Today we're talking about testosterone replacement and unpacking the novel concepts of progressive overload and variable resistance training—both methods to gain, and keep, muscle mass in your body without living in the gym.

I’m joined by strength expert, entrepreneur, past guest of the show, and PhD, John Jaquish. John has spent years researching and developing improved approaches to health. Inventor of X3, a technology that is proven to develop muscle much faster than conventional weight lifting with the lowest risk of joint injury, Dr. Jaquish’s methods are used in training the world's most elite athletes as well as Olympians.

Aligning with the most basic tenet of biohacking, if you can achieve all of your physical or athletic goals in half the time of your competitors, why not explore the option? John is as gracious as he is informed in this one, detailing the benefits of variable resistance training and indulging me in a super deep dive into diet and nutrition experimentation, testosterone replacement therapy, and efficient muscle growth.

You’ll learn what he eats every day to look as good as he does. You’ll get repetition-count-specific recommendations on ultra-quick workout routines. And you’ll learn the very surprising amount of carbohydrates I ingest every single day (a number that will shock many of you).
