"Doing more exercise with less intensity,"
Arthur Jones believes, "has all but
destroyed the actual great value
of weight training. Something
must be done . . . and quickly."

Old-School Results supplies
MUCH of that "something."

"From only one workout," Arthur Jones announced, "I'll put half an inch of permanent muscle size on each of your upper arms!"

"Drive down tomorrow and watch Casey train," Arthur Jones said to me on the phone.
The date was June 9, 1971. I hadn't seen Casey Viator in nine months, so I was anxious to view him working out. Jones had been training Viator on and off for eleven months. Everyone interested in bodybuilding at that time was following the escapades of Jones and Viator through IronMan magazine.
Many people have asked me which were my favorite books, and which films I liked best. But having read so many books, literally many thousands of them, and having seen thousands of films, it is not easy for me to answer such questions.
After a brutal trip through the Mexican jungle in the summer of 1951, I arrived back in Veracruz without a cent remaining in my pocket, with a large truckload of wild animals and with no place to put them, and filthy dirty, only to find that Mike Tsalikis had sent me no money at all.
