GREAT MEN OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Mr. Jones is known for Nautilus Exercise Equipment

But he was an adventurer, hunter, explorer, film maker, Ive always found him an immensely interesting character

His motto for life was "younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles"...
1. Nautilus Exercise Equipment

Jones was like any other bro, he wanted to gain mass and was frustrated as his struggle to put on size

His invention of machines came from his own frustrations with conventional movements

Jones was DECADES ahead of his time on this
He invented over 20 different machines, which are still described as being the best EVER made (the originals that is)

Jones got his bodyweight up to 205 lbs at one point, and was only around 5'9 in height
Today companies like N.1 Education are pioneering exercise optimization, and their practical research is revealing how many classic movements DONT train muscles nearly as effectively as has been thought

Arthur Jones and Animals:

Jones was a big game hunter, exotic animal collector, and eventually opened his own 300 acre ZOO on his property in Florida

he lived in Rhodesia for a time, taking care of orphaned elephants (which he eventually brought them all to America)
Before Jones ever came up with Nautilus, He was an exotic animal importer, a pilot, and big game hunter

In this video, which was made when he was older and worth hundreds of millions, you can see him tending to his large herd of elephants

Jones the Marketer and Genius:

Jones was a divisive figure in the fitness world when he was alive, being highly critical of most of it, while also being a salesman for his Nautilus line of equipment (and later MedicalRX)

Jones took a very unique approach though...
Jones was intellectually brilliant, his Nautilus bulletin newsletter are DENSE pieces of writing, he dozens of them in Iron Man Magazine

You can still read them today, they are a legitimate philosophical treatise

Arthur Jones the Conservationist part 2:

Despite being an avid big game hunter, Jones became a huge proponent of animal conservation

He produced a number of films and wildlife conservation series in the 1960s, Wild Cargo probably being his best known

The best business advice I ever got was from a bay area Meth dealer while I was in Jail

The guy was a genius and a psychopath, had been selling dope to techies and yuppies for decades and basically taught himself law to keep getting in & out of jail

Irreplaceable education
I dont suggest committing felonies and doing time

BUT...if you do, you'll learn more about business and (people) than you ever will reading fucking business books.

Stay safe and obey the law boys and girls
Your goal in creating a service or product is to fill a niche and make your what you are selling absolutely necessitous to the person

Make your dope the absolute best, and people will always be happy to pay, and they'll want more

Most Relevant Metrics for Health

-Resting Heart Rate (the lower the better generally)

-Bodycomposition (ratio of lean body mass to muscle)

-Bodyweight (contrary to fitness mythology, BMI Does matter. You are probably NOT the genetic outlier that contradicts this)
You improve your resting heart rate by doing...CARDIO.

Walking daily is an easy way to get Zone 1 activity in,

More rigorous Zone 2 work is done at a faster place

HIIT is something of a hack, but I firmly believe daily WALKING should be part of everyones lifestyle Image
When I say relevant, these are numbers Anyone can easily measure and manage themselves

Obviously you can get more in depth with bloodwork, but now you're getting tests ordered and need to know how to interpret

The idea that a man must be "high value" to attract women is pure BS. Its cope

Women will be with loser men ALL the time. Confidence and being cocksman will keep women coming back, regardless of lacking everywhere else
Hard reality is most men live their lives as losers, and its not until they gain financial and professional success and FINALLY have some veracity and swagger that women respond to them positively

They ironically make the same mistake feminists make...
That Men must really care about their professional success and accolades.

"Women only want to fuck winners at the finish line!"

Eh, not quite bro, you just finally started walking around like you have balls after 30+ years & learned girls like confidence

HOW TO BULK PROPERLY

Let me preface,

Bulking CAN and DOES work, but only IF the right conditions are met

1) You need to be LEAN when you start. 8-10% bodyfat range

2) You need to bulk SLOWLY. Gaining 1lb a week. 4lbs a month.

1/5
3) You stop bulking once you get to the Mid Teens of bodyfat percentage. 15-17% bodyfat

4) You keep your weight in a holding pattern for a LONG TIME. 6 months minumum, up to 1-2 years even if you are SERIOUS about muscle gain

2/5
5) You MUST prioritize progressive Overload. You need to get as STRONG AS POSSIBLE at your heavier weight

6) After you have done the above, THEN you begin to "cut" and reach a leaner weight, with added muscle tissue and increased strength levels

3/5
