I feel like after nearly 15 years of training I've finally found a productive training and nutrition methodologyWhat are you doing?
In the 1970's "fitness" came of age.
One of the major reasons was
the work done by Kenneth Cooper,M.D. His book "Aerobics" and its
systematic approach to fitness were a huge factor in "fitness"
being accepted by the mainstream public.
On the heels Dr. Cooper
came Arthur Jones and his Nautilus machines.
Jones' machines were very very important in helping establish strength training
as a part of the fitness movement.
The reason that this happened
was in part that Jones and the machines provided a "systematic approach" to weight training and nobody had ever successfully done that before.
Nautilus centers and the programs
in YMCA's, racquet clubs, schools, wellness centers and major health club chains provided easy access for weight training...the Nautilus way of recommended training provided short and effective workouts.
The staff at Nautilus Sports/Medical Industries provided training
information and all the answers about training.
Not only "fitness"
but "strength training" became a part of how the mainstream lived.
Now, many I benefitted from this phenomenon But the problem here
is that while the masses benefitted from a "complete system" "complete
sysyems" might not be the way to go...
Weight training is! first and most importantly a way to learn about your self.
"Complete systems"
seem to dilute that process.
Systems that "have all the answers"
leave little room for discovery of any kind... In fact, stay away from anybody who says he has all the answers.
Figure it out.

The complete system was the circuit training created by nautilus of 12 machines that allegedly trained your entire bodyBeen reading your post for over a decade now, and errrm…..still no idea what you’re on about.
What’s a “complete system” supposed to be?
I like nautilus machines, I fit into them quite well and they seem to be designed by someone who actually trained, but don’t see them anymore.The complete system was the circuit training created by nautilus of 12 machines that allegedly trained your entire body
With this I agree.Nautilus offered certain sub protocols sort of designed for everyone but that doesn’t work, what works is working it out for yourself.
Sets
Reps
Exercises
Frequency
Diet
Take the preacher curl machine for example, name another brand that has free rotating hand grips, instead of them spinning in your hands.I rarely see people use proper form on Nautilus it’s esoteric gone for good, a forgotten process
There’s a lot of good machines that nautilus designed and also a lot of crap ones the ones I’ve collected are the ones I like, nautilus, MedX and Hammer will never be fully understood as most people use them as a “barbell” that’s what I mean by “esoteric” the idea is that one must spend time in the fully extended and contracted positions under “full load” using a smooth constant rep speed (slower negative) to maximise the benefits of proper exercise.I like nautilus machines, I fit into them quite well and they seem to be designed by someone who actually trained, but don’t see them anymore.
Like Panatta too.
Don’t like hammerstrenght though, big clumsy over engineered kunce.
To stick with a system long term I need to enjoy the system, it’s the only way I have the motivation to keep it up for years on end.To be a true student of lifting one must read everything including it’s history it’s not until then that you will have the information needed to form your own opinion and truely find a method or system that will work for you, the longer you stick with the “system” the better the results
As opposed to straight?While we're on the topic of machines, I hate it when the biceps machines have the handles slightly pronated.
