thaiboxerken Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 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. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

Synaesthesia Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockSOLLIDD Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 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!!!!
