20 Tips For Building the Body of Legend Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee had one of the most iconic bodies in the film industry. Even the big-shots of bodybuilding like Joe Weider and Arnold Schwarzenegger have nothing but praises for him.

Here’s what Arnold Schwarzenegger has to say about Bruce:

“There’s a lot of people that do all those moves and they do have the skill, but they don’t look visually as believable or as impressive as Bruce Lee did.

He was one of a kind.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger

Even though Bruce looked small compared to most of today’s A-list celebrities, I bet most people would much rather look like Bruce instead of looking like a muscle-bound freak. But, to build muscle one must work hard and smart.

Most beginners waste precious time on stuff that just doesn’t work. As a result, they end up looking the same year in, year out.

By following the tips below, you’ll be able to instantly bypass beginner mistakes, pack on more muscles, and just feel good in your own skin.

Sound good?

Get ready to find out what it takes to get the body of a legendary movie star.

Start Lifting Weights

Join a gym and start lifting weights. If you want to look like Bruce Lee, then you need to have access to a barbell, squat rack, and a lot of weight plates. Body weight exercises just won’t cut it.

You can also train at home, as long as you’re ready to spend some money on a good power rack, a well-built bench, and a 300-pound barbell set. You can get all three items for less than $1,000 on Amazon.

Obviously, if your budget won’t take this expense, focus on the remaining tips in this post.

The 80/20 Rule

The 80/20 rule says that 80% of your results come from 20% of your work. The same rule holds true if you lift weights. 80% of your muscle and strength gains come from just 3 lifts.

Enter the The Big Trio:

  • Deadlift
  • Squat
  • Bench press

Unlike most lifts, The Big Trio works your whole body. The more muscles a lift works, the bigger the spike of muscle building hormones.

Do Less, Be Intense

At the heart of each of your workouts should be just a few lifts on which you give 100%. The more you stress your body, the bigger the spike of muscle building hormones while you sleep. It’s that simple.

You need to let your body know that you want more brawn. The best way to do that is to train with intensity.

Log Your Workouts

Make Your First Set the Heaviest

If any set counts, it’s the first one. The logic here is that in the first sets of your lifts, your muscle fuel stores are filled up to the max. That’s why your muscles will be able to exert the greatest amount of force.

With this in mind, try to do your main lifts at the start of your workout and make sure you give 100% while you’re at it.

Learn Proper Lifting Technique

Lift with good form and you shall reap the rewards. To be able to train long term with no injuries is a blessing many fail to grasp. Guys just can’t wait to be all jacked so they end up doing stupid stuff that gets them hurt.

Most of the time, good form is sacrificed in order to be able to add a few extra pounds to the bar. Spend those extra 2 to 3 weeks at the start and work on your lifting form. Once you move on to big weights, you’ll be glad you did that.

Warm-Up Before Exercising

This is the first step of your two-part warm up drill. At the start of each workout, you must spend a few minutes to get your heart rate up. A light cycle session of 5 to 8 minutes, done in a brisk way,will do the trick.

When you do this, you raise your body’s temperature, your joints get lubricated and as whole, your body gets ready to bear the load of your workout.

Stretch Before Exercising

This is the next part of your warm-up drill. You should do it right after your cycle session. When I say stretching I don’t mean hold the muscle stretched for minutes on end. More and more scientific studies tell us that that’s bad if your goal is to lift more weights. Do dynamic stretches.

They are a great way to transition from rest to high-intensity exercise since they work your muscles through a full range of motion and make your…
