This is probably one of the best interviews of Arthur Jones on film. The host did not insult Jones, and asked him meaningful questions, therefore, he got excellent answers rather than snark from Jones.
I agree. In this interview one can clearly see the impressive intellect of Jones, while in other interviews he is merely portrayed as an arrogant asshole. I have to read his autobiography.

Arthur Jones was a hell of a Salesman. I don't agree with everything that he says - but I like the old coot. Arthur Jones' Autobiography is available online for free - and it's very interesting. Arthur certainly didn't lack self-confidence. Arthur also looks like he didn't get sleep for a couple of decades.
Nautilus was the first top of the line corporate gym I can remember. It was all the rage in the early 80's. Looking back these machines were engineering marvels and works of art. Many are still considered the best ever developed. I moved on to a hard core bodybuilding gym as soon as I could drive and Nautilus soon went out of business. Still had a life time membership to Nautilus which I bought for $99.00 which tells you its on the way out. Great memories and experience that helped me establish a health , strength related lifestyle I still enjoy today!
Very observant of You, Mr. DJCoon. I think it's due to the respect that Mike Mentzer had for the late, great, Arthur Jones. I still mourn the loss of Mentzer. He was a phenomenal Bodybuilder, and intellectual. He did much to destroy the myth of the stereotypical "Dumb uBodybuilder". Mike displayed a brilliant mind that could not be ignored. There are many highly intelligent Body builders like, Frank Zane who was a Math Teacher, and Bill Pearl, The First Black Mr. America, Chris Dickerson, who was a Professional classical Opera singer, Dave Draper, Arnold S., John Grimek, Steve Reeves, Ellington Darden, PhD., Dorian Yates, Dr. Hubbard, Jerry Brainum, Ken Hutchins, Bob Hoffman ( coached USA Weight Lifting team to 5 Olympic Gold Medals) Joe Wielder, millionaire Fitness entrepreneur, Dr. Doug McGuff MD and So many other remarkable Bodybuilders and Weight Lifters. But, because of Mike Mentzer's combining Bodybuilding with the Greek Philosophy of, Logic, and his scientifically research regarding Hypertrophy and physical strength, it displayed a highly educated mind of Bodybuilders that the Public was ignorant of. After hearing Mike discuss Hypertrophy, Mind/Muscle connection, the Hinnemen Theory, and other complexities of Bodybuilding, the Public became aware that Bodybuilders are quite intelligent men and women. Anyway, My sincere Thanks to You, DJCoon for Your valuable input.
Besides Nikola Tesla, Archimedes & Leonardo Da Vinci...Arthur Jones proved he deserved to live at least another lifetime or two. Although Jones did decline the prospect saying "Once around the ride was enough for him".
Lawrence Hosannah Myse unfortunately I don’t. I’ve been looking for more myself. Too bad we didn’t have smart phones back then otherwise we’d have tons of material. But, Drew Baye is his predecessor for the most part so you can learn a LOT from him.
@@JayVincentFitness thanks for your response... It sucks that there's not more from Jones..maybe Ellington Darden has more. I've read some of Bayes work and listened to him talk.. I'm not that impressed by his work as i think it's too rigid. I think HIT pontificating can do a number on the brain if you slip to far down the rabbit hole... Ha
Lawrence Hosannah Myse that is certainly true. Many people will focus too extensively on the small details that will never make a difference and end up believing it is the difference between having a poor and good physique. But that’s the bodybuilding and fitness industry in a nut shell. Drew does go into great detail but does remind his readers and listeners that these small details don’t make a noticeable difference at the end of the day. Darden just says the same thing over and over again in different books lol I have almost all of his books.
Geniuses they say, are born not made. His quote" we can deal with ignorance not stupidity and the latter is genetics", says it all, the present day world order.

Hail Arthur the man who lived akin to a time machine much ahead of, even the present crop of the so called exercise experts!!!!! Latheef .
He often was saying that. But not he's quote. He quoted many things, but never bothered to say from whom? Not that he should, I'm just saying. That is why many people overinflate he's abilities. Highly intelligent person, no question. But very calculated and had only profit in mind. Make no mistake, no social worker here.
Absolute genius... The original nautilus machines are still superior to the best machines found in gyms today... The Only Exception would be perhaps X-Force machines which are both very rare and predicated on his principles...
I've used the X-Force machines at Gainesville Health and Fitness Center. Most were poorly designed and the transitions were not smooth. Several of the machines were already out of order, after having been there for only a few weeks. I'm surprised they are still in business.
@@DrewBaye my personal favorite were the Nautilus machines. I have far less experience with X-Force machines although I like the principles on which they are predicated. Personally, I would take a cycle of first or second generation Nautilus machines over any other machines today, for HIT training
@@DrewBaye i graduated in 1973. there was a guy in maynard mass named charlie who drove a texaco gas truck. at his mothers house there was a gym downstairs . i think it was 1.50 / workout. it took my my friends about 30 minutes to get there, so it was more of a treat. there was a bill pearl curl machine and first generation nautilus. i was in heaven .
OFCOURSE HE WANTED HIM AS HIS REAL FATHER BUT ARTHUR WOULD REJECT MIKE AND BAN HIM FROM THE PROPERTY NEVERTHELESS MIKE WOULD DEFINE JONES AND MARKET THROUGH SOMETHING KNOWN AS HEAVY DUTY .LIKE FATHER LIKE WANNA BE SON.
"rotary" The interview didn't even lead to all his points completely, e.g., the 9 points weren't discussed completely, just skipped. Forget about any scrutiny regarding his claims, they just glided over everything. Note that Arthur didn't actually answer how he wants ppl to use his equipment for "100 units of results" but started off on how not everyone has equal muscle gaining capacity What kind of interview was this?
2021 gyms have machines people do way too much cardio strength training gets you stronger over time as a personal trainer for many years adapting as you improve
So he uses Arnold Schwarzeneggar as his example of having a freakishly developed physique that many cannot even develop using his highly superior Nautilus equipment. Well the problem with that statement is that Arnold did everything contrary to what this man teaches. He did not use Nautilus equipment to build his physique and he did not use HIT style low volume training. He used the outdated inferior barbell and lots of volume. Why on earth would he use Arnold as an example? Lol Nautilus machines are a great tool to build a good physique but they are obviously not the only show in town. Would Arnold have built a better chest on Nautilus machines alone instead of all that wasted time on barbells and dumbells?? This stuff sounds intelligent and convincing but in practice it's not that cut and dry. I'm not at all saying that Jones and Mentzer did not have some great points because I believe they did. But all the interviews I heard, they never seem to address how the thousands upon thousands of bodybuilders have built world class physiques without using HIT and Nautilus. They make it sound like anything other than HIT and Nautilus just don't work very much. How can that be?? Both natural lifters and juiced lifters have had great results without ever using Nautilus or HIT. Why is that?? And why not address that? It's like they completely ignore that and pretend it isn't so. At least give us a logical answer to that. They just say it doesn't work or it works sub optimally but then we see the greatest , most freakish physiques of all time build without following his HIT principles or using Nautilus machines. Once again, I'm not saying HIT and Nautilus are no good. I'm looking for the common denominator that makes both methods work. Why avoid that discussion. Does anyone have some insight into that discussion? I'm interested in that and I'd love to hear. I built lots of muscle drug free on a mix of both methods in the sense that I usually took my last set to failure but I also did more volume than Jones suggests. I also have seen guys build big chests with push-ups daily. Even bigger than some other guys doing strictly weight training. I tend to think the human body is a lot more complex than Jones can understand or explain. I'm still connecting the dots 20 yrs later
Jones was selling his product, and therefore wasn't interested in presenting the truth about barbell lifting. Nautilus has practically disappeared, and even guys like Dorian Yates, who is credited with building his physique using HIT, still used barbells and warm up sets. As you said, the reality is that barbells, and the full effort it takes to lift free weights, are ultimately superior, and consistently produces superior results, than Nautilus. Even guys like Mentzer and Viator built their physiques with free weights before moving over to Nautilus. Arthur was an interesting character and a brilliant man, but he oversold his own product, and millions realized they weren't going to look like Arnold from using HIT on his machines. Nautilus machines still have their benefits, as the pullover machine is arguably superior to any other technique for stimulating lat development.
Arnold loved the Nautilus Pullover. Joe Gold had one in the original Golds gym. Franco bought the biceps and triceps ext and kept them at Golds gym and they helped improve his arms. Although Arnold trained differently or not defined as Hit--- he trained hard and had a antagonist agonist training split. He felt that he couldn't get the full training of the muscle by rushing from exercise to exercise and he had a point somewhat. Guys like Franco, Dan Gable, and Casey Viator and Sergio thrived on it.

Genes are important but he greatly exaggerates the genes required to be a pro bodybuilder. It's hard work, PEDs, diet and rest. How do we know this? Look at the before pictures.
I disagree with Arthur...Give skinny Steve the same amount of roids that Arnold took and with hard training (if he's capable of it) he would be winning contests.... Even roided up women are huge...
I wonder if the general public (even the general exercising public) knew about the steroid epidemic that would eventually take so many body builder and powerlifter's lives in the 80s and 90s?
Arthur and Ell were absolutely wrong about steroids. However, steroids alone don't win bodybuilding contests. Genetics, training, and diet still play a huge part. Doctor Langer would never look like Arnold, no matter how much drugs he used. If you put 1000 people on the exact same drug regimen, exercise program, and diet, you will get a lot of different results. Genes don't just determine natural genetic potential, they also determine how responsive individuals are to certain drugs. The top competitive bodybuilders are the ones who are exceptional in both their potential for muscular size and proportions and their responsiveness to anabolics.
Incorrect. Steroids dont make champions. Steve doesnt have the genetics arnold has, more precisely bone density, skeletal structure, shoulder width, etc
Respectfully disagree in which "it was too good to be true" in the line of the machines. If it's too good get it out of the business and keep pushing the mediocre --if you look hard enough, you can witness that everywhere.
Free weights allow greater freedom of movement and range of motion. The only limitation in the barbell / dumbbell is your joints. Machines have constant resistance ( this is great) free weights have variable resistance (so machines can provide superior time under tension) Jones spoke clearly, authoritatively and with great vocabulary for his time. Most of what he is saying is wrong or CAP in this video. Great sales but lies. People fall for rich people who seem educated. Imagine how many other great men were completely wrong
It's amazing how much Mike Mentzer adopted Arthur's manner of speaking as well as training...
I was thinking that too
