Bruce Lee wasn't strong, he just had good body mechanics. He did not bench press 400#, for instance. However, he could subdue much larger and stronger people because of mechanics.

One important fact my brother taught me is that stretching can actually help you generate a lot more power.

 

New muscle cells develop because of microtears in the muscle. Apparently, an effective stretching regimen can produce microtears, and consequently muscle growth. The muscles produced will bulge less and be longer, thus allowing power to be delivered over a long range of joint movement.

actually, bruce lee was still considerably strong. hecouldnt bench 400lbs because thats not what type of exercise he would do. he would do sport-specific trainig. either way, it is rumored that he was indeed very strong.

 

big wt. + low reps = strength without size

 

mid weight + 10-15 reps = some strength, lots o bulk

 

low weight, high reps = sculpting

 

low wt. (explosive movement) + high reps = best for martial arts

 

Bruce lee was naturally small, so he could gain vast amounts of strength, without looking bulky.

Keep it intense!!!!
