Unbelievable Strength
Lee's feats of strength are the stuff of legend; from performing push-ups - on one hand! - or thumbs only pushups, to supporting a 125-pound barbell at arms length in front of him (with elbows locked) for several seconds, or sending individuals (who outweighed him by as much as 100 pounds in some instances) flying through the air and landing some 15 feet away as a result of a punch that Lee delivered from only one-inch away, the power that Bruce Lee could generate -- at a mere bodyweight of 135 pounds -- is absolutely frightening. Not to mention some of his other nifty little habits like thrusting his fingers through full cans of Coca-Cola and sending 300 pound heavy bags slapping against the ceiling with a simple side kick.
Strength training -- qua strength training -- was Lee's primary objective with resistance exercise. Later, as we shall soon see, his training evolved into more specialized applications that were beneficial to his specific goals as a martial artist. But before we get to there, let's first take a look at how Lee was first drawn to bodybuilding

Mike Mentzer was famous for his heavy duty training which might nt work for everyone of us, depends on genetics...

There is only two ex in this routine which is nt commonly seen in Singapore's gym...
Clean and Press and Good Mornings...
Go to www.bodybuilding.com and search for the exs. -
squats also not very common in sg gyms.
Face it, a lot of people regardless of nationality hardly ever train legs, including me
clean and press is an olympic movement -
i dun think the ppl here would interested in these workout routines. those who are into fitness wouldve done their research somewhere else....
btw, bruce lee and tony jaa are not real martial artists...they are action MOVIE STARS, not real fighters. Tony used to be a stuntman before acting in 'Ong Bak'.
He wouldnt stand a chance against real fighters who train their whole life to fight, instead of doing flashy somersaults -

1) Bruce Lee was a martial artist, he started by learning Wing Chun and he was the founder of Jeet Kune Do...
2) Tony Jaa is a stuntman but he was also a Muay Thai boxer...
3) Wing Chun and Muay Thai are considered martial arts so learning those skills does make them martial artists.
4) In case U dunno, Bruce Lee was a very very gd fighter, he accepted challenges from other martial artists when he was still alive and he spars too...
5) Action movie stars are ppl like Jackie Chan nt real martial artists like Bruce Lee...
Pls young man gt Ur facts right before stating them...
Cheers... -

Bruce Lee Teaches Martial Arts in a dojo which he and his wife opened. He also invented his style of fighting called Jeet Kun Do! I believe he can beat any professional fighter of his time.Originally posted by alkaiden:i dun think the ppl here would interested in these workout routines. those who are into fitness wouldve done their research somewhere else....
