You may have heard me talking lately about the "giant robot" in my gym - an advanced piece of exercise equipment built with a powerful two horsepower engine. It is the primary means by which I have been becoming "strong as a bull" of late with only three 20 minute strength training sessions per week.

I've known about this crazy machine for years, but finally got one installed in my gym about 12 weeks ago and the results have been unparalleled.

It's called the ARX.

The ARX - which stands for Adaptive Resistance Exercise - is a mashup of single set to failure training and superslow training that can be used for extreme efficiency strength training or for rehab. The ARX technology “biohacks” strength training with a computer-controlled, motorized resistance that is capable of matching any force you produce, giving you a perfect rep with every rep.

Unlike a traditional weight training machine that requires you to adjust the weight with pins or plates, there is no need to set the resistance while using ARX. Instead, the machine applies opposing resistance in direct proportion to what you are producing at each moment in time throughout an entire rep. The entire effort for that one single set to failure is then measured and displayed by the software in real-time.

Special Offer Two years of additional ARX care (hardware warranty – parts & labor), bringing the total warranty to three years for all of Ben’s listeners.  Episode sponsors:
