wide grip pull-ups probably! among other exercises of course, but pull-ups really focus on your back the most

I would imagine alot of cardio and pushups. Dont lift really heavy weights just focus on repetitions. Bruce's workout was crazy so good luck!

when you do pull ups dont try to get your chin over the bar, try to get body parrel to the ground and your midsection to the bar same thing if you use a rowing machine, row to your abs not your chin.

do a mix of close grip and wide grip pull ups focusing more on the close grip, but make sure to do both.

Punch alot.

That area you see in the pic that looks like a Cobra's head, is called the Lattissumus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latissimus_dorsi_muscle Look up "lat" workouts as they are known and you will grow that muscle. Will be hard to get the Bruce Lee look because it depends on your height and width of your body and I believe also how big your back blades are. Most of the workouts that will help it are pulling with a shoulder length apart grip. Whether your sitting on a chair pulling a cable with weights at the other end. Doing overhand pull ups. Or a pull down bar with weights on the other end. Those heavily focus your lats.

bruce did not want huge arms is arms were defined and proportioned to his size and overall physique this is what gave bruce power and speed if he would of pumped is arms up he would of lost some of the power and speed due to the difference in changing is natural comfort level

also notice that his pants are up by his belly button like a boxers trunks accentuating the contrast between the narrowest part of his midsection and the widest.
