Bannister's book suffers in that his slavish devotion to all things Arthur Jones touched, said, or looked at makes for a highly biased work. Bannister does offer some insights that are not along the lines of "Arthur Jones knew how to do everything perfectly, do what he said and everything was stupid" however these insights are far and few between.

Full of mythology of high intensity — like a pound of muscle burning 50 to 100 more daily calories than fat. Good luck with that. And cardio of course is bad.

Smacks of idolatry and I haven’t found much that is useful. Yes, I was excited by the Nautilus machines of the 70s and read Darden’s books in those days. But I’m not convinced it met it’s promise. The fact that it isn’t so prevalent may not mean anything. Fitness fads are like hemlines and it colors, marketing requires the new new thing.
