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.
