Fact – On April 30, 1973, pre-experiment measurements were taken of Casey Viator's body composition by Dr. James Johnson, Associate Professor, Department of Radiology, Colorado State University.
Fact – Casey Viator, age 21, at a height of 5 feet 8 inches, had a starting weight of 166.87 pounds. His percentage of body fat, as measured by the "potassium whole body counter," was 13.8 percent.
Fact – The experiment was conducted from May 1, 1973, through May 29, 1973, for an elapsed period of 28 days.
Fact – No special food supplements were used. No growth drugs or steroids were engaged. A reasonably well-balanced diet was consumed, with Viator eating six meals per day.
Fact – The last week of April 1973, 20 pieces of Nautilus equipment, including some negative-type prototypes, were delivered and moved into Dr. Elliot Plese's Exercise Physiology Laboratory at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Fact – Arthur Jones and Casey Viator flew into Fort Collins and remained until the end of May.
Fact – Arthur Jones personally trained Casey and pushed him to his limit on each exercise. Viator's routines averaged 12 exercises. Each workout averaged 33.6 minutes.
Fact – Viator's ending body weight was 212.15 pounds with 2.47 percent body fat. That was an increase of 45.28 pounds of body weight, which included a loss of 17.93 pounds of fat.
Fact – During the first week alone, Viator gained 27.25 pounds of solid muscle. Repeat: That's 27.25 pounds of muscle in 7 days, almost 4 pounds of muscle per day. The facts show that during week 1, Viator gained 20.25 pounds of body weight and lost 7 pounds of fat, for a total of 27.25 pounds of muscle mass.
Fact – Viator's overall muscle mass gain in 28 days was 63.21 pounds. That was an average muscle mass increase of 2.26 pounds per day.
Almost as ridiculous as some of the claims on the political board.
