Can I use X3 without the bar or plate? Can I add other exercises?Updated a month ago

Let’s go over relevant weights: You cannot use heavy banding alone in any useful way for strength development other than rehabilitation. This is because, in your strongest positions, you are actually seven times stronger than you might think you are based on the weights you can lift.

To exert the body's massive power delivery capacity and fatigue yourself, the forces required become too high for smaller joints to handle without being correctly aligned. Resistance bands by themselves twist joints, causing pain, potentially damaging the smaller bones and tendons in the wrists and ankles, and preventing you from applying these high forces.

To address this, we developed and patented an Olympic-type bar (the X3 bar) that can handle over 800 lbs and a second ground (the X3 ground plate) to protect and properly align both the wrists and ankles. When this is done correctly, you truly access your body’s capability in a way you have never seen before.

Take a look at some of the high forces that can be achieved with X3, and you will understand why keeping joints neutral is a top priority.
