I have no idea where in the world you got the notion that "Arthur Jones has held more massive conferences and published more studies at major universities and in medical journals than almost anyone in the fitness field", that is absolutely ridicules. Jones has never published a SINGLE scientific paper in a SINGLE scientific journal. Never. Ever. Please let me know of one article- since you claim this.
As far as the HIT/Nautilus training philosophy being used today by pro sports teams, I have not called every single strength coach for every single pro sports team here in the US-so I can't tell you what system they are using. Neither could you. But I do know a few strength and conditions coaches (for the Rams and San Diego State) and they do not use the Nautilus system (one set to failure 3x/week) or anything close to it.
I will say it again, Arthur Jones made WILD and UNFOUNDED claims about his training philosophy that had no basis in fact (as dd M Mentzer). He did this as a gimmick to sell his Nautilus equipment. Nautilus equipment is almost gone from the face of the earth today. That tells you if his bogus claims were the real deal or not.
I will give you two examples of Jones bullshit just off the top of my head;
1- The human skeletal muscle atrophies after 48 hours- so you must workout at least once every 48 hours of lose muscle mass (hence the 1 set to failure 3x/week). It has been scientifically PROVEN skeletal muscle does not show signs of atrophy for 21-30 days. No one today trains a bodypart 3x/week. The majority of BBer's train each bodypart once a week.
2- Do not make faces when training heavy- b/c this takes away muscle intensity. Holy shit-have you EVER heard something so stupid in your entire life. He actually said that! Try doing a 600# squat-or a 500# bench press with a straight face! That is one of the stupidest/dumbest things I have ever heard in my life.
These are just TWO of the hundreds of bogus/false/unfounded/snake oil claims Jones has made regarding his training philosophy-and it does not work. That is why today you no longer see Nautilus in any gyms, they are basically history.
Don't get me wrong though-the Nautilus pullover is one of the marvels of modern gym equipment-so is the double chest machine. But the equipment Jones invented does not make Jones any kind of training expert- by any means. He does not even have a college degree.
I think the idea of number two was to help in keeping your blood presure in check while training . |
