This one came to mind when I came across my t-shirt in my draw. I use to belong to the Nautilus Fitness Center in Nutley, NJ back in the late 70's early 80's in Bodybuilding this became the buzz word it was all about the Nautilus shaped cams on the Leverage machines that change the way a lot of people worked out.

Yeah but back than Dick Butkus was using it and swore by and claimed it was Arthur Jones and his machine that aloud him to play more football after his knee was destroyed, so we all got roped if the most fear player on the football field said it worked

it had many Pro bodybuilders jump on the Jones train at the time the drug stacking that was going on behind the curtain made some of the more naive think it was the Nautilus machine was helping them achieve that level of results me included oh I remember the phrase the used to explain the concept
full-range,direct,rotary,omni-directional,automatically-variable resistance. which shorten = BS ha ha ha

I remember my brother and I liking the machines, but never buying into the training philosophy. And we certainly didn't stop using free weights, or other machines including the tried-and-true old workhorse...the Universal, like this one:

Jamey Aebersold still uses one of these for his presentations, and has a dedicated person (usually David Kana) assigned to project and follow the changes on screen to songs being played on the SJW faculty concerts. They are still useful!
