In this episode,we dive into the science behind the X3 Bar and how it revolutionizes strength training compared to traditional gym weights. Discover the concept of hypoxia—essentially a lack of oxygen—and how constant tension from the X3 Bar maintains muscle contraction throughout each set. Stephen explains how this continuous tension pumps blood into the muscle without allowing it to leave, ultimately regulating myostatin and enhancing muscle growth potential. Learn why this approach can lead to more effective and safer muscle building compared to traditional weightlifting and blood flow restriction bands. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or new to strength training, this episode will shed light on a cutting-edge method to maximize your fitness results.
