I Tried The X3 Bar Every Day For 30 Days

[@Dirty__Dan]

As a truck driver, I am able to do the X.3 system inside my truck, it is very convenient for somebody who is always on the move and doesn’t have access to a gym.

[@The_Conspiracy_Analyst]

Same. I got the HandyGym though. You should check it out.

[@operationpredator]

Props to you for still getting that work in and not making excuses! That's the way to go my man.

[@Ronnock]

Now *that's* a testimony!

[@JBZACK2001]

Me as well Driver, and cookin steaks with my air fryer!

[@FiligreeRacing]

@@JBZACK2001one thing you can look into is Mountain House, and Peak Refuel on meals. More than grocery store, but cheaper than truck stop. They sound gross, but they are actually extremely good. Mountain House is lower calories, but good for losing weight or if you are supplementing protein drinks/snacks in. Peak is more calories and hard to work in extra snacks/drinks if you’re trying to hit protein goals.

[@Besokool]

Just an FYI for all who are interested. YT gamer body put an x3 replica system together, for less than 1/4 price. A simple stepper as platform, an innstar bar, Undersun bands, and triangle carabiners. Same exact feel in the workout - chunk of change in my pocket.

[@tankmoore7059]

I purchased one last year. Along with a dip station and a doorway pull up bar. I feel that this is all I need in my setup. I have ZERO desire to ever step foot in a gym again. I was skeptical of the the bands until I felt the tension for myself.

[@lejayparker3074]

Love hearing this. I just bought the x3, have some adjustable dumbbells, peloton bike and adjustable kettlebell. The last thing I planned to get was a pull-up bad and dip station. Felt good about it but your comment affirmed it. Thanks my friend.

[@tankmoore7059]

@@lejayparker3074 no problem. I owe too much in gains not to have it always available 😁

[@alessandropeveri1782]

I've been using exclusively x3 for a couple of months now after a bad low back injury. Lost a lot of muscles particularly in mu legs and back. I must say that seems that i'm regaining muscolature fast, deadlifts, squats and rows are doing wonders on my legs and posterior chain. I'm sticking to Dr. J split, and for now, given the results, i think that i'll continue to use solely tbe x3 for next months

[@genewaggoner6449]

Same here. I do x3 and pull ups in my farm shop. Never will go back to a gym.

[@CorporateQueen]

Bought the bar..ten mins a day, totally transforming my body. I'm 52 female, some ok muscle, knee injury. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@Sundazs]

Were the bands too heavy for you? I'm a female and concerned I won't even be able to use it.

[@depropst]

@@SundazsIt’s common for beginners to need lighter bands. I did for the several of the moves. Serious Steel makes lighter orange and purple bands that are great for X3.

[@Indydi]

@@Sundazs Did you ever find out about the bands? I'm wondering if they will be too long. I'm trying to decide between X3 or a Harambe T-bar coupled with Serious Steel bands. I do like that X3 is so portable, but the Harambe bar is said to be much smoother, and it's a little bigger.

[@stpaulphillip]

"This is the best home workout system I've ever experienced". That says it all right there. And I agree. Nothing beats X3.

[@MidwesternMethod]

Thanks for this comment! Yes, I am a big fan of this device, especially when I'm crunched for time or can't go to the gym

[@Piccolo_Re]

Great review. I agree it just can’t replace a gym workout and what you can do with actual gym equipment. It’s good if you don’t have much time or travel a lot. However, if you don’t feel drained after doing the workout plan, then you’re not going until failure. I feel dead after my X3 workouts and I am extremely winded, and my cardio is pretty good too.

[@MidwesternMethod]

Thanks for this comment! I still use mine!! Love it when I travel

[@qEnergize]

4:38 Definitely not going to absolute failure then. I was in a similar position to you in terms of having been weight training for many years before getting X3 (all forms of it from bodybuilding to more powerlifting type stuff; I've seen and been through it all when it comes to weights) and without doubt when an X3 set is done PROPERLY and to COMPLETE FATIGUE/FAILURE to where you legitimately can't even move the bar anymore despite your best efforts, it's got to be up there with some of the hardest resistance training exercise you'll ever do in your life. Some people just can't hack the intensity it brings when done properly unfortunately and that's on them. They just won't see the full results of what the product can bring...

[@marceloovg1873]

Sounds like a sales shill....

[@qEnergize]

@@marceloovg1873 Definitely not. By the time I'm done with front squats with the Elite Band I'm literally sprawled out on the floor barely able to even stand up for a good minute or so and can't walk properly for another 4/5 minutes after that.

[@mushshrap6471]

@@marceloovg1873 I can't speak for the X3 specifically, but I've been working with bodyweight, weights, and bands for the past 2 years. I can say for certain that I personally feel the most exhausted after going to failure with bands.

[@romanmclean5425]

I use resistance Undersun bands , i agree with you, people are not doing this x3 bar workout with the right intensity and always to fast , iv'e never seen anyone do this x3 properly, 2 seconds eccentric, and 2 seconds concentric. I will add i also have never seen anyone other than the inventor himself put on 60 pounds of muscle or even 30 pounds of muscle in a year.

[@tedlessor3887]

Bands let up push yourself to its limit without injury for sure. The most intense workout I ever had was with bands.

[@buddyryan875]

I have a ton of muscle memory and gained about 20 pounds mostly muscle in 2 years. If you have joint injuries from lifting this is absolutely perfect. It does get boring doing the same exact workout for prolonged periods now I mix in some other things but X3 full body is still done 1-3 days a week

[@MidwesternMethod]

Thanks for this comment. I used mine today and yesterday. Tomorrow, I'll be in the gym

[@backagain5216]

Thank you for an honest appraisal Buddy Ryan. I’m still trying to figure how I’m going to go as far as a home gym.

[@buddyryan875]

@@backagain5216 I was in a similar place my joints could no longer do real weights. The bands not only built strength without the joint stress... they also greatly rehabbed the joints

[@someonethatisachristian]

Well i use regular resistance bands to vary with my multigym since my shoulders dont like shoulder press that much for some reason, but together, if i take a month rubber bands and 2 months on the multigym for example, its dynamite.

[@mreverybody1150]

I would be very interested in you doing the same for the Synapse CCR! They have a 30 day money back guarantee too.

[@patb5266]

I've been training for 25 years and have used quite a bit of equipment coupled with many nutritional plans. This looks a good system to me as one can get healthy and fit with something like this and a good nutritional approach. I think it's a bit high in price but considering a gym membership can cost about the same in addition to going to a gym and it's a good overall value. I may add this to my training regime. Thanks

[@MidwesternMethod]

Thanks for your comment! I still.use mine regularly

[@guyjeb]

1 year later, did you ever finally set the time on your Stove? 🤣 I swear I'm not a Troll. Your review helped me after reading the book. Thank you.

[@MidwesternMethod]

LOLOL Still blinking!

[@jazuluss]

I mix up the X3 system with crossfit workouts w/dumbells. Works great for me.

[@KurNorock]

The thing about this system people always forget about is that the equipment is only half of the equation. To get the maximum results, you have to also follow the recommended diet that goes with it. That diet (which is a carnivore diet) fundamentally changes how your body functions, including building muscle and burning fat. The fact that this guy outright dismisses the book without even reading it just shows how dogmatic people can be. So i can guarantee he didn't follow the recommended diet.

Even if he did, he wouldn't see the benefits until maybe three months in. The adaptation period is often not accounted for.

[@dkingpin74]

I completely agree. It is a 12-week system for starters. Also, it's a big suprise that a personal trainer recommends the gym. Also, the limited video of him actually us8ng the X3 was shorter than the commercial for the product he was plugging.

[@richbrake9910]

I think you have to give something at least 60 days, but thank you for reporting to us. BTW, results are great! That would be six pounds of néw muscle in a year if that same progress continues...I'll take that any year! That would be 30 lbs in five years at that rate. Jessie, do you have an interest in Magic Mind?

[@MidwesternMethod]

@@richbrake9910 I would love to sustain that rate of growth, for sure!!! Thanks for your comment! I still love Magic Mind

[@RambleStorm]

If you have the space you can find budget options really good ones if you wait for a sale for that kind of money I got something like 120kgs in weights 2 benches, 1 set of bar supports, dumbbell bars, and a barbell bar for something like 500EUR(also a 2 bands for very specific workouts) and you can get away with less if you really wanna(there are tons of every effective bodyweight exercises that can make up for lack of equipment, you do need some though)...so working at home if like me you're time constraint is definitely doable effective and you don't need to go to a gym unless you're at least intermediate level(I think?..not sure on that not at that level yet...but you could probably get to something like 150kgs on a barbell in a home setup...didn't see barbells rated for more and also supports don't often go beyond that either...) because then the cost of pro equipment isn't justified for home use unless you have the cash for that convenience.

[@thomdushane]

I would say a pair of dumbells... insanely cheap 1" pair on offerup or even amazon. Not to diminish bands, i believe they have the capacity to work (harambe guy is a great example) but the dumbbells can add weight in a simple, reproducable way

[@TrollManPro]

Any updates?

[@dmp762]

Thank you for the honest review. The price is what makes me unsure about the X3. Have you ever tried the Xbar? I was considering it because it's a lot cheaper.

[@MidwesternMethod]

Thanks for this comment!! The X3 is the only one I've tried. I'm sure there are cheaper options that are probably just as good 👍

[@Simon71235]

2x delta quick link M10 3/8, one set of Undersun fitness resistance bands, one platform The Step Aerobic Platform, one pullup bar, everything found on Amazon. For a total of $ 200.

[@lonerangersheriff]

Hi Jesse. It works for me pretty good. I’m 60. Testosterone replacement seems to be the magic thing for any and all gym goers. I’m not taking TRT though because I can’t see paying 💰 to be me. I supplement with creatine, aminos, and a good multi vitamin. Semper Fi!

[@MidwesternMethod]

My dad is 75 and he loves his. Since making this video, I have relegated my X3 usage to time when I am on the road, but it still gives me a nice workout! :)

[@lonerangersheriff]

@@MidwesternMethod outstanding bro

[@juezmoral58]

Besides loop bands you should have singles with handles, use loops for compounds at low reps with 1-3 seconds explosive. And then single bands for isolation "bodybuilding" at 2-2 seconds cadence and higher reps. Add some dips, pull ups and single legs and you wont ever need a gym.

[@mitchjames9350]

From what I have seen I think it’s a great supplement to your training also it’s great way to keep healthy and fit if you don’t have the time. A good homework out would be bodyweight exercises, X3 Bar and Kettlebells and free range weights.

[@dextertate5723]

Hello guys could someone enlighten me, some people say that you can get weird torque in the bar could someone who already has the x3 bar please explain it to me so I can get a better understanding thank you.

[@seattleberlin]

I think if you find something that works and you use it, that’s a win. I bought the XBAR (like the X3) and a really use it all the time.

[@mdnelson2007]

Thanks for this Jesse! I had seen this too and had the same reaction as you. I can see this being a great supplement and good for travel. Thanks!

[@ronstrode9124]

Where is tricep exercise?

[@LivingTheLifeRetired]

What do you think of range of motion? Your squats didn’t even come close to parallel and didn’t see much effort on your hamstrings. Maybe this beats a hotel gym for a day or two.

[@MidwesternMethod]

Legs is the weakest point for the X3. The size of the bar made it very uncomfortable for my frame. Where it shines is deadlift, chest, and shoulders

[@allwillberevealed777]

Resistance bands are amazing. That X3 bar is expensive though. I use resistance bands with a sissy squats machine I bought for $25 and use that as a platform. There is a small enough gap in the bottom to slide a heavy band underneath it. Secondly, I use a pull up tower for other different workouts. That said, I am never going back to machines or regular weights. The resistance bands burn the muscle immediately. No joint point.

[@Ronnock]

You should see this guy's rebukes against even skeptics like yourself, let alone total naysayers.

[@MidwesternMethod]

I've seen it :)

[@Ronnock]

@@MidwesternMethod wonderful. What gets me is the idea that we shouldn't be loading the tissue consistently through its entire ROM or fibril lengths. Wouldn't this mute our body's ability to be strongest at its weakest?

[@charliepan4055]

Even more convincing would be a beginner and results after 3 or 6 months.

[@MidwesternMethod]

The problem with a beginners results is that pretty much anything will create results for a beginner. But the 3 to 6 months is a cool idea!

[@joshuaglass1827]

Alot of trainers have been through the rigamarole of getting big and realized it's just suboptimal for a sustained lifestyle. Breaking 3,000 calories daily and putting that stress on your joints is a taxing lifestyle, and is not the epitome of fitness. Its just one of the subgenres for lack of a better word.

[@petercsigo3314]

A sad part is that each year there's enough stupid people out there who buy into these exercise equipment feds. Some of these equipment can be quite pricey. I've got the same result with resistance bands bought it at Walmart for a fraction of the price.

[@fitzy28101]

This could easily be made with a trip to home depot.

[@CorporateQueen]

And that's fine but I like the extra support, the personal pages on FB, the customer support and the community. It's not just bands. I didn't get ripped off ...I was well aware of what I was buying into.

[@Blackthorn869]

No. You didn't. These bands are not Walmart bands, and this program, if done correctly, is not for the faint of heart. I've been lifting for 20 years, and there isn't a freeweights workout that compares. It's just a totally different type of fatigue in the muscle and the soreness you get from it isn't comparable. Not in intensity or whatever, just in the overall feel. Its.... Deeper, somehow. I love lifting weights, I have the X3 bar and free weights and regularly use both. The X3 is way less impact on my joints than the weights, and if I want an insane burn I'm hitting the X3. But for you to say that you "got the same exact results" from cheap Walmart bands is laughable and ridiculous, and I do mean that in the literal sense.

The fact that he claims lifting is not needed is a disservice and possibly a detriment to young and old. The older you are the more likely you need to lift unless you want to be an old immobile person😢 Marketing is ok as long as it isn't harming people but that's a harm because people may believe him because Dr. Is in front of his name.
