An Awesome New Strength Training Book that Teaches...

How YOU Can Build
TWICE The Strength
in HALF The Time

Eliminate confusion, develop confidence and gain bigger and stronger muscles - faster than ever before

He looked like the Devil himself and threatened to kill me less than 20 minutes after we met...

He lunged at me but I was too quick and dodged his advance but then with a quick move he grabbed me by the scruff of the neck...

"the smartest and toughest men in the world have mustaches...look, kid...I have one and your dad doesn't"... but I broke free from his grasp... then like a cat I jumped up on the windowsill, sprang through the air and got him right in his bad shoulder with a flying drop-kick...

So went my introduction to Arthur Jones and probably the only fight that Arthur ever lost...I was six years old at the time.

Arthur Jones was the roughest, toughest, meanest and smartest Iron Game pioneer who ever walked the Earth and the man who revolutionized strength training forever. His training ideas influenced millions of people to start training in the most effective manner possible. Now these same ideas can help YOU build TWICE the strength in HALF the time.

Fast Forward A Decade:

"Here, read this," said my Dad as he handed me a folder full of Xeroxed sheets of paper.

I was fifteen years old -- only a freshman in high school -- and just starting to get into strength training in a serious way. I was looking for the best way to get as big and as strong as I possibly could for the next football season.

So I took the folder and, without looking too closely at it, noticed that it contained a series of training articles written by Arthur Jones; a name I vaguely recalled from the past.

This was a lot of material to go through and I originally intended to throw it in some forgotten corner of my room and get around to it when I had more time (probably never). The thing is, as I walked up to my room, I took a closer look at what was really inside and when I saw the first few pages, I stopped in my tracks... I couldn't take another step.

I knew instantly that this was information that I had to read RIGHT NOW. I took a seat right there at the top of the stairs and began to read...

Understand, I had seen books on strength training -- lots of them. I had seen plenty of training courses too, and a fair share of "muscle comics." They were all pretty much the same... what I was reading now was different. Those articles were like nothing I had ever seen before. A few hours went by but it only felt like a few minutes as I made my way through the material. I read everything.

When I got done, I felt 10 feet tall, like I had found diamonds as big as basketballs in my own backyard. No more confusion - I now possessed the keys to super strength.

That day my life changed forever.

Training had never been explained to me this way before. Many of the things about strength training that I had previously been confused about now made perfect sense. Arthur Jones' ideas gave me a clear picture of exactly what I needed to do and exactly how I needed to do it.

Within those pages, I learned the foundations (almost a step-by-step blueprint) for understanding the fundamental building-blocks of Strength development. All that was left was to do it, and now I had the Confidence to know I was on the right path.

Dr. Darden Strikes Again

Ellington Darden Ellington
Darden, Ph.D.
Many people had the same experience when they first read some of Arthur's materials. Over three decades ago, when Arthur unleashed his training philosophy on an unsuspecting world it spread like wildfire. It made a heck of a lot of sense to thousands upon thousands of trainees all over the country and the world, and in practice, worked better than anything else than they ever tried.

Among the many people who achieved tremendous results were Ellington Darden, a Champion Bodybuilder and Ph.D. who not only had many published training articles under his belt, but graced the cover of many strength magazines of the time.

Ell Darden found out about Arthur Jones and his ideas, trained under him and got the best results of his life. -- This experience had such a big impact on him that Ell Darden has been writing about Arthur Jones and his training methods ever since. He was there throughout the entire Nautilus phenomenon.

With nearly 50 books to his credit on a variety of subjects, Dr. Darden takes it back to where it all began in this modern classic...
