2. Weight lifting was one of the key points of Bruce
Lee’s workout methods.
As is well known, Bruce had a very strong urge to
be as physically fit as possible.
He was always working out some body part or doing
cardio work by running, skipping rope or riding an
exercise bike.

3. He was really way ahead of the times with some of
the things he was doing that concerned obtaining
functional strength or doing whole body workouts.

4. Bruce had always worked out with weights, but one
period of his life he concentrated more on this.
He normally believed in lifting heavy weight, but not
to the point of over exertion.

5. With the help of two body building friends, he worked
out a three days a week program and used simple
exercises like squats, dead lifts, curls and bench press.
He used the other days to do workouts that were not
overly strenuous.
Using this program his body weight went from 130
pounds to about 160 pounds.

6. Having gained this extra body mass, Bruce felt it
was too restricting to his style.
It was too much bulk for the speed of movement that
he needed, so eventually the weight came down.

7. He continued working out with weights but changed his
routine.
He also used weights during his martial arts training.
For example he would hold small weights in his hands
while practicing punches.
He could even be found using a dumb bell at any time,
even while doing other things like watching T.V. or
playing with his son Brandon.
