Bruce Lee was and still is an icon for many people. Despite his short-lived career in Hollywood, the martial artist and actor managed to create an image of himself even Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson can't match: Bruce Less was the original 'hardest worker in the room'. And we have even more proof of this now that someone resurfaced his arm workout routine from the mid-60s. Brace yourself – it's absolutely bonkers.
The exercise list card from Hak Keung Gymnasium is dated 27 May 1965, and among other things, it shows how little muscle-building principles have changed over the years. Apart from some of the funny naming conventions – for example, 'French Press' doesn't refer to the coffee-making device – the exercises Bruce Lee used to get big arms are the same bodybuilders these days use to increase muscle mass.
