foreword<br > I was introduced to Arthur Jones and his Nautilus training<br > principles at the 1971 Mr. America contest. Casey Viator won<br > the contest and I placed tenth. Casey and I were both 18<br > years of age at the time.<br > Two years later I visited Jones at his Nautilus headquarters<br > in Lake Helen， Florida. Since then I ve talked bodybuilding<br > with him and his staff many times.<br > Arthur Jones is not a relaxing person to be with. He does<br > not lightly exchange words. He spews facts， torrents of them，<br > gleaned from his studies and， perhaps more important， from<br > practical application of theory， personal observation， and<br > incisive deduction.<br > You don t converse with Arthur Jones， you attend his<br > lectures. He is opinionated， challenging， intense， and blunt.<br > He knows more about the physiology of exercise than most<br > people who are passing themselves off as physiologists in<br > universities.<br > vii<br >
