Arthur Jones was the creator of Nautilus and also creator of High Intensity Training but really it was this guy Vince Gironda that was the first to use the word "intensity" in his training programs. 

 

You may think, if Gironda was so good, why haven't more people heard about him? Well, he wasn't into marketing himself; he was more of an underground guru type. And he was somewhat harsh... well, make that honest. Bodybuilders with big egos don't like honesty; they like their arse freshly kissed!

Gironda didn't do that. If you were fat he told you straight out. In fact, the first time Arnold came to America, he went to Vince's gym and presented himself in a somewhat pompous way. Gironda told him, "Well, you sure look fat to me!"

So, long story short, Gironda wasn't exactly a public relations dream! Plus, some (if not all) of his methods went against what was advocated in his time (and even still in ours). Some of Gironda's ideas were so revolutionary that people were just not ready to accept them. But the fact remains: no trainer in the history has brought more to physique training than Vince Gironda.

I'll freely admit that the more I read his material, the more he began to influence my way of thinking and training. At first it was only his exercises which piqued my curiosity, but as time progressed I began to absorb more of his knowledge and modulated my own to include his theories.
