Considered to be among the best advanced technique bodybuilding books ever published, the book covers fundamentals as well as in-depth advanced techniques and training methodology. It has detailed (yet easy to follow) text as well as numerous photo diagrams and charts. A must have reference for any serious bodybuilding enthusiast. -- (now out of print in any form, the book has become quite a sought after item by personal trainers as well as individuals)

I followed the instructions to the letter and got some pretty amazing results in about a year. I had no intention of becoming a competitive body builder, just to get into great shape, which I did.
Now 20 years later I intend to do it all again. You really do not need to pack on too much weight to start with, but simply do the excercise absolutely correctly and at a steady pace to achieve the best results. Once again, follow the instructions to the letter; you will be blown away with the results.

There is no body on earth that knows more than Arthur Jones and Ellington Darden and those associated with them in the Nautilus Fitness regime! With this information and application of it (okay, genetics too), you will achieve beyond what you would believe with your body. Even if you don't become Mr. Olympia you will increase your strength, looks and stamina to a pinnacle you would never have imagined. Try something that will really blow everyone else away- follow the super slow protocol, explained within.

Awsome book with some very interesting and intense workouts,great pics of those fantastic Nautilus machines being used to explain the exercises.Dont forget though unless your 250lbs of solid muscle and super strong the workouts have limiting effect.

This book which is based on the concept of High Intensity Training originally developed by Arthur Jones the developer of the Nautilis machines is a good reference for your library of strength training books. If you do a Google search you can get a summary of this technique by Jones himself which adds important dimensions to this concept. Also, the "Power of 10" is a good book on this subject. That book also references Jones and I think Darden as well. Jones was the man, however.

See my review of Super High Intensity Bodybuilding: Nautilus Principles Applied to Free Weights, also by this book's author; my comments regarding Dr. Darden's inspirational writing and photography apply equally here. For bodybuilders of an advanced level, the routines and techniques herein are simply unmatched in intensity and WILL stimulate growth unlike any other regimen you're likely to employ; THIS I can say from personal experience...my best gains ever in my years of working out. You've simply GOT to be willing to outlast, out-suffer, and just plain out-stubborn rhe pain and nausea you'll endure if you've got it in you to follow the directions therein to the letter. For a passionate musclehead as myself, however, sustaining such motivaton isn't quite so forbidding a possibility when you're actually stronger and taping out bigger every two weeks or so.
