built that endurance up with a mindset, that is all about pinpoint focus, symmetry in movement, efficiency, and absolute control of the activity. I intend to "bully" that treadmill every time. It would be difficult for me to teach the mechanics, or routine I used. Because it is so varied, and instinctive. However, the mindset part might be easier, if you had a truly serious student. Most people want to achieve athletic level. But in my opinion, most don't, because they expect others to provide the game plan. The first thing would be to find the mindset that truly motivated you. Then use a combination of routines, in conjunction with what you feel comfortable with. We need to look at ourselves first. Then we can incorporate what others teach.

[@BVicente12]

I'll keep myself open to any train of thought. But as a 67 year old who just started weight training about 5 years ago, I can tell you that with fairly traditional static weight training, I've put on about 25 lbs of muscle. I wasn't that weak to start out with, but my deadlift doubled (from abt 200 to 400 lbs), squats and bench presses went up well over 50% during that time. I'm experimenting now with BFR, so I'm pretty open. But the blanket statement that static weight training doesn't put on muscle doesn't seem correct to me.

[@StarvingMyselfToLIFE]

but my question is, has this improved your over all health or has it only made you stronger? Does getting stronger translates to better overall health???

[@Phil-0-Suffer]

The point was missed. Exercise is simply keeping the body in motion. Building muscle is different. Do bigger muscles equate to greater overall health? Doesn't seem like body builders are at any less risk for disease as non body builders.

And would have made their strength and fitness goals, including for some, bodybuilding contests and titles, using rubber bands? That is laughable.

A perfect example of "if you call out the correct idea as false, you get away with it by making the situation a case of 'my word against your's.' " The PHD community doesn't wanna say he doesn't know anything cuz they'll mean they're admitting they let a complete jackass get the highest level of recognition of academic achievement.

We aren't designed to lift heavy stuff? Huh? What? This guy has never seen the strongman competitors. Uh yeah I'd say they're designed to lift heavy stuff! We've been doing it for thousands of years. This guy must be annoyed with centuries worth of people 😂

[@CarbageMan]

I'm pretty happy with my kettlebell and heavy club momentum exercises, which are improving my core strength. I've mostly stopped doing weight lifting, although there are some exercises I continue with weights for connective tissue therapy.

[@TheBlueskyson]

kettlebells are weights too bro. keep it up

[@TheBlueskyson]

Do you move the Kbells in any way? Compound is good.

[@CarbageMan]

@@TheBlueskyson Yes, I do a variety of classic movements with both kettlebells and heavy clubs. I follow Mark Wildman of Wildman Athletics for guidance. Compound dynamic movements are better for whole body and core strength and not very useful for sculpting.

[@scottharrison5734]

Can build decent Bodey with bands dumbbells anything progressive just so many people want short cuts wonder how long bands last befor wear out heavy set dumbell adjustable done with time under tension isometric holds would be as good

[@bradyshannon8452]

I think He was leading up to the concept of Variable Resistance training. I've never heard of "Variable Resistance" as a training protocol, but, I'm going to look further into this. I follow the 2 Reps in Reserve method for every session. I'm assuming this is instead going half weight on occasion? I don't know what this means, and he didn't explain it.

[@unclegeorge7845]

So how do we put the muscle on?

[@championchuck777]

Aww..sorry to hear that. Bcus weightlifting is sure working for me. Now bands do have it's place for speed work and vacation trips before you hit the pool party. lol

[@86twin]

Band would work for people who travel for work because every hotel isn’t equipped with a gym and even then the machine is broken half the time

[@Quest4us]

Dr Gabrielle Lyon, I found this very odd that you decided to upload this bizarre video that contradicts almost everything you have stood for. 20 years of weightlifting and he gained just one pound of muscle. ???

[@bboyspawn5891]

He trained with weights for 20yrs and probably ate like crap for 20yrs. He has bloat like a power lifter. I still dont know what is he is telling everyone to do differently.

[@bboyspawn5891]

Oh wait after clicking on some other videos I found what he is selling. Its a bar connected to bands lol. It might work great, but he did not think of this on his own. Ive seen machine equipment use bands before in my high school days, which was 22 years ago. Looks like a safer way to exercise at home, but if you dont stick with it like weight lifting the end result with be the same no matter what. People lack motivation to stay or get into shape.

[@davidwaller1872]

Unsubscribe button just pressed. If you have someone like this on your podcast for any reason other than to call them out and expose them as a con artist, then you yourself are not to be trusted either.

[@PianoPatterns123]

There is a video on KZbin where a German sports trainer did some research and said that he got his degree from a diploma mill. I have no idea if it is true. But, that is what the KZbinr said. I would like to see what school he actually went. Also, tell all the millions of body builders around the world who have built up their muscles and strength that weight lifting is a waste of time. I think not.

[@Soul_of_a_Robot]

Claims harvard on some bio but his diploma is indeed from an unaccredited online source

[@alan2a1l]

I appreciate Dr Lyon & I use the X3 system. That said, in this short outtake video, Jacquish didn't do a great job in explaining his approach, why/how it works, and didn't say anything at all about his dietary approach which is basically keto/IF. He would do better to deliver a clear, positive message, rather than just trash free weight lifting. People judging resistance band training based on most of the bands you can buy are using a straw man. X3 bands, the bar, and platform, allow for a serious amount of resistance, which most of the others don't.

[@larsnystrom6698]

Actually, the idea of variable resistance training is well implemented by Arthur Jones and his Nautilus machines. Probably much better than rubber bands. Although not as portable. Personally, I think rubber bands are clumpsy, except for warm-up.

[@alan2a1l]

@@larsnystrom6698 you make a very good point about the Nautilus system. The cam is designed to solve one of the same key issues that the x3 system is dealing with, which is the initiation of the movement at the weakest point of your muscle & tendon strength. The cam is designed to lighten the load at that point, but after that, it's a constant preselected weight. The X3 system is continuously variable which admittedly is more a function of the system itself than of your muscle strength curve, although a fair approximation. Both are compromises. But talking about "rubber bands" and the X3 system is apples and oranges, or at least Fujis & Pippins. With the bar and base plate, the X3 system is solid & consistent & well-designed & can be used in a disciplined program. It's not "clumsy", though, I'd agree, typical cheap bands, with or without handles, are. I used Nautilus machines for years & like them a lot, but had to quit several, as the adjustments available weren't sufficient to tailor to my body and I had some injuries using them. I haven't had that issue with X3, though some very tall guys wanted (& got) a wider bar. I'm 6'1" & have no problem with the system as-is. YMMV.

[@BionicBoom88]

My X3s bands broke. Guess I am going to have to use weights now since it's a complete trash system if you are actually strong. Very good for beginners though.

[@Al1z-d4y]

Thanks to the comments section I’m not gonna go ahead & watch this full video 🙌🏽😂

[@lokionthelowkey9664]

Image lifting weights for 20yrs and then in an interview saying how stupid people are for lifting weights.

[@broncobilly4029]

Hello, does swimming provide variable resistance that he's talking about?

[@lucillasallabank]

I am not clear about how people should weight train in his opinion

[@jeneeobrien]

They say it at the end. “Variable Resistance Training”. I think he is trying to say he was frustrated by working hard to make muscle gains but going about it the wrong way. He is not exactly eloquent but his point is that the wrong message has been out there and repeated ad nauseum, despite evidence to the contrary that variable resistance training shows tremendous gains versus static weight training. My best guess. :)

[@ulfsjolen8768]

271 / 5 000 It would be valuable to have an account of the 16 studies mentioned. I am absolutely sure that it is more effective with strength training in machines or with free weights as the muscles are trained focused/strictly from 12 to 40 repetitions. John Jaquish only gets commercial time from Lyon in this episode.

[@robertleblanc3151]

Isn't he just describing the concept behind Nautilus equipment that was developed by Arthur Jones in the 1980's?

[@dc611439]

Yes, he is. This is old science recycled in a new way he is pretending to discover. Item of note, Nautilus through Arthur Jones and pushed by Mike Mentzer came out in the early/mid 1970s. You know who were great bodybuilders during that time who didn’t use it for training? Schwarzenegger, Ferrigno, Columbo, Platz, Robinson, Olivia, etc etc etc. Maybe he should get a Time Machine and go back to 1975 and tell all of them that what they are using to train isn’t working.😂

[@steven_dekok]

I'm 54, been lifting since I was 12. I put on a lot of muscle over the years. This guy is so full of crap. Kudos to Dr. Lyon for having patience with this guy but I would be embarrassed to have this guy on any podcast.

[@nickelbothello6210]

True and this guest has a big belly too probably just drinking alcohol instead of protein shakes

[@user-bd4bo4tb8u]

If she wants a Ph.D., Brett Contreras is great. I’d love to hear a long interview with him, but he’s probably too busy training people…

[@kerryobrien71]

Enjoy Gabriel's channel, but this is a poor guest and episode, much of what this guy is saying is complete rubbish and goes against much of the evidence and common sense. The reason that no one else is doing and saying what he is, is because it is rubbish. He should have been challenged on what he was saying. Though I'm sure his response will be those studies are biased or those people are stupid. The arrogance of the guy is amazing.

[@truthseeker713]

I totally agree in this dip he es nothing but put down everyone else. While not giving any advice whatsoever. He is one of the most narcissistic guests I have ever seen on any KZbin video. Why she would even put this on her site is beyond me.

[@colinhartl7540]

What did Arnold do again?

[@bjack6084]

I just don’t understand this video he keeps talking about lifting weights is not the answer, so what is he doesn’t have any other solutions to talk about

[@mikell5087]

How to say what the subject tile of the video is without actually conveying any useful information. "Variable resistance training" is the answer given, but there was zero discussion of that in this video.

[@geo525252]

The best, most productive system of exercise is the one you can stick with and that will be the one you enjoy. I look at the X3, working out alone and at home...boring. I'm sure it works for those that like it and stick with it. So does my routine in the gym lifting weights. Why? Because I enjoy the gym and like lifting weights. He has a decent sales pitch for the uniformed.

[@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS]

I'm not really sure what this video was about. In the last 30 minutes he mentioned variable resistance training which I don't know what that is

[@WriteMeASong7]

Variable resistance?

[@alison5884]

I bailed at the mask comment, though I was tempted to do so earlier. Looked up John Jaquish PhD ... He got the PhD from "Rushmore University" ... "Rushmore University is an unaccredited institution of higher learning offering online degrees in a variety of business-related fields, exclusively via distance learning. It has been described as a diploma mill, providing illegitimate academic degrees and diplomas for a fee." I don't know much about Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. Her qualifications seem legit at least. But she's lost any hope of credibility with me by giving this guy this exposure ...

[@geoopa]

I've been involved in bodybuilding for just over 45 years. There is a lot to untravel here and wish I was conducting the interview. There was only one word i heard during the whole interview towrads the end that hinted towards how to put on muscle quickly being "resistence" The title is a scam, the content is very questionable and the only thing that made this worthwhile watching was the incredibaly sexy interviewer. However i can relate to one important point he raised beiing that he thought he was getter bigger when in fact he was just getting fatter and related that back to weight lifters. Anyhow interesting perspective, I just don't buy it.

[@abrin5508]

I'd have thought any form of exercise or resistance training is good - doesn't matter if its bands, weights or body weight (sure, might to be more specific at advanced level). Not saying bands are bad (I use them myself for some exercises) but saying the other stuff doesn't work is obviously nonsense.
