The New Man

How would a scientist approach getting stronger and leaner? Is cardio getting in the way of your fat loss goals? And do we really need things to be a struggle in order to prove that we’re smart, special, or strong? Dr. John Jaquish is a scientist, inventor, and author of “Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time: So is Cardio, and There’s a Better Way to Have the Body You Want.” He’s very outspoken about how the fitness industry is a failure, and he believes he has the scientific data to back up his claims.
