  Testosterone Nation - The Rebirth of HIT
The speaker was Arthur Jones, inventor and founder of Nautilus and the father of high-intensity training.
Jones was always careful to point out that Viator was rebuilding previously existing level of muscular size—but even so, such a rate of increase was nothing short of remarkable.
Jones pitched an insult his way and Butkus slowly put the weight down, wiped his mouth on his arm, continued the shoulder shrug in good form, and finished his last two exercises.

 IRON AGE- Guest Editorial - Joseph Mullen
It was evident to Arthur Jones that "If you are working a muscle through only part of the movement, you are not working it during other parts of the movement." As simple as this statement sounds, it verifies a fact, overlooked since the origin of barbells and dumbbells.
Jones as the focal point His ability to logically explain the flaws prevalent historic fitness tools and exercise concepts, combined with his ability to offer alternatives, is as critical in the success of Nautilus equipment.
Arthur regularly alleged that, "There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles." If he truly believes this (and I do not be does), he has overlooked the obvious: there is nothing more valuable than a rational mind, capable of deductive logic and the inherent ability to educate others.

 Bodybuilding.com - Shannon Pittman - Arthur Jones In Brief!
Though it is true that the routines that Jones espoused were not overly complex, his ides on what constituted a good routine were very precise and eccentric even by today's standards of "scientific" periodized routines.
According to Jones, "for the production of best results one must attempt the momentarily impossible." That means you should carry each set to a point where you force against the weight on a rep even after the weight has stopped moving upward.
In Jones' opinion such techniques were counterproductive as they would reduce the amount of tension placed on a muscle in the subsequent reps. It is unnecessary work that will be less effective.
