It's all in this book, The Art of Expressing the Human Body

Bruce's book, The Art of Expressing the Human Body, covers his workouts and training methods.

Chaos and Pain has an article (nsfw) on Bruce, detailing some of his exercise routines which included:

• Clean & Press
  
• Squats
  
• Pullovers
  
• Bench Presses
  
• Good Mornings
  
• Barbell Curls

I read the Art of Expressing the Human Body and it describes what kind of training Bruce did through the years. It is a pretty cool book that I suggest thumbing through every once in a while.

That said I am pretty sure Bruce also worked in the lower rep ranges as well although I will have to look through the book to be sure.

Another thing also was that Bruce was a nut when it came to reading about fitness. Obviously if he were alive today he would be training a lot different due to the vast amounts of data/information we have been graced with via the internet. There has been no better time to be into fitness.

here. This book was written off of his workout journals. He was a big fan of isometrics, something that you don't see anymore.

Here is a book detailing his training regiment.

I know right! There is actually a book available that details his training regimens (though he did use some weights) http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Expressing-Human-Body/dp/0804831297

Some people (myself included) would tend to recommend that teenagers not get too obsessed about stuff like this. Just eat healthy, exercise, stay safe and out of trouble, try new things (like sports), learn and learn to like learning, and have fun.

You have plenty of time to become "seriously fit". Bruce Lee, who I've heard some people jokingly call 'the fittest person ever,' didn't start exercising (cardio and strength training) until he was about 24[1].

As long as you're growing and making progress, worrying about the extra details aren't necessary.

1. Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human Body.

I believe that's from The Art of Expressing the Human Body which is a great read. Lots of great ideas for working out and Bruce's ideas are awesome motivation.

Here's his book on how to train like him by him.


The Art of Expressing the Human Body by Bruce Lee and John Little

And how to fight like him here

A book can be helpful for learning weight lifting techniques. I used The Art of Expressing the Human Body by Bruce Lee. That book is full of great instructions, pictures and illustrations of proper weight lifting techniques. The machines he used may be considered primitive by today's standards but the underlying pulley mechanics haven't changed even if the equipment looks fancier. Read up, plan your workout before you go in to the gym and just concentrate doing your planed routine for the day. Bring it with you and use it for reference if you need to. Eventually you will start to feel comfortable going to your gym. You will learn the etiquette (it's usually: "Yo, you using this?" and, wiping your sweat off the benches) and you will fit right in.

I have his book called The Art of Expressing the Human Body and it deals almost entirely with his workout routine. It's a super good reference to have.

The art of expressing the human body. There are more efficient ways of strength training and building muscle than those listed in this book, but this will give you an idea of how he went about it.

Why don't you start by getting Bruce Lee's book? The Art of Expressing The Human Body.

Find a good Yoga class, one revolving around stretching and relaxation. That's the best thing you can do for your flexibility. If you are unwilling to workout at a gym, get at least some good dumb bells and a good bar bell with some weights. You can now work any muscle in your body with those two free weights. As far as which exercising to do? well there's a wealth of information out there on weight lifting and I would suggest you take time to read a good amount of it while you get used to working out. This book is a really great resource for free weight/non-gym workouts.

The Tao of Jeet Kun Do

This one is the one I'm most familiar with. It's all rooted in martial arts philosophy but you'll find a way to apply it. He's brilliant that way.

How to Express the Human Body

I don't do martial arts any more but when I did this book (despite the title) helped with the supplemental exercises.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Expressing-Human-Body/dp/0804831297 this book was the greatest work out philosophy book I've ever read. It doesn't have to much about running but provides a great drive to keep you pushing for longer, faster, and harder.
