After analyzing all the information about when and why the aging process begins I have come to the conclusion that everyone has their own opinion and there is really not one clear answer from either the scientific or medical community. I do know that it is well accepted by the scientific community that muscle damage [...]
Three Key Factors that Guarantee Bigger & Stronger Muscles
During my early years of strength training with Arthur Jones at Nautilus, I found out through trial & error what would and would not work for me. Yes, I observed all things related to strength training that Arthur advocated and then I narrowed those principles to three key factors that have been tested by me and my trainees over time. And I don’t say one thing and then do something else-I actually practice what I preach! As a result through the years, I have maintained my strength and muscle size and I have no doubt that I have plenty of good years ahead of me and will continue strength training for as long as I live.
My 3 Key Factors for Bigger & Stronger Muscles…
Audio Interview with Clint Walker from Cheyenne and The Dirty Dozen
From 1970-1996 Arthur Jones stated in his many lectures (which numbered in the hundreds) that: “An individual’s potential for building superior muscular size is pre-determined at birth just like an individual’s I.Q. or a man’s potential to become 7 feet tall.

But What About Cardio? Is it Even Necessary?
Each and every week without fail, someone will ask me “What do you do for cardio fitness?” I have different replies but usually I name the activities I don’t do such as:
* I don’t jog
* I don’t live on a treadmill
* I don’t use a stair climber
* I don’t “spin” or use a recumbent bike
Since I covered most of the usual forms of cardio they usually ask me again “Then what do you do for cardio?” I reply “I proper strength train in a total body workout once a week for less than 30 minutes”. My strength training workouts are performed at a high intensity level using proper form to prevent injury and that is how I get the cardio effect-during my high intensity workout.
Do You Know Your Key Indicator for Greater Muscular Strength Development?
When I was a child I watched a popular cartoon show called “Popeye the Sailor Man” whose famous saying was “I am what I am and that’s all that I am.” Popeye had huge forearms that would increase when he ate a can of spinach. He stands out in my mind because he had well developed arms (for a cartoon character).
A Demanding “Pre-exhaustion” Strength Training Workout to Build Strength & Lean Muscle Mass
When I met the inventor and founder of Nautilus Sports/Medical Industries in the Spring of 1971, I had already been strength training for nearly three years at Milo’s Gym in Orlando, Florida. At Milo’s Gym we trained with barbells, dumbbells, squat racks, and assorted benches, and chin & dip bars. I strength trained faithfully three times per week and at the time “I thought I was working out hard!” It was not until I met Arthur Jones that I would actually learn what a really hard workout was!
8 Tips for Maximum Muscle Mass Growth
Each year millions of teenagers jump on the weight training bandwagon seeking the secrets to building bigger muscles fast! They buy into the muscle magazines articles with pictures of Mr. Universe and Mr. America (both past and present) pertaining to what it takes to be a champion body builder not understanding that the goal of the article is to sell more magazines, supplements, books, DVD’s, etc. Then after they receive the products they soon become disenchanted with the course because after many attempts they just can’t achieve those over-exaggerated quick goals to look like the champions.
Build Maximum Arm Mass in a Minimum of 10 Minutes!
If you walk into any gym and go to the weight training area you will notice most of those members either on the bench press or working out their arms. They literally spend hours weekly on building larger arms when in fact arms can be exercised in less than 10 minutes.
Beware of Self-proclaimed Fitness Training Experts
During the past twenty-four years “so-called” fitness training experts have coined the terms closed-chain and open-chain that are used in the exercise/rehab field. At Nautilus we used terms such as compound movement for a closed chain exercise which involves more than one joint during a set of exercises in a strength training workout. Examples of compound movement exercises are:
