Review by Mr. Darren P. Hammond for The New High-Intensity Training
Rating:
I bought this book as I use the HIT method as a part of my training and thought this book might have some insight or tips to help me further my training goals. However the book turned out to be quite disappointing, it had no real insights except to say “use this system because a veritable god “created” it”… This book is guilty of doing what the authors says other systems do, namely proclaiming that this is the best system but others are rubbish. It misses the point by a wide margin, using what works in the key, instead of an instruction manual explaining how to use the HIT system this book is mainly composed of anecdotes and proclamations about how wonderful this system is. Oh and it has a few exercises thrown in too. Best spend your money on a more complete book if you are seeking instruction in weightlifting and bodybuilding.

As an adept of the HIT training system, I found this book very disappointing. The author does not emphasize the theories/advantages/disadvantages of HIT as much as focusing on a one-sided odyssey of the man who commercialised the Nautilus training equipment, Arthur Jones.
Almost half of the book is dedicated exclusively to exaggerated praises to Jones (the author makes an effort to present him as a revolutionary man and an adventurer with a wonderful sense of humour, but my personal impression was – disappointingly – of an mean, irrational, eccentric, vain, arrogant, stubborn, crude and rude bully). To further emphasize Arthur Jones’ “superiority”, the author criticises at great length a number of successful bodybuilders (including – surprisingly – HIT “godfather” Mike Mentzer) presenting unflattering stories of a purely personal nature which I personally found very hard to believe.
The other part of the book is dedicated to training. I found it average in terms of information and quite brief, consisting mainly of common sense advice and a few generic “health routines”. The author fails (in my opinion) to justify his choices or to present scientific evidence to back up his claims (other than some unverifiable measurements of Casey Viator against a number of non-HIT bodybuilders).
Overall, I found the book to be the personal vendetta – paparazzi style – of a bitter, unsuccessful bodybuilder, whose only means to gain attention is to present unflattering, moot personal stories about everybody else.
Just my 2 cents’ worth…

I gave this book a ’1 star’ rating so that I can write a review.
A ’0 star’ rating is appropriate. The beginning of this frightening book is quite interesting. There is information about the travels of Arthur Jones, creator of Nautilus and credited by many people as the person that discovered the benefits of high-intensity, infrequent resistance training.
Why do I dislike this book? Near page 30 the book becomes a horrible read. Darden seems supportive of Jones’ violence. Darden seems like a giggling child describing the ‘fun’ he had with Jones. He hints that Jones would fight with bodybuilders. Jones would give orders, terrorise, threaten, degrade and humiliate
people. There is an account of Jones challenging somebody to a fistfight at a University lecture. Jones discovered that this person refused to fight in the Vietnam war (‘hid out’ as Darden describes it). Jones described to the audience how he planned to give him an ‘ass-kicking’ and tear him apart (literally).
Darden writes about ‘sissies’ and a violent powerlifter.Arthur Jones, if these accounts are true, is a mentally ill, psychopathic (perhaps) bully.
My book will be put in a bin.I recommend ‘Muscles in Minutes’ and ‘Heavy Duty 2 Mind & Body’ to people intersted by one set to failure training.
Visit the mike mentzer website to find these.
Review by Simon Hughes for The New High-Intensity Training

As somone who loves to lift, I got this book with an open mind and looked forward to learning something new. Unfortunately it failed to deliver anything but a bitter snipe at the rest of the bodybuilding community. It seems that Arthur Jones had a deep seated hate of Joe Weider, so he chose to try and smear his greatest asset, Arnold, widely considered to be one (if not the greatest body build of the Golden Era)For the most part its an ego trip for the late Jones. He claims he pulled Arnold and from a car by his collar and threatend to kick his ass… Arthur was half his size and twice his age.
Few facts back up his ideas except an array of, I suspect largely ficticous, anecdotal reports. If this amazing training systme worked so well, I find it strange that so few have taken it up, as it claims to require shorter and less frequent workouts.
The Diet section is almost comical.
With out being, rude, it verges on twoddle…
