Well, what torrent program are you using? I use Utorrent. I have no problems with torrents. Maybe your ISP doesn't allow you to download torrents? I would upload the books but I'm on a 64/256k connection... Long wait. Maybe someone else could though.

Most book stores either caryy the books or will oreder the books. Now what bruce did to train well that was for bruce to get the results he wanted. You can use those methods But will get the results that you get from them. Do not train towards getting like Bruce train towards becoming your best.
Wahhh!!! I wanted to say it...

He was a very good fighter because he trained so much but that definitely doesn't mean he was healthy. He took steroids and chewed hash of some sort so just look at how he became so good at fighting not whether he was healthy. Apart from training really really hard he also trained pretty much every waking hour.

And where did you get your info. Its easy to say something Bruce trained hard to get wher he was. also He really looked into what he believed would help him. as far as the different arts . Every person that trains hard will become better. Few really do this if you look at the thousands training M/A and not going beyond the average Those stand outs such as Bruce are noticed by others. Some find excuses on why they became better and look for a way to discredit them.
I have always said Bruce trained one day at a time. As far as your training goes be yourself do not try to be someone else what works for them may not work that way for you.

Sendo, If you really want to learn how Bruce trained do the proper research. His training methods can be found all over the internet. Although reading The Tao of Jeet Kune Do, and the Warrior Within will also help you learn the concepts, so that you can know the meaning of why and how he trained. Do the research, and take a part of what is best for you.
Also I wont mention names, but as far as I have researched it wouldnt have been in Bruce's nature to take steroids. The guy hated shortcuts, and he actually weighed more when he began his weight training then he did when he died, at the peak of it. He was about 150 at 5' 7''. When he died he was about 126 pounds. Just look at his size in Fist of Fury, and then look at him in Enter the Dragon.
If anything he trained too hard, but he didn't take steroids. Its really sad that people dismiss all the hard work and sacrifices that the man went through, simply because they cannot fathom a person looking the way he did, naturally.

He didn't do just one method. He did what any aspiring and amibitious individual does and constantly researched and refined his training methods, keeping what worked for him and discarding the rest.
BL is best used for inspiration not as an example. What worked for him might not work for you and there is so much BS in print on the internet about his life and what he did or didn't do, that you should take everything with a pinch of salt.

I would buy the book that was mentioned. Art of Expressing the Human Body by John Little. It kind of progresses from his early training methods to his later training methods and also includes his notes and training journals.
The problem with his training was towards the end he was so spontaneous with what he wanted to do he didn't really keep records like he did in his early days. He would keep equipment lying around the house so he could train whereever he was at. He also had a lot of custom equipment made for himself.
As to whether or not he used steriods. No one knows, it has been rumored that he has but two things need to be considered. 1) Steriods could be obtained and where not banned/illegal substances like today and 2) Even IF he did (no proof that he did), that still doesn't change that you still have to work your butt off to get the results he did. He obviously didn't use steriods to gain muscle mass like bodybuilder's do.
