The Arthur Jones CollectionArthur Jones and his Nautilus Principles are legendary in the fields of bodybuilding and sports conditioning. Now, for the first time ever, you can have the most critically-acclaimed article collection that has changed the direction of exercise science and continues to challenge the irrationality we see today, such as 'train explosive to be explosive,' and 'if you want to be a champ, you need to train like the champs.'

This two book collection in slip case includes Arthur's autobiography, ...And God Laughs (with never before published photographs), as well as a 1100+ page text on Arthur's collected articles from 1969 until 1997. You will read on such topics as:

  • The rational basis of full-body training.
  • Pros and Cons of full squats.
  • Compound vs. isolation exercises.
  • Speed as a factor, and ideal method of performance.
  • How range of movement of an exercise affects flexibility.
  • Time as a factor in exercise prescription and data collection.
  • Strength and muscular endurance factors, and how each affects the other.
  • The AE Factor, and how it affects an ideal exercise prescription.
  • Responses to exercise and why each muscle must be considered specifically in an overall prescription.
  • Negative work as a factor in exercise.
  • Predicting athletic ability and a look at the missing link in athletic performance.
  • Is great size incompatible with muscularity?
  • Five types of exercise, and which is best.
  • And much, much more!

I" am shocked at the amazing project, the Arthur Jones collection. Wow, what an amazing work of publishing you have undertaken! I am greatly impressed! " Robert Kennedy, MuscleMag International

  • The long, slow process of innovation.
  • The actual requirements of proper exercise.
  • Misleading testing procedures in exercise research.
  • A look at rehabilitation, including basic requirements.
  • And much, much more!

"I received the Jones book set yesterday, what a tremendous deal for the money. The two books are absolutely first rate and the material is beyond belief, for the first time all the Jones articles in one complete source. This handsome two volume set will definitely be a true collector item down the road." Thanks again, Osmo Kiiha.
