The Secrets to Bruce Lee's Training

Bruce Lee the mere mention of his name conjures up images of those kung fu movies of the 70s and 80s. Where would Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan and Jet Li... just to mention a few-- be today if it hadn't been for Bruce Lee?

Bruce Lee was not a big man-- he stood 5 foot seven and only weighted approximately 135 pounds but what made him stand out was his lean, muscular physique. They now refer to this as the "Bruce Lee Body."

In the Bruce Lee body the muscles were not the bloated kind you see on today's modern bodybuilder-- instead you saw a V-tapered and, ripped to the bones physique.

Bruce Lee popularized the current day-- Hollywood body of the A-list actors. No longer is it acceptable today for an action star to appear in a movie out of shape without being lean, ripped, defined and with six pack abs.

This is the look that Bruce Lee brought to the screen in the 1970s.

Some have asked-- what prompted Bruce Lee to get into such incredible physical conditioning? As the story goes in 1964, Bruce Lee then a relatively unknown, ended up in a fight with Wong Jack Man -- a no holds barred event.

Bruce Lee won the fight but after the fight he was disgusted with his performance -- he felt he should have defeated him faster -- he felt his strength and conditioning were subpar -- his kicks and strikes needed to be more powerful -- and his lungs were screaming for air.

Out of this came a new generation of martial artist-a muscular, yet ripped to the bone-- Bruce Lee Body!

After the fight Bruce began a strength, conditioning and endurance training program -- as well as his own martial art named Jeet Kune do -- "the Way of the intercepting fist"

But Lee was still a far cry from the muscular physique that you see on the screen today -- he had bad genetics -- he was skinny and stringing -- he had very little musculature on a slight frame.

He researched all that he could his main focus -- building power, speed and strength. He left no stone unturned.

Regardless of whether you want to gain maximum muscle size or lose body fat-- or both. The correct exercise equipment and nutrition program are essential.
