Reviews
Pearl, a four-time Mr. Universe, and runner/triathlete/weightlifter Moran here adapt Pearl's self-published Keys to the Inner Universe for a wider audience. What results is a crisp, well-organized manual for men and women that incorporates reliable guidance for bodybuilders at all levels, programs for general fitness training in the gym and at home, and routines by top athletes and coaches to fit the requirements of 21 sports, ranging from football to cycling. Accompanying each section are illustrated workout charts cross-referenced to freeweight, Nautilus and Universal exercise instructions. Other parts of this large-format work discuss drugs, injuries, nutrition, how themuscles work, training concepts and the history of resistance exercise.This book has few peers in the field.

This manual from a former Mr. Universe (Pearl) outlines over 70 programs to help the novice as well as the athlete in body building. There are programs for men and women for use with free weights or with machines. The book's organization is inconvenient, with warm-up and stretching treated last, but the exercise programs themselves are sound and easy to follow. Recommended for the larger health and fitness collection. Robert Schmid, Univ. of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical Sch. LRC, North Chicago
