I've got that book too, but I think it's not mentioned because the book was a compilation of Bruce's notes and other stuff. He never really finished it himself.

one time i got in this fight in a bar. this real big hairy guy was pissin off this lady i was seein' so i told him to back off. he didnt listen. he swung at me. i punched him in the face, then unleashed my adamtanium claws and it was over. stabbed him with both hands, then military pressed him and threw him outta the bar. somehow he ran off. i heard them say his name was Sabretooth or something... til we meet again...
LeiYunFat said:Yep, look at all those other Asian movie stars- Donnie Yen, Jet Li (earlier years), that guy who played Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon...they were all huge compared to Bruce Lee. They all have similar genes.
i think that guy who played him in dragon is like his nephew or something his name is Jason scott lee

Ive read everthing he has writen or been involved in that I know of. Ive also trained with one of his 1st 40 students. he didnt do any weight training
well if you read this quote from the top of the page
The following material has been excerpted from the Ohara Publications Inc. book Bruce Lee: The Incomparable Fighter, authored by M. Uyehara, who was a close friend of the late martial artist.
Yeah I was very thin when i was 16. I could do all manner of pushups. I saw the shaolin monks stage show and they guy was doing 1 finger handstand push ups. so he was taking the whole weight of his body.
I conditioned my fingers through normal training, I started to do all my push ups on my 2nd knuckles, then tiger claw, then 3 finger tripod, then 2 finger, 1 finger, then 2 fingers with one hand. also did a lot of finger jabs to a soft punch bag. no other special magic way of doing it other than practice and being very skinny.

Yep, that's basically what iron conditioning does, cept you get educated on qi.
I did kung fu for a year, but im not so hot on chinese terminology, im more in to Japanese martial arts, we dont directly and knowingling use qi, the japs dont tend to get too deep in to that, they are directed more toward shear concentration which ends up with the same result, just with a diffrent view.
unfortunatly my love for weight training has taken over my life.
with the addition of a new house and girlfriend and job I had to chose karate or weight training. I chose weight training.
I got my shodan black belt a while back and have been training for 13yrs this year. I still have a personal lesson every month but I dont train everyday like I did in the past.

Bruce Lee's build was a combination of things
(A)genetics
(B)his training was very intense and specifically aimed at keeping a certan fitness level, which in turn kept him slim and toned which also worked to favour his fighting style. He was a whippit!
(C)His diet was very traditional to his culture. Chinese eat mostly fish, rice and veg (traditionally), unlike western culture where wheat, bread, dairy,meat and fast food play a large role.
(D)When he hurt his back steroids were used to help speed up his recovery, he was addicted to them for a short period of time.
