Arthur Jones on Letterman

[Mr Nobody]

Arthur was a asshole but a smart asshole. He trained Arnold, Sergio, Casey, Boyer and the Mentzer Brothers all pretty much quit due to the hard work involved but all made gains. Discuss.

[Mr Nobody]

Let me go ahead and out myself on this apparently no one likes Letterman here or gives a damn about Arthur Jones.

"If I were to grab you by the throat, and choke off your air supply, it would immediately become apparent to you that oxygen is absolutely essential for life. If I were to lock you in a room with no water, after several hours, the degree of thirst you would experience would indicate to you that water is a requirement for life. If I were to lock you in that room with water, but no food, it would take a little longer, a matter of a couple of days, before you would be ravenously hungry, and there would be no question in your mind that food was absolutely essential for life. However, it often takes years before ones body begins to show the harm done by a lack of proper exercise."

"Now we have millions of people who care about exercise and perhaps a couple of dozen who know anything about it."

"The number of scientists who know literally anything of value about exercise are equal to the number of thumbs on your left ear."

Good quote - Arthur was a madman/smartman in life and excercise.

Spot on - I actually got to train for a week at the Nautilus hdtrs in Florida once interesting but boring. I think the principles work whether using barbells or machines but the reasons why the bulk of the bodybuilders never adopted them are - Its very hard training brutal, the environment there felt like a hospital no music, no pretty girls ie killed my motivation - training is limited to a few days a week most BB's are gym rats and want to be there more. Some of the great ones adpoted the pricinples with a twist ie Yates, Mentzers and others with results coming quickly.

[spinnis]

Not just the training part. He just shares my thoughts on ALOT of things.

"In the history of the world, only three people have made meaningful contributions to the development of exercise equipment: FIRST, whoever invented the barbell, SECOND, Dr. Gustav Zander, THIRD, me and a short list of people working under my direct supervision.

A great mind no doubt when he sold Nautilius it went belly up - he just demanded so much out of people I think thats it worked when he had it. In Deland FL the headquaters there snakes, gators, etc he instilled fear which maynot be the best principle but it worked

[Mr Nobody]

Casey Viator youngest Mr America ever to this day never really got any better after he left Arthur in my opinion.

I have a really stupid theory that goes like this. Basically, in your first year or so you gain the most muscle, but because you arn't experienced you cannot put the same amount of stress on the body that you can in later years. So why not try and keep going like that, why not keep the stress to a minimum, even though you can put much more stress on more easily, keep workouts very short and simple so you can grow.

Might not make sense.
