Arthur Jones forever changed exercise and rehabilitative medicine. He hit audiences like a sledgehammer. Few escaped unscathed. "Everything of value related to exercise can be stated in less than a thousand words, can, in fact, be fairly well covered in a few words, as follows: Train hard, train briefly, train infrequently." "If and when the government ever takes any meaningful steps in the direction of sanity, which I doubt, it could come to pass that all cases of lower-back pain will be treated first with MedX machines, that any other treatment will be prohibited until and unless MedX treatment has been tried and has failed. A simple federal law to that effect would save the people in this country a minimum of $80,000,000,000.00 a year.""One advanced bodybuilder asked me as I was trying to explain the machine to him 'Do you have to be a genius to use the machine?' And I told him 'No, but it helps if you are not an idiot.'" "The next time somebody suggests that you move suddenly during any form of either exercise or testing, smile and walk away, because you are talking to a fool. And do not overlook the fact that a very long list of fools have large muscles, and another long list of fools have all sorts of academic credentials." "Bodybuilding is 100% nutrition - but only if you don't eat. Just try going without food for a week and see what happens to your body." "If I ever produced only a 25% gain in strength from a 12-week program (as with the average research study), I would probably go insane and kill all of the subjects." "Fifty years from now, when all the research is in, every company in the field of muscle testing will test the way we do (statically), because there is no other way." "You have a choice: you can exercise a lot, or you can train hard, but you cannot do both. .In the case of exercise, more is seldom the solution and is frequently the problem." "Many weight train

In If You Like Exercise… Chances Are You’re Doing It Wrong, author Gary Bannister tells us that “the power-to-be have all but destroyed the value of muscle isolation, discredited the use of machines in general, ignored everything related to the work of Arthur Jones and replaced it with a ten-cent solution.” He claims that until the field of exercise defines what is true and what is not, it will never have the impact that it could. Muscle strength, the only factor that can produce human movement and the only factor that performs work, is disappearing from today’s training regimens. This study and guide analyzes current concepts and training systems-such as Pilates, “functional” training TRX, cross-training, kettlebells, and more-and compares their benefits to those of proper strength training to provide a clear picture for everyone. If You Like Exercise… Chances Are You’re Doing It Wrong rekindles the high intensity strength-training principles of Arthur Jones, the founder of Nautilus. Bannister focuses on the concepts of intensity, form, frequency, duration, number of repetition, speed if movement, and muscle fatigue, supporting them with current research. Logically applied, proper strength training is the only system capable of satisfying all five potential benefits of exercise-an increase in strength, flexibility, cardiovascular condition, body-composition, and injury prevention.

If you've golfed for any length of time, you've probably been exposed to the myth that movement-based functional training and sport-specific exercise can make you a better golfer. Gary Bannister reveals a proven muscle-based alternative that gets better results: Proper Strength Training. A longtime golfer, Bannister has played with some of the world's greatest champions. He established and coached the men's and women's varsity golf teams at Averett College, and opened South America's first Nautilus gym, which led him to prepare Venezuela's male and female golf teams for the World Team Amateur Championship in 1986. Bannister advises golfers to build the muscles involved in golf in the most efficient and effective way you can without trying to be specific - without trying to duplicate the actions of the golf swing. Only after that should you focus on learning to use that strength to your advantage on the golf course. Filled with golfing anecdotes, rich history, and exercises that will keep you fit, you'll be amazed by how much your game improves through Golf Performance Training.
