Here’s an older interview before Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors Volume II came out:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arthur Jones, Steroids and lots of Muscle!
Some would call it the “Golden Age of Bodybuilding”
In this podcast Randy Roach and I discuss the history of bodybuilding. Randy is the author of Muscle, Smoke and Mirrors which is a three volume set, each over 600 pages.
We discuss Arthur Jones and the whole Nautilus thing, I ask Randy if Arthur didn’t use the Mentzers for their experiments and used an average Joe, would you think they would have gotten the same results? Randy’s honest and frank answer will surprise you.

We talk about Arnold and the impact he made. Did he deserve the credit?

“Muscle Smoke and Mirrors” is well written, comprehensive and thorough. It will stand witness to what took place in the broad scheme of the muscle world and is a great credit to its writer. I have now read the first two volumes with interest and look forward to the third. Thank you for your generous comments on Pumping Iron, the book and the eponymous movies. Onward.
George Butler,
Producer of Pumping Iron
