"Philosophy of HIT & Machine Reviews" with Jeremy Amin
J
14:18Jeremy AminGUEST
I recall very distinctly the feeling that I had when he said this.
J
14:23Jeremy AminGUEST
The interviewer asked him, In so many words, how did you come about? Your training style, the blood and guts, the 45 minutes, four times a week, what inspired this? And then he mentioned two names, Mike Mensah, who I had heard about in my previous stints as a trainer and training myself, and Arthur Jones.
J
14:47Jeremy AminGUEST
I had never heard of that name before.
J
14:49Jeremy AminGUEST
So this was 2023.
J
14:50Jeremy AminGUEST
I was a professional before.
J
14:53Jeremy AminGUEST
Been in and around the industry for a long time.
J
14:56Jeremy AminGUEST
And just then I was being told who Arthur Jones is or was, or the name being mentioned.
J
15:00Jeremy AminGUEST
Or at least a name coming onto my radar.
588 - The Growth Secrets of a HIT Business Giant (with MaxStrength Fitness Founder Jeff Tomaszewski)
J
31:52Jeff TomaszewskiGUEST
Our program is developed.
J
31:52Jeff TomaszewskiGUEST
I've been asking your pros to stay in their early 80s, Arthur Jones and University of Florida Medical School and all that fun stuff.
J
31:58Jeff TomaszewskiGUEST
But we also do this, this, and this, and this.
J
32:01Jeff TomaszewskiGUEST
now so it adds on to that a great example of the messaging that i heard recently from donald miller was he when he talks about this all the time is or the aura ring right and so the aura ring it does a lot of things it tracks your sleep it tracks your steps it tracks your heart rate tracks your stress response all of the things and they must have done some great focus groups and said this is a sleep lab on your finger like that's what they lead with now it's the world's best sleep lab But it does a ton of other things.
12 MINS LATER
J
44:33Jeff TomaszewskiGUEST
So I was using, you know, the Roger Baxter, the four minute mile, you know, that, and then I don't know how many days later, like 45, 60 days, like four or five people broke it.
L
44:40Laurence SnellHOST
You're right.
J
44:40Jeff TomaszewskiGUEST
Because the belief that they could, like, nobody believed that we could strength train in this way until Arthur Jones and then Ken Hutchins and all the other, and all the people that now have, you know, really put it on the mainstream.
J
44:51Jeff TomaszewskiGUEST
But now people do.
HRV, Exercise, and Longevity | Don Moxley - E316
D
8:40Don MoxleyGUEST
Well, it was Nautilus Midwest back then.
D
8:44Don MoxleyGUEST
Greg Jones, Arthur Jones's son, had started Nautilus Midwest.
D
8:48Don MoxleyGUEST
And we had this really interesting connection to these high intensity.
D
8:51Don MoxleyGUEST
This was a big deal back in the early 80s, you know.
The Jay Vincent Interview: We interview Jay Vincent, where he shares the science and principles behind HIT training. This is an entertaining and fact-filled episode!
J
36:34John D’AmbrosioHOST
So that's a great point.
J
36:36John D’AmbrosioHOST
um and we can't talk about high intensity training without i see you have the picture behind you arthur jones how has he influenced you i mean obviously you know you've been influenced upstream from him or downstream have you been directly influenced through you know nautilus bulletins and doing any research on him oh
J
36:56Jay VincentGUEST
yeah
J
36:57John D’AmbrosioHOST
oh yeah
J
37:23Jay VincentGUEST
So that all began in like, you know, 2015, 2016.
J
37:28Jay VincentGUEST
I read, definitely read the Nautilus bulletins numerous times, front to back.
J
37:34Jay VincentGUEST
You know, but what I do a little differently is, you know, if Mike Mentzer says something, if Dorian Yates says something, if Arthur Jones says something, I don't take it as absolute fact or truth at face value.
J
37:50Jay VincentGUEST
That's people, you know, and obviously...
587 - More Reps is Better — HIT Workout Design for Older Strength Trainees and Seniors (with Matt Brzycki)
M
29:50Matt BrzyckiGUEST
And I think he did it all capital letters, like about 10 exclamation points.
M
29:55Matt BrzyckiGUEST
So that's what you kind of get to get when you go besides... being able to rub elbows with some really high profile people, you know, in the industry, uh, you know, in some cases, literally parts of part of history, like besides Joe Dardy, Jim Flanagan, you know, again, he's got his, the early days of Nautilus, like both of those guys, one step removed from Arthur Jones, uh, You know, you're getting, it's a family of sorts because it's all the HIT community, the HIT community.
M
30:24Matt BrzyckiGUEST
And you will kind of, I mean, we differ in our approaches somewhat, but we're all, I think we could lump them under the same quote unquote family, you know, and even in families, there's like, you get infighting of close relatives.
M
30:38Matt BrzyckiGUEST
Of course.
M
33:48Matt BrzyckiGUEST
Even if you show demos, they've seen almost everything, this group of people.
M
33:54Matt BrzyckiGUEST
So it's really tricky in terms of finding a topic that has some great interest.
M
33:59Matt BrzyckiGUEST
And so I was floating ideas around in my head, and it suddenly occurred to me that I don't know what prompted the how it entered my head, but it occurred to me that Arthur Jones had published an article back in 1986 in The Athletic Journal and That's exactly what was 40 years ago.
M
34:24Matt BrzyckiGUEST
So I went back and I looked at it and I bounced off Luke.
EP 14: Predictive ROI CEO Stephen Woessner Maps How Intentional Experiences Help Prospects Across Your Trust Bridge
S
43:03Stephen WoessnerHOST
And Brett said it plainly, your agency cannot outgrow your leadership.
S
43:10Stephen WoessnerHOST
And then he shared a principle he learned from Arthur Jones.
S
43:14Stephen WoessnerHOST
And so this is me quoting Arthur Jones.
S
43:17Stephen WoessnerHOST
All organizations are perfectly designed to get the results they're currently getting.
S
43:25Stephen WoessnerHOST
And so when he shared that, friends.

M
30:29Maggie StewartGUEST
Right.
M
30:29Maggie StewartGUEST
I still haven't read the Arthur Jones material.
M
30:32Maggie StewartGUEST
I think it's online, you know, but that's where a lot of people that inspired me.
M
30:36Maggie StewartGUEST
Yeah.
M
30:38Maggie StewartGUEST

M
30:51Maggie StewartGUEST
But I don't know
C
30:51Casey RuffHOST
that I understand it completely.
586 - Service That Lands Clients, Guaranteed — A Strength Training Business Owner's Guide (with Pete Cerqua)
L
2:44Laurence SnellHOST
But we had a really nice conversation the other evening.
L
2:46Laurence SnellHOST
Um, and, uh, yeah, his business is doing really well in New York still, and, um, won't say too much 'cause I don't know how much he would like me to share, but, um, he did say one thing that I think he'd be, it'd be fine for me to share, which is, uh, he said when he was first running his business, he was very much, uh, influenced by, you know, Arthur Jones and a lot of the, um, high intensity training heroes of the time, um, and as many people were back in those days.
L
3:14Laurence SnellHOST
And he said that when people would ring and contact him to, um, learn about his offer, learn about his personal training service, um, and they would invariably say they wanted to lose weight or something like that.
L
3:26Laurence SnellHOST
He would say, he'd start lecturing them and turn into, you know, kind of cranky and, and, um, manifest his inner Arthur Jones and tell them how, like, you know, it's about diet and strength training's not gonna help with weight loss and blah, blah, blah.
L
3:39Laurence SnellHOST
Um, and now he's completely changed his tune, and when people call in now, he's like, "Yeah, sure.
L
3:44Laurence SnellHOST
You know, you wanna get toned and tight?" Like, [laughs] "Book an appointment," you know? [laughs]

Evolutionary.org 779 - EVO brother "19NorFan"
M
40:48MobsterHOST
This is an extreme example.
M
40:50MobsterHOST
So, when Arthur Jones and the high-intensity guys were working through the protocols, they had some rough science from 100 or 200 individuals.
M
41:00MobsterHOST
For the most part, everybody falls in the mid-range.
M
41:02MobsterHOST
But at the one extreme, they could have someone that could train, as you said, certain body parts every two or three days and still recover and still advance and still progress.

S
5:13Sal Di StefanoHOST
And then Mike Menser comes along and he started training in that way because that's how bodybuilders worked out.
S
5:19Sal Di StefanoHOST
And he learned a technique or a training philosophy from Arthur Jones.
S
5:24Sal Di StefanoHOST
Arthur Jones was this scientist who tried to study how muscle growth happens, came up with this theory.
S
5:31Sal Di StefanoHOST
He actually designed Nautilus equipment.
S
5:33Sal Di StefanoHOST
So he's one of the first designers of like selectorized exercise equipment.
S
5:37Sal Di StefanoHOST
Arthur Jones said to him, you know, all these sets that people are doing are a waste of time.
S
5:44Sal Di StefanoHOST
They're compromising growth.
S
5:45Sal Di StefanoHOST
What you need is just one super intense set, and that'll trigger the muscle growth.
