Variable Resistance Training System
X3 Fatigues Muscle Faster Than Weights
Weights overload joints and underload muscles, limiting muscle growth. Now, there’s a better way.
With variable resistance training and X3, you mirror your body’s natural strength curve: higher forces in your strong range and lighter forces in the weak range.
Variable resistance is the most effective way to build muscle, and X3 is the most powerful and effective variable resistance training system created.
- More resistance where your body is stronger
- Complete muscle fatigue for greater muscle gains
- Over 600 pounds of available force
- Full-body muscle-building workouts
- Less risk of injury than traditional weights
About the Inventor
John Jaquish, PhD, is a Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Weightlifting Is a Waste of Time. He is the inventor of OsteoStrong, a bone-density-building medical device that has reversed osteoporosis for thousands and created more powerful, fracture-resistant athletes across 300 clinics worldwide.
While researching bone density, Dr. John Jaquish discovered a sevenfold difference between the weakest and strongest ranges in weight lifting. The discovery led to the invention of X3, the ultimate muscle-building system.
Dr. Jaquish’s latest invention, X3 Force, adds real-time force tracking and data-driven workouts to X3’s proven variable resistance training methodology.
Dr. Jaquish is also a research professor and a nominee for the National Medal of Science.
Dr. John Jaquish’s 365-Day Transformation
Like many others, Dr. Jaquish spent hours in the gym every week to look moderately fit.
Eventually, he developed a better way of working out after years of injuries and frustration.
In two years, he put on over 45 pounds of muscle simply by training with the X3 system, supplementing his protein intake with Fortagen, and streamlining his diet.
Train Like an Athlete
Trusted by the World’s Best Athletes
Weight lifting causes joint damage and limits strength-building potential. For many elite professional athletes and championship teams, the injury risk is too high—and the returns are too low.
More and more athletes are turning to X3 to build muscle and increase strength. It’s the workout system of choice for football great Terrell Owens, MMA legend Forrest Griffin, and the NBA’s Miami Heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Most resistance bands cannot handle a heavy amount of force. 99% of bands, even resistance bands for pull-up bars, are made from a petroleum-based material. This weak material will snap with enough force. X3’s heavy-duty resistance bands are made of layered latex, which is extremely powerful and far more powerful than most bands. X3’s bands can handle over 600 pounds of force when used safely with the X3 bar and resistance band ground plate.
- The X3 heavy-duty steel ground plate creates an anchor point for the resistance bands during heavy-load exercises such as front squats or deadlifts. The X3 ground plate gives you a wide base to loop the resistance bands under so the forces are spread out equally against your feet, protecting your ankles from the heavy forces. Made from solid steel, it provides a strong resistance band platform for full-body exercises. See how the X3 bar and ground plate protect your joints.
- X3 Bar is a full-body variable resistance training system. With X3, you will get the included X3 12-week workout plan, which provides careful instruction on proper form and an efficient workout routine that’s easy to work into your daily routine. The X3 12-week program consists of the most effective strength training exercises, such as squats, chest presses, bicep curls, and deadlifts.
- The recommended rep range is 15–40 full repetitions. For example, when you get started, you may only be able to do 15 complete repetitions of the chest press with a particular band, but you will need to keep working with that band for that same exercise until you have worked up to do 40 full reps. At that point, you will need to move up to the next band. If you cannot yet do 15 full reps with a band on a specific exercise movement, you will want to move down to a lighter band and work towards 40 with it first. The partial reps are essential but don’t count towards the 15–40 reps. See more about which band to use and how many reps.
- By maximizing the force applied to the muscle at all the ranges you, X3 takes your muscles to a deeper level of fatigue. Therefore, one set is all you need per exercise. Learn why an X3 workout only has one set.
- $14.99/month for access to the X3 Force mobile app. The X3 Elite does not require any subscription and the X3 Force app only works with the X3 Force.
