Do X3 resistance bands build muscle or tone?Updated a month ago

X3 and the X3 12-week Program are for building strength! 

X3 resistance bands help stimulate muscle growth and, therefore, strength by allowing better stimulation during the entire range of motion. The variable resistance of the X3 bands allows you to load more force on your muscles in your strong range than compared to free weights, thus triggering better growth.

Your dietary choices will largely dictate whether you bulk up your muscles or tone your body with the X3 system. If you want to put on a lot of muscle, you will need to make sure you are getting 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. If you want to get “toned” or “cut,” you want to focus on fat loss.

Getting toned is just losing fat so that you can see the definition in your muscles. You will want to look into intermittent fasting and try reducing as much sugar as possible in your diet. See the X3 12-week program’s nutrition recommendations.

If you are an advanced X3 user who's interested in muscle size and growth, check out the X3 Hypertrophy Program.
