The Nautilus Bodybuilding Book

Rating:
Summary: Still ahead of its time........
Review: ......This book was written in the early 70's based off of scientific research of what works and what doesn't in training. It is by far the most forward thinking and logical book on the subject...I treasure my copy for giving me new found focus in my training with results due to high intensity with minimum time..............Needs to be put back into circulation to set all the misinformation aside that exists amoung the uninformed and market manipulated public............

Summary: Trend whose time has come again
Review: Arthur Jones, more likely owing to his personality and the toughness of this fitness regimen, never got the ink that Weider or Kennedy or the other fitness writers have. That's really too bad. The information in this book is sound and extremely practical. Arthur was one of the first to bring up the "to failure" principle. This has gotten some bad ink lately, but the truth cannot be denied. All of the meso-cycles,macro-cycles, and periodization "protocols" in the world will not accomplish what elbow grease will. This book provides a nuts and bolts primer and will produce miracles if you actually have the guts to apply it. The only thing that I have bad to say about the book is that the examples are based off of the old Nautilus machines. This is a minor point though, as the examples can readily be adapted to whatever equipment that you have at your disposal. Ignore the hype of modern commercial contributions in this genre, and opt instead for a copy of this book. I have yet to see anything in print, despite all the sticky hype and commercial push, that has improved or disputed anything stated in this book, and due to it's age, you can get a used copy shipped to you for next to nothing.

Summary: excellent first class
Review: One of the best research facilities is the human mind. Many valid answers regarding exercise can be derived with the use of sound premises and logic.
The h.i.t. principles are based on accepted facts. Most of these facts are not new. They have been known to the scientific community for more than 100 years. Arthur Jones and Ellington Darden did not discover or claim to discover any of them. He merely assembled them into a logical framework to provide valid conclusions about high intensity exercise. No one had done that before. Or really has done
The h.i.t, philosophy is the only exercise philosophy that can be derived logically from the facts and principles of the classical sciences. Does that necessarily make h.i.t. correct? No. And it does not necessarily make illogically conceived approaches to exercise wrong.
But logic does confer on h.i.t. a high probability of being correct for building great size and strength but most people cant tolerate the pain and intensity of this kind of trading yes it is the hard most properly the hardest and most result producing there is but most people back away
first class better that all the other miss leading books aound 90% dont work and do have the science backing
this is excellent first class
