  • Nautilus Instruction Manual


    • A look at a Nautilus Instruction Manual, circa 1980. Pictured are the DUOsymmetric/POLYcontractile Hip and Back Machine, 4-Way Neck, Double Shoulder, and Pullover. That's "Big" Jim Flanagan demonstrating in the right-most pictures.

  • The Nautilus Hip and Back Machine


    • Shown here is the Nautilus Hip and Back machine, as demonstrated by 1971 Mr. America Casey Viator. It's a real shame that so many people do not take the time to understand what some machines are capable of insofar as their training results are concerned.

    This particular model, for example, is a superior way to train the musculature of the hips and lower back, without the drawbacks of the barbell squat -- something which no other exercise or training method is able to duplicate as efficiently.

    The Nautilus Hip and Back machine was in production in the early 70s, well before some of the well-known low-back developers of today. Due to its design, this Nautilus version also avoided the shearing forces of the highly promoted modern versions as well.
