Find it online for free and read. Just read it for the first time in my 35th year of training. Amazing stuff. This is the essence of his philosophy. It is HIT at its purest and most efficient. Not the watered down Mentzer version...nor the pussy footing Ellington Darden version. This is 1970 and Jones immediately prior to training Casey Viator. Long read but fantastic. If his 1970 theories had stayed the bible of HIT.....many more would have benefited. It is higher sets but still low. Warmups. 3 days per week. Faster powerful rep speed. And not worrying about how many reps but training to crazy failure with cheating reps and partials added to the set. It is all out madness.Goid stuff from the original.

I agree with you. It is just one of many means. Some enjoy such all out effort. Some prefer long hours in gym. Both are valid.

Well.............if that's your stance. Why then are you boasting your use of Deca? Not trying to hate on you, however your posted picture reveals a build of a junior maybe senior in high school, and that's after using Deca?

Well just from an observational standpoint. Your build does not reflect the use of real heavy compound multi joint movements in the gym. I can see you suffer from a light thin frame. Yet have you tried the approach of heavy compound movements? These exercises will beef you up really well if your motivated enough. Too many times a see guys going for the juice for their gaines before they find the right training program. I can tell by your build you lift weights, but your secondary muscle structure is thin and shows no sign of real trauma associated with heavy compound movements.

i am literally obsessed with keeping a tiny slim narrow wasitline
so the only heavy compounds i would do are bench, behind neck press and weighed chins and dips
i do them from time to time but the vast majority of my focus is shaping exercises
I dont wanna wiegh more than 175-180
now im sitting @ a buck 68
these turds nowadays are 50 pounds heavier than bbs from the 70-80s
but 25 of that is in their guts and the rest is on thier legs back and delts
FUCK DAT NOISE :-X :-X

Funny with HIT guys is that they go on and on about how high volume and frequency is so destructive, but brief sessions of stubbornly adding the lbs every workout till you pass out, puke, or lay twitching on the floor is somehow joint friendly and beneficial.
The methods of training run the entire spectrum of conflicting ideologies, and you have self made pros from all of them. What they all share is the genes, drug use, and passion for it. That's what it boils down to.

Yeah, still remember his battles with Kenneth Cooper:
Now, before somebody jumps to a wrong conclusion and assumes that I approve of either aerobic exercise or Kenneth Cooper, let me say that most aerobic-style exercises are worthless for any purpose, many of them are dangerous to the point of insanity and that Kenneth Cooper is a borderline idiot who knows less than nothing about productive exercise. Too strong, a rash statement? No, quite the contrary: in 1975, while I was conducting research at the U. S. Military Academy, West Point, Dr. Cooper sent two of his associates to West Point for the purpose of conducting an extensive battery of tests in order to evaluate the cardiovascular results of the exercises that our subjects were performing. But then, afterwards, Cooper was so surprised by the results that he not only refused to believe them but even refused to read them.
We had, in fact, produced far better results in six weeks than Cooper could have produced in six years, or even six decades; results so outstanding, by Cooper's standards, that he considered them impossible. Even though, I repeat, these results were measured by Cooper's own people, using testing protocols determined by Cooper himself. Outstanding degrees of cardiovascular improvement that were produced by very brief, but very hard, exercise performed using Nautilus machines, with no so-called aerobic exercise of any kind. Potential results that were ignored by Cooper at the time and still remain ignored, even unsuspected, by the vast majority of scientists even today.

he said this high amount of cardio was causing disease so he said train not more than 3 times a week for less than one hour for health

He first thought strength training had no merit whatsoever, that it was purely cosmetic. Now we know it reduces insulin resistance, boosts immunity, helps prevent osteoporosis, and other things. He was wrong.

i used to think that you needed cardio to get ripped, but i was wrong

Interesting note....Clarence Bass says that the 2 biggest influences on his training since the mid 1970's were BOTH Arthur Jones and Dr. Ken Cooper. Jones for the HIT and. Cooper for turning him onto doing daily cardio on non-hit days.

There is no such thing as "fitness" or training for "health". Health is the absence of disease. Everything else depends on your goals and what metrics you want to improve.

That's not true. Being sedentary has been shown to be detrimental to one's health.

Yes, health is the absence of disease, and research has shown that exercise drastically decreases the chance of getting a disease/disorder.
As such, one indirectly trains for health by preventing diseases/disorders.

Health is not something you train for or a goal to be reached, by that definition just doing anything no sedentary would be fine, like walking. Walking isn't training.

if it is just all drugs then why don't you at least have a competitive physique for a novice Men's Physique competitor?
At certain levels drug use is a factor, even for people who don't compete.
But you don't even have that on or off gear so it comes down to laziness and/or not eating enough of the right foods for growth and recovery.
you are a good guy DJ but if you are going to make statements like that at least have the goods to show for it or STFU and let the adults talk
-
Cooper found that cardio was very important for health. Hell, it's important for the fighting arts. What he did find is after a certain point the health benefits level out and extreme cardio can be unhealthy for some. He said if you are running more than 3 miles a day you are trying to improve your athletic ability and not your health.

LOL! Classic Jones! Just a brilliant man. I can't help but smile and shake my head that anybody can read his works and think that it was all a fraud and a gimmick to sell his equipment (which began the real advances in exercise equipment) and to squeeze in more training sessions to keep more cash flowing into personal training sessions. And those making those claims forget that during that time personal training was not a cash cow for anybody.

Cardio lowers risk factors toward ill health. If bodybuilders had to show their heart muscle in a contest they would train the hell out of it.
The more cardio you do the lower your resting heart rate is. That shows your heart muscle is more efficient and stronger. Cardio lowers blood fat in the form of triglycerides. Cardio lowers visceral and subcutaneous fat. People can increase their HDL lipids by doing regular cardio. It can change the HDL to LDL ratio. Cardio increases red blood cells that carry oxygen. It can lower high blood pressure. Cardio clearly lowers blood sugar in most. There are other risk factors it can lower. Guys that don't do any cardio are shocked at their lack of endurance when they box or grapple for the first time. I've seen bodybuilders after boxing 2 minutes can't keep their hands up due to exhaustion as the skinny boxers go to town on their their cosmetic opponent.
Regarding Nautilus there was a good study that showed after 12 machines most trainers barely used 100 calories during their workout. Increasing cardio capacity was another failure. Apparently the spike in heart rate was too short to significantly increase cardio capability. Medical doctor Ken Cooper is a legend in exercise research concerning lowering risk factors from the lack of exercise. Of course genetics trump all. The other Ken is a chiropractor back cracker. Not a scientist.

You bring up some excellent points that merits consideration and debate. One of the things Jones did for me, and many others, was to think and reconsider the various theories being promoted at the time, mainly through the muscle rags and bro science you would find at your local gym. With no internet and little, if any, serious books on the subject, this is all we had. Jones offered a different perspective backed up with logical (at least to him) arguments and real world experiments and left to the reader to think it through and ask himself, "Does this make sense?" That is what I would like to do here.
First off the blanket statement that "The more cardio you do the lower your resting heart rate is." is simply not true, and, so not true that I really don't want to argue the point much other than to say that any blanket statement that states "the more you do the better the results" just doesn't pan out in real life ever as diminishing returns, indeed, regressive returns, is always the end result when taken to it's logical conclusion. One can literally run himself into the ground and even to death when taken to extremes. But perhaps I am taking your claim too literally.
The heart operates more like an organ than a muscle, which we tend to associate with the class of skeletal muscles. Like organs and unlike muscles, it does not get stronger and more efficient with use any more than say your kidneys or liver and even your lungs. It gets worn out. The contractile force and the size of the heart is predetermined at birth. For the contractile force of the heart in general to increase and get stronger it has to get bigger, just like your biceps, and to some extent it does but only marginally so as it is limited to the size of your chest cavity. Just like your lungs. Your lungs can only get so large to increase oxygen volume but only marginally due to the limits of your rib cage size.
So though the heart, per se, doesn't increase much in strength and efficiency your cardiovascular system as a whole does. Increase size of arteries and veins, capillary and blood vessels, though individually is quite minute, taken in totality it makes a huge different. Blood and oxygen transfer, in addition to an increase in red blood cells, is vastly increased resulting in better conditioning and not the strength on your heart any more than the size of your lungs increase oxygen transfer.
Now, it is quite true that a bber will gas out in the ring when compared to a skinny boxer. But how will a boxer fare if required to squat his body weight? Can a 200lbs boxer squat 200lbs or even 150 pounds for fifty reps? I witnessed Benny Podda at 225lbs squat 315lbs for 50 reps. The average person can't do fifty reps in the squat with just his bodyweight. I would deem the chunky 5'5" Podda to be in pretty good condition compared to the average Joe and even the average athlete in regard to functional ability.
The point being is that I have found, both in personal experience and observation, is that your body is very activity specific. Meaning that extensive strength and conditioning in one activity is not proportionately transferable to another activity. We find this in strength training. At my best I was able to do 315lbs for six reps on the bench. I then stop benching for around nine months and instead did bench on a machine or used dumbbells instead. I increased the weight, and presumably strength, substantially on both movements but when I went back on the bench I could only squeak out 3 reps. Did I get weaker? I mean, my body weight was a bit higher and the weights I was using were greater in those nine months, yet my bench went down. Was I weaker or just "out of practice" in benching?
I had a training partner that I introduced to Jiu-Jitsu and I always considered him in superb physical shape as he was a marathon runner. At that time I felt marathon runners were the epitome of cardiovascular fitness. I mean, running 26 miles? At the time driving my car that distance I considered iffy.
Anyway, much to our surprised, this marathoner found himself gassing on the mat. He could not keep up with me. This was puzzling to both of us but at the time neither of us gave it much thought. We were on different schedules and didn't train much together but two years later we met up again. He was a much more formidable opponent this time around and his conditioning was superb and I found that I was one the dragging. We joke about the time two years earlier when he couldn't keep up with me despite being a marathon runner. He then told me that he gave up marathon running and there is no way now he could get through a marathon. He said he cut his running way back and nowadays even an 8 mile run was taxing. Yet he was tireless on the mat.
Did he lose cardiovascular conditioning or was he just out of practice running?
The legendary wrestler Dan Gable, know for his superb conditioning, was once asked what was the best exercise to improve one's wrestling condition. He replied, "Wrestling."
Perhaps there are other factors involved other than pure cardiovascular efficiency that determines one's stamina and condition as it pertains to a specific activity.

Not a scientist.
Also, I think it is important to clarify what Jones means when referring to "cardio" or "aerobic conditioning" at the time. Cardio, as used here, was defined to mean a separate activity involving low intensity and relatively long duration. This was contrasted with the primary anareobic activity associated with weight lifting. That being performing a set that takes anywhere from 10-25 seconds to complete and resting anywhere from a minute to three minutes. In other words, the resting/recovery stage exceeds the activity stage.
Jones' "Nautilus" protocol required one to train the muscles anaerobically and the body aerobically. In other words, just like circuit training, you keep moving. You train your muscles to failure, i.e. anaerobically and then move on immediately, or as much as your conditioning allows, to the next exercise. You improve both size and conditioning at the same time.
I ask you, if you took identical twins and had one do a 30 minute Nautilus circuit in the Nautilus fashion consisting of full range motion of pulling/pushing, bending/straightening, squatting/leg curling versus one who did 30 minutes of running or biking, which was the traditional cardio primarily done at that time, whom would be the better overall conditioned athlete in regard to strength, stamina, and flexibility; the primary factors in predicting one's athletic potential?
I remember when I was first introduced to a pure Nautilus circuit back in 1978 along with some members of our football team, all athletes and regular lifters, we ended the 30-35 minute workout the same. On our backs sucking wind.
I am hesitant to comment on the study you site regarding the 12 machines used and only 100 calories expended as no information was given regarding the intensity and duration of the workout but, and no offense intended, I do doubt the veracity of either the study or your recollection of it as the average 200lb man burns approximately 86 calories while asleep. Just 12 calories less than going through an entire 12 exercise routine in the traditional high intensity Nautilus style. With our football team we did only nine exercises and I would be quite surprised, as we laid there on our backs heaving for air, that we only expended an extra 12 calories than if we were asleep for an hour.

They are similar in the sense of high intensity circuit type training but everything else about Cross Fit Jones' would absolutely, positively despised. I would not be surprised if he were alive today that he would be leading an anti-Cross Fit movement.

Anyone that does HIT long enough ends up tearing shit.
People say HIT is good because of Dorian. I say the reason Dorian tore shit was cos if HIT.
Dorian would have been just as successful with his work ethic doing traditional volume sets without tearing shit.

I don't think that is entirely accurate. I've been doing HIT in one form or another for almost 40 years never having a muscle tear. And most, if not everybody, associates HIT with the bbers Mike Mentzer and Casey Viator not Dorian Yates. Though Dorian incorporated many of the principles of HIT, primarily the emphasis on high intensity and reduced volume, even Mentzer said that Dorian didn't practice HIT espoused by him and Arthur Jones. I have no doubt Jones would go into a fit watching Dorian perform alternate dumbbell curls.
Also, more trainees have torn muscles doing volume than HIT but this has nothing to do with volume training but rather that more people incorporate that style of training. Injury/muscle tears occur when the tensile force imposed on the muscle exceeds the fibers capacity/ability to accommodate the load. This occurs not by intense training or even "heavy" training but by doing explosive movements. Ronnie Coleman and Branch Warren, both volume trainers when compared to HIT, are prime examples of using poor form and explosive movements and have paid dearly for it. One of the features of HIT is controlled movements especially in the eccentric/negative portion of the movement. It's the difference between velocity and acceleration. That is why you can sit comfortable going at 500 mph on a jet airplane whereas going from 0-30mph in one second will snap your head off. It's the difference between pushing your fist as hard as you can against a brick wall and punching it.

This. Try training like Dorian with that level of intensity with that many exercises that frequently drug-free and you'll burn out, he still did way too much for a natural to recover from between workouts.

No you upregulated MRNA via resistance training, ergo encouraging new cell growth providing all other bases are suitably covered.
There was no shaping going on, muscles have insertions and bellies, you got what you got....it can be made larger, but shaped....c'mon, you will be doing high reps for toning next man!

so you are trying to tell me that rope overhead tri ext dont stress the long head better thab kickbacks?
or that hammer curls dont create more bicep width the concentration curls ???
isolations hit less strands of the muscle
compunds wake up everything

EMG test shows amounts of activation in muscles when completing exercises, some recruit more fibres than others, true.
However this doesnt mean that ones with lower muscle recruitment are shaping exercises, not mass builders - they may be less effective, but not differentiated from.
Tell you what, if you trained to all out failure, it wouldn't really matter what exercise you picked for such a small muscle group, it would all get worked to a degree.
I hardly do compound for triceps anymore, yet they still grow, not change shape!

allright bro, thanks for the cool feedback
honestly i just like spending long time in the gym

I love training too....would go everyday if my body/work/life would allow.
But train smart...
Expending calories for the sake of it, when it will not translate into further muscle damage/growth, seems a bit retarded to me if you are trying to sculpt a physique...

but it isnt just drugs, it is the right drugs for you
so you gotta experiment and see which ones work best for you

if you follow it precisely it's actually very flexible
lift weights 3 times a week
that can be full body 3x or full body on one day plus an upper and lower body day (each bp 2x per week) or upper body lower body alternate ( avg of 1.5x per week) or any way you prefer to split up the body in three 1x per week
I'm good with 3 or 4 workouts per (weights only) per week

One of things that Jones has contributed vastly is making others think more about what is actually
going on during resistance training and how muscles function and spotting foolishness a mile away. But you're always going to find posts/comments like this. Claims with zero logical thought and nonsense/bro science terminology.
"Less strands of muscle". "Wake up everything."
Um, OK.
"Hey Tom, you do realize during that set you've still missed some strands of muscle and haven't woken everything up."

I think people who spout this type of stuff are confused about EMG tests and muscle recruitment.
The EMG tests show how much of the muscle is activated by a particular exercise . Training intensity is a totally different variable.
Interesting to see EMG tests on Platz doing the above...
