This man was a lifting legend, with a sometimes fuckhead band of followers, but nonetheless, the man was a mean lifter and brought a lot to the table.

Jones is probably most infamous for the legendary tale of putting 60+ pounds on Casey Viator in one month to prep him for a Mr. American contest I believe.

Although, this is one of those stories that is highly disputed, and it has always been said that Viator was juiced out of his head at the time, 60 pounds is a lot.

Anyway, I was a big fan of Arthur Jones articles and teachings. I don't think he's written anything in quite a while, but I just always thought he was a badass, chain-smoking, weightlifting, womanizing, elephant hunter.

    Mr. Jones once said, according to his son, “I shot 630 elephants and 63 men, and I regret the elephants more.”

    I thought that Dave Draper site was Dave D. Raper.

    What an unfortunate name to have, I thought. Almost as bad as Robert Raper.

    actually in some areas they are overpopulated, thus end up starving to death. Any elephant hunting done now is strictly regulated in order to provide the greatest benefit to the herd.

    I've mentioned this before.

    Nearby here they have something like the largest Recreational Vehicle lot in the country. Owned by a Mr. Thomas Raper.

    Damn for glorified mobile homes, some of these things are fucking expensive.

    $101,000?

    fuck, my grandma's trailer was like 30k and didn't have a toilet that smelled like chemicals


    they basically charge you 70k for an engine and wheels
