Anyone have any arthur jones routines they can share ?
Would like to try
A good place to start in my opinion. Below, some links to some of what he wrote regarding exercise.
Arthur Jones wrote a bunch of other stuff about training, most of which is freely available here (from
where I cut and pasted the links below).

Arthur Jones was a huge influence in my training. I achieved my all-time best utilizing his principles.
I think Big A’s ‘Growth principles for beginners’ has many of the same thoughts as Arthur regarding
training as does Dante in some ways (although he said here that he has never read anything Arthur
Jones wrote).
I visited Arthur many times in the 70’s and 80’s. And later in his life, I get to know him very well,
lived with him many times for short periods of time over many years until his death, and rarely,
if ever, did we talk about exercise. He was just not interested, even though I still was.
Mike Mentzer. I met a few times when he was training at Golds with his brother Mike. According to my
observations, they never trained like he recommended. I talked with him over the phone after that,
around the time he started to fall off the deep end with his training ‘philosophy’. Interesting guy, but he
learned everything he knew from Arthur (my opinion) and never had an original thought in his life,
except, maybe his extremely reduced training at the end of his life.
