Bruce Lee's workout routine?

[Blowfish]

Does anyone know about Bruce Lee's training routine? Since I'm Asian and short, it doesn't look nice if I bulk up, but I'd rather aim for a physic like Lee or perhaps Donnie Yen (www.donnieyen.com).

It'll be great if anyone could lead me to a site where they explain Lee's training routine or have actual knowledge.

take some martial-arts class or something. You can find them everywhere.

^ No that's no what I meant... I was merely talking about his weight, speed and abs training, and not his martial arts training. I am taking kickboxing classes now...

But yes I have found a site which contained all his workout routine... i'd thought I'd share it with you people.

According to that website, they didn't specifically mention Bruce's diet, they did say that he never specifically mentioned his diet, and he'd eat anything from pork, chicken, fish, beef, vegetables. He ate chinese food like myself, so that would include a lot of rice because its our staple food. He drank a lot of water so yea...

Just thought you people want to know.

His weight training methods are outdated now, if he was in his prime now, he'd be training diffrently.

he still looked good nonetheless.

You're not gonna look big overnight. Hit the weights and then maintain when you get where you want.
