He is also in charge of building the curricula used to train customers in the optimal use of the technology. (ARX Academy, live CE, brand development.) He believes ARX is an idea whose time has come. The benefits of resistance exercise are no longer the exclusive domain of those who know their way around a weight room.

Adaptive vs Resistance Training – How Does Adaptive Training Compare to Traditional Resistance Training? 

[00:01:38]   Nothing has changed in the area of resistance training in over 200 years. Barbells and dumbbells have limitations because gravity acts on them differently depending on the arc of the curve of your motion. Machines with pulleys and cams take better advantage of gravity. The weight is in a stack attached somewhere on the device and uses gravity to create resistance. In the age of computers no one has yet been able to create some sort of logic that would affect the resistance to take better advantage of it, until now. ARX is at the threshold of a completely new paradigm in resistance training.

[00:03:40]   How the ARX machines and the use of computer technology for resistance training came about:

• Arthur Jones, the inventor of Nautilus, experimented with motors back in 70’s and 80’s
• It was too big and too expensive
• ARX was invented around the premise of NOT trying to eliminate friction.

[00:06:42]   Jim explains how he ended up working for ARX.

[00:07:58]   Picture of a 3-year body transformation exclusively using the ARX.

[00:10:55]   Sprinting obliterates visceral fat. ARX is to resistance training what sprinting is to steady state cardio.

[00:11:59]   Our strength pattern changes 3 times in every movement:

• Stronger in the beginning than in the end
• It changes between eccentric and concentric
• Different joint angles, moving into and out of different ranges of motion

[00:12:26]   ARX’s motor provides adaptive resistance, which means moment by moment, the machine is responding to you at all times.

• The highest possible quality of muscle contraction, is as hard as you can go al of the time
• ARX provides the ability to do maximum effort throughout the entire range of motion at every joint angle concentrically and eccentrically through all reps.

[00:19:25]   Data show that the relationship between eccentric peaks and concentric peaks changes with every rep, because the eccentric strength fatigues a lot more slowly than the concentric strength. The gap between negative and positive grows as the set continues.

[00:20:01]   ARX offers a one-to-one equal on both concentric and eccentric with whatever it is you're capable of producing as you resist the irresistible.

[00:29:08]   ARX offers 2 models of machines

• Alpha – built around the leg press, chest press and row (the big 3)
• Omni – is a complete gym in 1 machine

[00:33:00]   An overview on why ARX’s stimulus is so targeted and why so little is required, because more can be counterproductive:

• Exercise and the results thereof are broken up into 3 phases – stimulus, organism, adaptation.
• Stimulus (the workout).
  • Consists of mechanical tension, muscle damage and metabolic stress.
  • It provides a stress on the body.
  • This stress is damaging (catabolic).
• Organism (the individual).
  • The body responds to the stimulus.
  • The response is to repair the damage from the stimulus (anabolic) through sleep, nutrition, and relaxation.
• Adaptation (the results).
  • Improved body composition.
  • Increased strength.
  • Better response to injury.
  • Enhanced bone density.
  • Improved tendon and ligament resilience.
  • Enhanced metabolic health/conditioning.
  • Balances and improves hormones.
• ARX believes that the catabolic and anabolic states should be balanced to achieve optimal results – thus train hard and with intensity, but not for long periods of time.

[00:36:40]   ARXs’ intensity offers more mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage in greater magnitudes through adaptive technology.

[00:36:59]   When researchers compared adaptive resistance training workouts to traditional resistance training programs, they found that participants who performed the adaptive resistance training lost a higher percentage of body fat and made greater improvements in VO2 max than those who performed traditional resistance training. Additionally, the adaptive training sessions were highly time efficient, lasting on average about 15 minutes, whereas the traditional resistance training sessions lasted 45 minutes.

[00:38:08]   ARX’s adaptive resistance provides access to these greater levels of mechanical tension that make it possible to get the same or better results than someone who's just lifting weights.

[00:37:00]   Very interesting explanation follows of how ARX’s adaptive resistance technology was put to its first major research test and published in the Journal of the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Find a link to the blog post at the end of the show notes.

[00:43:39]   A fascinating explanation ensues on the subject of how VO2 max improvement is happening on muscle level and not in the heart and lungs.

[00:47:42]   The study outcome:

• Adaptive resistance training is superior to traditional moderate-intensity resistance exercise at improving muscular fitness.
• Relative to moderate-intensity resistance exercise, adaptive resistance training elicits larger reductions in body fat percentage and a greater improvement in VO2 max. Dr. Dallek who was leading the study, highlights the improvement in VO2 max as a substantial finding, as such improvements usually result from cardiorespiratory exercise, not resistance training.
• Adaptive resistance training achieves favorable training adaptations in a time-efficient manner, as it required approximately one third of the time of the moderate-intensity workouts. The average ARX session was 15 minutes in duration while the average weightlifting session was 45 minutes in duration.
