Summary: A very focused guide on Nautilus weight training
Comment: Ellington Darden worked for Nautilus for a number of years. I believe his Ph.D. is in nutrition. I found this book to be far superior to most other weight training books. The book explains the research behind Nautilus machines and performing only one set of each movement to exhaustion. Here are things this book will teach you: 1. One method of scientifically based weight training; 2. Proper form; 3. A lesson in anatomy and physiology as it applies to weight training. You might think this is not a lot but it's a lot if you've been wasting your time with fad training methods. One thing I remember in this book is how Darden describes how some football players get so strong that they may only need one weight training session per week. Some years ago, I cut back my weight training as he described and the strength gains I achieved still amaze me.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: The book was far more of a sales brochure for Nautilus equipment than I had expected. Perhaps even more disappointing was the mediocre quality of the instructions in Part II. I found the instructions no more detailed than those affixed to the sides of Nautilus machines at the gym.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good reference, but a little one sided
Comment: I am new to Nautilus equipment and this book has been a big help. It explains how to use all of the machines and provides sample workouts. My only complaint about the book is that it gives the impression that Nautilus training is the only valid form of strength training. Many pages are devoted to explaining why other forms of exercise are not as good as Nautilus. This makes the book feel like one big commercial for Nautilus. If you are just starting an exercise program (like myself), this book is helpful, but read some other books to get less biased perspective.
