If he is so respectable then why does he do those b.s. bowflex commercials.

go buy 6 of his books and tell me what the first thing you notice.
outside of the number of pictures of guys he has never trained, you will notice that all the books are remarkably the same.

Ask him about his days of training in mud. Did that build his Mr. America body?
Arthur jones can be a chain smoking slob and yet you all give him a free pass? He has other things going on in his life…international businesses?

Build bigger arms in a couple of weeks? For christ sakes, if anybody else printed an article like that you guys would scream for a lynching.
I also guess you can take that picture of arnold and shove it up your butt being he gets free pass since he has “other” things going on. He only runs the worlds 5th largest economy.

Arthur jones is looking jacked under a t-shirt next to a baby elephant and everything he says is law? He magically beat up arnold according to this guy?

Dr. Darden received a fair share of criticism and questioning following his first article here. In case you missed it:

That was based on the merits of HIT, not someone else’s notion of how a 60-yr old lifter should look or an outside presumption and preconceived notion of what Darden’s own physique goals are or should be.[/quote]

I know.

The quoted post did not only refer to Dr. Darden’s physique, though. Therefore, I think the link provided served it’s purpose of showing that he is not generally held to another standard than all other contributors here. That was the only point I was trying to make.

Where’s MikeShank? I’d like to learn more from him about the visual appraisal of fitness.

MikeShank’s next lesson: how to gauge bodyfat using a shoe.

I was just thinking about the 1st interview (posted 3/15/06) Chris did with Dr. Darden. In that interview, Dr. Darden talked about a seminar he did with Arnold in 1977. Arnold promoted high volume training as the best method to reach your muscular potential while Dr. Darden spoke of high intensity training as being a more efficient method. Arnold asked the audience “who are you going to believe”…“him” as he pointed at Dr. Darden and laughed…“or me” and then flexed his arms.

As Dr. Darden noted in the interview, most people respond to how you look more than what they say.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to see how people would respond if Arnold and Dr. Darden did a seminar together some 29 years later? Who would “look” more believable?

I tend to think the majority would have a more open mind to Dr. Darden’s ideas based on how they both currently look. If this seminar was to happen, Dr. Darden could point at Arnold (based on the previous posted photo on this thread)and laugh but I doubt he would do that as he has something called CLASS and RESPECT.

Years on Dr. Darden looks way better than arnold does now!
