Arthur Jones, founder of Nautilus talks about many topics including the design of the Nautilus Cam, changing resistance curves in exercise and physics related to exercises.
Wish he was still alive, his wisdom would be invaluable today with all the nonsense floating around. He could really lift that veil with his intellect.
Praise to the most high for getting us the gift of the internet. This man was before my time and ahead of his. Happy to be able to experience his genius.
I had the pleasure of meeting Arthur in the early 70s. He was a true genius. The man was the greatest exercise genius that ever lived. it is staggering that his machines and principles have mostly fallen away. It is almost like discovering the car and losing that knowledge and going back to the horse and buggy.
More like a self proclaimed genius, yeah hats off for the machines but he was wrong about the training,his stupid macho failure training was just stupid, he was dead wrong and he didn't even took the time to establish some facts or doing some experiments because he was a genius of course how could he be wrong?

I have a duo squat machine. It’s the best machine I have ever used on my legs. Wonder why it isn't still being made today considering how effective it is
39:51 “But it’s criminal malpractice to recommend such a lift and yet many coach’s are doing it” and this is what continues to happen today except even more so with social media, so many unproductive exercises that are preached or influenced upon people. Let’s bring common sense and logic back to fitness
He was exaggerating everything, even is approach of balls to the walls macho one set to failure training was an exaggeration and in fact it doesn't work. Such a stupid way to train.
hey man can i ask you is this the ideal workout that he did in this military experiment where they improved the cardiovascular condition , i really wanna know more about that. thank you
It would be great to see the full documentary of West Point cadets going through the Nautilus workout. I was trying to find it with no success. Anybody has an idea where to find it?
In this presentation Arthur mentions that he has two sons - Gary and Edgar. Does anyone know what happened to his rwo sons? Arw are they still working in the fitness industry? I could not find any information on them.
I've come to realize that the barbell squat is NOT the magical exercise that it's been made out to be and as AJ correctly pointed out very dangerous! A leg press is a squat make no mistake because the action at the knees/hips/ankles is exactly the same the primary difference being the location of the load. So the question is, why place a loaded barbell across the back/shoulders when the objective is to train the thighs?!
Idk if Arthur was right about saying the people who say you have to train specific ways for certain results/things are wrong. When I just trained one way and would play a specific sport, I could tell I needed to modify my training for my sport. For example, I did weight training for baseball but it didn’t help with fast movements, so I had to do agility training for those faster movements and I had to even throw in plyometrics so I didn’t have ligament/tendon issues.
I think what he meant was more along the lines of suggesting certain exercises right off the bat, such as exercises powerlifters do. It is a dangerous sport, like any, but more so physically damaging to oneself solely. Personally, I think he wanted coaches or other people to train with more decisiveness and common sense.. I do appreciate you sharing personal experience, it does make me think about it from both sides
His methods worked for bodybuilding and building muscle. It is a hard workout. However, his methods are not going to bill athletes. You will not see one football team do this workout. But the man was a genius
This is untrue. His methods were implemented by many teams over decades. Starting with the Dolphins in the 70's, the Redskins and Bengals in the 80's and most recently with Dan Riley and Mark Asanovich's teams.
I am talking about now. Look at weight rooms of colleges and pros. They are doing free weights lifting on their feet. Look at special forces. No machines. They are doing body weight or free weight. They need to be strong, have strong stabilizing muscles, and be athletes. Nautilus is not for that. That being said, you could gain a lot of muscles by following Arthur Jones techniques.
@jonklein7130 again this is untrue. I was given a tour of the Steelers weight room right before covid and they utilize lots of machines. The bills just bought a gluteator and plantaris from Dynavec and the last HIT conferences I attended the strength coaches from the vikings was there. Also what stabilizer muscles do you think get worked better with free weights or calisthenics over machines?
@@STGStrengthandPower certainly you are not saying machines work stabilizing muscles. They are on plain movements. You are sitting. The machine does the work. You are not on your feet. Free weights and kettlebell exercises work your core. They are full body movements. I am not saying Arthur Jones methods do not build muscles for bodybuilding, but I am it is not near as functional as free weights, body weight or kettlebells.
@jonklein7130 one of the main "Stabilizer" muscles in a bench press is the lats. If you wish to use a free weight over a machine or make yourself less stable on purposes to activate it then go ahead. However better and safer results will come from training the lats directly in a stable biomechanically correct fashion.
Wish he was still alive, his wisdom would be invaluable today with all the nonsense floating around. He could really lift that veil with his intellect.

You can definitely see a lot of Arthur Jones in the later years of Mike Mentzer lol. The guy is hilarious. Thanks for the upload.

I purchased a Nautilus duo squat machine last year. Extraordinary engineering.

A guy like this...given the task of solving the world's problems....I have no doubt....he could've solved most of our problems.
AJ was SPOT ON about the vile/deceptive nature of the scientific establishment and we all got a very real/evil taste of it during the events of rona!
Thanks!!!!!

Don't have a full documentary but there is footage from it on this UA-cam channel.
Strange enough, I can’t find that video on this channel. Can you send a link please? Are we talking about the same West Point study?
In this presentation Arthur mentions that he has two sons - Gary and Edgar.
Does anyone know what happened to his rwo sons?
Arw are they still working in the fitness industry?
I could not find any information on them.

Near the end, Arthur talks about a cardio experiment they did. Any idea exactly what that was?
What time stamp? Probably project west point.

Arnold and Franco traveled to Deland. Arnold couldn't cut and went back to California while Franco took to the workouts like a duck to water.
Turns out the exercise industry valued cost over safety. Not even AJ could change that.
