The legendary training plan of Bruce Lee went viral recently, with many commenters giving their two cents about its efficacy. Now, to put the programme to the test, hybrid athlete James Pieratt took part in Bruce Lee's training, dietary and supplement programmes for 30 days, and details the results.
Pieratt explains that prior to the 30-day experiment he had three surgeries in four months coming into the holiday season. 'This year I slowed down,' he says. 'I put on a good amount of body fat and I essentially – I mean I have to admit it – I lost a bit of focus.
'So coming into this experiment I was really excited to kind of connect with Bruce Lee's philosophy and his mindset, get my mind back on track and do all of his training and his diet exactly how he did it in the peak phase of his career before his death and see what it did for my body, my physique and my my speed.'
