The secret to strength training success…
"Training secrets? There are NONE!" Arthur Jones often said.
"Just understand some simple rules concerning intensity, progression, and frequency — then, combine that with a few good exercises. That's all you need." Jones with his rules, exercises, and commanding personality produced outstanding results for almost every man he supervised.

Dr Darden was in truth one of the very first personal trainers. He has spent years studying and applying simple effective methods of strength training and nutrition which have consistently produced some of the most amazing transformations one could imagine.
