Early Ironman Magazine Articles

(1970-1983)

As a child, Arthur Jones read his father's entire medical library by age 10. Being a voracious reader, Arthur devoured every book he could get his hand on, including many of the early bodybuilding publications. As a result of his curiosity of human muscular development, he ventured to California to the Mecca of gyms, the original Vic Tanny's. He sought what he thought to be the learned experts and left not too long after in disgust, as he saw they knew no better than he. For another 25 years he researched the human anatomy and also worked tirelessly with the animal kingdom. When forced to leave Africa suddenly in 1968, and fell back on his passion, muscular development. It was then he launched a one-man attack on the mythological muscle magazines. At first, he was going to write anonymously, but when encouraged to do it under his own name, he wrote the articles that single-handedly brought the bodybuilding world to its knees. Take a look back as arthurjonesexercise.com brings every word to life in these early legendary articles. You will feel as if you are living in the early days of Nautilus dominance.
