Does anyone really think he was on steroids? I mean reality check here. Steroids mainly work by helping to build extra muscle mass.
That was not Bruce Lee's interest. He was into power which comes from speed and strength combined which is why is he was such an explosive martial artist. He trained himself to become explosive and powerful.
Ya he was cut, but he never weighed more than 140lbs when he was! He actually did a traditional bodybuilding style diet and trianing program and bulked up to 165lbs at one point, but he didn;t liek the way it slowed him down, so he dropped the extra muscel mass.
Bruce was ripped, but he didn't have big muscles nor was he all that strong in the way you typically think of strength.
Bruce was asian. Nuff said on that. Bruce ran 5 or more days a week and was a cardio fiend. He lifted 3 days a week generally, but did ab work and martial arts like every day. He was so flippin active. That's why he was ripped.
I highly doubt he ever took steroids, and if he did it probably was winny or primo or something mild.
It was rumored that he smoked herb and also took speed, both which I can believe.
