 - no big dealThere are a bunch of excercices in here, ranging from weights & calisthenics, to heavy bag workouts and running. If you already train in martial arts, you might pick-up 3 or 4 good drills, or perhaps new variations on one you already do. Don't look to this book for inspiration or insight from Bruce -- there is none. It is a publication of pages and ideas from his training diaries, along with some editorial commentary. For inspiration, read the Tao of JKD, or *JKD -- commentaries on the martial way*. In my opinion, the editors of the Bruce Lee library are doing a disservice in publishing something as dry and non-engaging as *the art of expressing the H.B.* along with Bruce's books on JKD. Somewhat like publishing Herman Melville's shopping lists in a boxed set including Moby Dick and his short stories. Rating:  - Good but too much repititionThis is a book worth owning for those who are serious into Bruce Lee's workouts. Although the book repeats itself many times (this is where cross referencing comes in)! I was disappointed that the author interviews the same people we've heard from over and over. Let's get some more perspectives on Bruce from the OTHERS that trained with him. Rating:  - one of the best books i've ever readEverything is laid out for you, you simply figure out what it is you would like to improve on and follow the books advice. I began seeing almost immediate results, which inspired me to try other methods the book listed. I began using just the section on building up the arms, I've now moved on to chest, abs, and nutritional habits. I've read through this book several times and have come away learning something new each time. I would highly recommend it to anyone (martial artist or not) wanting to get into weight training Rating: - Wish I could give it more than five starsthis is a great book filled with weightlifting techniques for a martial artits, athlete or a anyone who just wants the physique. Rating: - Writing unimpressive, information goodThe author plainly didn't find the right editor to help him construct a clean and coherent book of this sort. I felt it was disorganized and all jumbled together--clumsy. Nevertheless, the book contains ample information that impressed me a great deal. I'd give it 1 star for quality and 6 stars for information. Buy it, it's cool.
