Arthur Jones' "Nautilus Bulletins" may be the most important books ever written on exercise, both for the ideas themselves and their influence on others who would advance and refine them over the following decades. My goal in providing this new edition of the Nautilus Bulletins is to organise and layout the material for a modern audience. No changes have been made to Arthur's words; except for corrections in terms of typography, formatting and layout. Each RADLEY CLASSIC is a meticulously restored, luxurious and faithful reproduction of a classic book; produced with elegant text layout, clarity of presentation, and stylistic features that make reading a true pleasure. Special attention is given to legible fonts and adequate letter sizing, correct line length for readability, generous margins and triple lead (lavish line separation); plus we do not allow any mistakes/changes to creep into the original author's words. Visit RADLEY BOOKS at www.radleybooks.com to see more classic book titles in this series.

Arthur Jones created and ran the Nautilus exercise equipment company. This is a biography of when Arthur owned Nautilus, as written and told by me, William Edgar Jones; the youngest son of Arthur Jones. Read about the beginning of the company, and learn some of the inside information that the public never knew. This book covers the early years of Nautilus, until Arthur sold it to Travis Ward.As an inventor there were few people that ever eclipsed Arthur. As a business man, there were many that did. For years Nautilus ran on its own, unmanaged and uncontrolled, while Arthur pursued his hobbies and other fields of interest.Arthur spent money faster than a raging river; and the company somehow survived one disaster after another. Meanwhile I kept quietly in the background, trying to keep track of the ever increasing expenditures and trying everything I could to keep us afloat; while never knowing in advance just what Arthur was planning to do next.Younger women, Faster airplanes and Bigger crocodiles; Arthur had all three, and kept pushing the boundaries to see just how many of each he could have.An exercise empire, almost run by a Caligula, with a little Nero thrown in for fun. Rome burned, but fortunately Nautilus somehow escaped a similar fate.Join me for the roller coaster ride of a lifetime.

Explains the high intensity concept of weight lifting, and suggests routines for developing one's body

In If You Like Exercise... Chances Are You’re Doing It Wrong, author Gary Bannister tells us that “the power-to-be have all but destroyed the value of muscle isolation, discredited the use of machines in general, ignored everything related to the work of Arthur Jones and replaced it with a ten-cent solution.” He claims that until the field of exercise defines what is true and what is not, it will never have the impact that it could. Muscle strength, the only factor that can produce human movement and the only factor that performs work, is disappearing from today’s training regimens. This study and guide analyzes current concepts and training systems-such as Pilates, “functional” training TRX, cross-training, kettlebells, and more-and compares their benefits to those of proper strength training to provide a clear picture for everyone. If You Like Exercise... Chances Are You’re Doing It Wrong rekindles the high intensity strength-training principles of Arthur Jones, the founder of Nautilus. Bannister focuses on the concepts of intensity, form, frequency, duration, number of repetition, speed if movement, and muscle fatigue, supporting them with current research. Logically applied, proper strength training is the only system capable of satisfying all five potential benefits of exercise-an increase in strength, flexibility, cardiovascular condition, body-composition, and injury prevention.

A PAPERBACK ORIGINAL High-intensity bodybuilding advice from the first man to win a perfect score in the Mr. Universe competition This one-of-a-kind book profiles the high-intensity training (HIT) techniques pioneered by the late Mike Mentzer, the legendary bodybuilder, leading trainer, and renowned bodybuilding consultant. His highly effective, proven approach enables bodybuilders to get results--and win competitions--by doing shorter, less frequent workouts each week. Extremely time-efficient, HIT sessions require roughly 40 minutes per week of training--as compared with the lengthy workout sessions many bodybuilders would expect to put in daily. In addition to sharing Mentzer's workout and training techniques, featured here is fascinating biographical information and striking photos of the world-class bodybuilder--taken by noted professional bodybuilding photographers--that will inspire and instruct serious bodybuilders and weight lifters everywhere.
