Training strenght and power near or above 90% of 1rm does cost speed and explosiviness. So most fighters and sprinters dont lift to heavy to often. They do sport specific strenght workouts and more hiit. Thats why i use periodization blocks for each. As for Bruce he was more focused on fighting performance, technique, skills and speed. I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. Bruce Lee.
When I was a kid I was amazed how ripped Bruce Lee was. Now when I'm older I am even more amazed how he achieved such great physique! What a legend so ahead of time.

They just argue and attack instead of thinking objectively. It’s emotional for them, not logical. He was incredibly influential in a number of ways. Some deliberately, some by accident.

He trained his forearms daily for isolated kinetics in hard and wrist trappings where he'd lock an opponent's wrists mid strike(s) and simultaneously deliver a series of devastating blows between trappings making it impossible for the opponent to realize that they are being hurt very badly until the moment of contact takes a brief recess. These would have been extremely accurate blows by the way. We have not seen this level of fight science even til this day amongst pro fighters.

Bruce trained 2 hrs a day. Each workout focused on different aspects of what Bruce felt were the attributes most important to being an effective martial artist (speed, strength, endurance, flexibility, agility, and balance). Anyone has the time for that. The key is maximizing intensity during those two hrs and being consistent. I highly recommend reading The Art of Expressing The Human Body.

I was introduced to Bruce at the age of 6 , my 1st martial arts film was enter the dragon , and I was interested in Bruce Lee all of my life , I will always be indebted to him for my interest in all things martial arts , and I even trained in Chinese boxing under Phil coen .

Couple corrections: The term dynamic tension was used widely up until the 80s because of the Charles Atlas program which Bruce used quite a bit. The 1 inch punch power is generated from the rear heel. Grip strength was essential in trapping which is why he trained it so much
To put things into perspective Bruce could deadlift 721Ibs, the strongest pound for pound lifter today does 608Ibs. Bruce could hold a 90Ib barbell in front of him for over 30 seconds, he could pierce the old style coke cans with just one finger. He could do 1500 push ups without a rest, 400 one handed push ups and 100 thumb push ups. Having mastered fencing and Chah chah he could jump in and reverse jump out of any situation. Bruce was essentially a street fighter, he used his films to show at times what he had been through on the streets of Hong Kong. Having tested Bruce and Muhammad Ali , both fighters had the same punching strength. Bruce's punching strength actually came from his Lats which were abnormally large. With the use of his trans ab core and hips plus a slightly downward punching motion generated from his lats he could punch as hard as a heavyweight. He refused to fight professionally, and with that sort of twitch speed and strength he did any potential opponents a favour if you ask me.
@@vivekveer3272 it was in a working handbook, with excerpts from his gym workouts signed by himself and two trainers. Remember there is photographic evidence that his hips, core and lats were abnormally strong due to quality and quantity of training he did over the years.
@L C I think he ate a lot of sea food and helped his body recover by doing Tai Chi Chuan. Bruce was also naturally healthy and strong but even so it went wrong for him when he slipped a disc when he did a good morning with incorrect form. It just goes to show its not about how many reps you can do, its about how many reps with good form you can do till failure in sets of 3 or more. Peace.
One big correction here; in martial arts, you genereate power through your core and BACK, sure, but the strength comes from the legs primarily. Of course, the whole body should be integrated.
put some respeck on my name no tf it's not I spent 8 years boxing you obviously don't know sjit about punching power punching power is all about the technique and genetics of a person that's why Mike Tyson hit harder than guys way bigger than him right ? Because of his height huh ? That's why guys smaller can sometimes hit harder than guys bigger than them right ? Gtfoh
put some respeck on my name sounds good but your still wrong even on TH-cam all the boxing trainers tell u punching power is genetic and technique have u ever boxed ? I bet not gtfoh punching power ain't about height dumbest shit ever
It's amazing to think he was pioneering concepts in fitness, nutrition, martial arts and human performance that we all worship now. His feats were amazing but his tenacity and inquisitiveness are really inspiring. Great vid Bioneer. I'm loving your channel mate. :)
Wow. This is old. You have come a very long way! No more shifting weight all the time, way more built up now, just as enthusiastic, so developed. So much accomplishment! I just wish I had found you sooner. Especially this video. My favorite so far! Imma Bruciphile.
I love the energy here Bruce Lee is a hero of mine. But MMA stems from Greeko Roman times in the art of Pankration (pan meaning All and Kratos meaning Martial or Power.) It was here MMA developed. Its my favorite.
I just finished his book the warrior within, if you haven't read it I would definitely suggest it. It's mainly about his philosophy, a really interesting read.
@@yahyachafiq4112 I'm assuming that you were referring to the original Fight Science special that National Geographic ran. Even a 10 year old who's played Little League, or even t-ball understands this principle. They understand that the power generators when they swing their bat comes from their hip.
Martial artists back then didn’t take physical fitness seriously. He was a role model for me and millions of others. He was so far ahead of his time in cross training.
Bruce Lee has been the man that inspire me the most in all my life... the man with the best lessons, clear vision, open minded and wisdom... A serious athlete completely dedicated and a great man, human being, rest in pace Bruce you gonna be on my heart through your teachings
great vid, only thing i'd say not to do is running with weight on your back. It will absolutely ruin your knees in the long term. if you want to run with weights use ankle weights, so all the pressure is below your knees.
All of your videos made me realize I'm not training to become strong, I'm training to understand the vehicle I use and improve the relationship I have with it. mind and body Develop Synchronicity through strong communication during duress, like a healthy relationship should be. It brings new meaning to the adage "Know thyself".
What a great video. Well thought out and flows without stops. Unlike the incredibly annoying videos of today where the video is a series of stops and restarts (edits), this man goes through the entire video speaking naturally and intelligently. Very refreshing and professional. Hope to see more of your videos on any topic! Cheers
Outstanding video! I like your analysis of what Bruce Lee meant by Expressing himself. I always thought Bruce meant emotional integrity when he talked about this. But what you have said, im sure is also true. If a car has parts which dont function correctly, a driver can not get the most from it. In the same way if Bruce Lees body/mind/spirit is not in perfect order, and expression he wants to make will be limited by the weakest part.

If you're trying to train like Bruce Lee, this is the way to go. If you just care about his speed it honestly comes down to two things: 1- Strength training so you're muscles have the power to move at higher speeds (a 5x5 weight routine should be good for this) and 2- Neurological speed. This is the part that makes him so capable of striking quickly. Believe it or not you could get this kind of speed by going on the computer, installing a program such as Aimlab or similar aim trainers and working on your aiming speed in games. This will over time increase the speed your brain reacts and thinks and when your mind thinks faster, it thinks faster overall. Even though you're reacting faster to a video game, you'll find that you walk faster, when you drive at a certain speed, it'll seem slower than it used to etc. All that's left after that is doing some punching and kicking practice just so your body gets used to striking at those faster speeds.
Actually Goku was preety much following a standard program. Whenever he went to a higher gravity he would first do 5000 push ups and sit ups and than would do variations with weights.
Daoist philosophy ,flexability,focus,relaxedness. Attributes in wing chun , using both hands and legs at the same time ,awakens the right and left hemisphere to work together. In normal life without learning these attributes ,one hemisphere of the brain works at a time. balance becomes harder to achieve and all other attributes are harder to master.
Bruce was a legend, if only he was still alive.. great video man.. this is awesome.. I wish someone would make a work out series dvds of nothing but bruce lee type training
Love the video, Bruce Lee is one of my biggest inspirations to keep on training and developing my body and keep doing martial arts. Thank you for a very in-depth video, subbed!
I was a fitness fanatic 10 years ago but had serious burnout. I never wanted to do a pushup or sqaut again but watching Bruce Lee makes me wanna get back to it. Arrrrrggggghhhhh
Be like water. Water takes the shape of its container. Make your workout take the shape of your time. Yes, please more Bruce videos! You have a new subscriber b/c of this video🖖👌✌️
After studying external martial arts for over 20 years I was fortunate to meet a really good martial artist who studied in China. He opened a new world to me and a number of others who followed in my footsteps and started studying the internal martial arts. I also learned a termed called "Fa Jing" look it up. I also learned how to improve my power by using body dynamics. To learn and improve one must be humble.
Will give this ago definitely. I highly recommend Bruce Lee s book ,"striking point " is something I have enjoyed n become more wiser with life! Great upload buddy!
It's good to see some people understand how Bruce did the one inch punch. You can see him fire off his feet and transfer the energy all the way to his fist. It's not that difficult. Kicking is the same you gotta push off the ground with the opposite leg . That's where your power comes from.
He was a wonderful person. A true philosopher.Pound for pound, there was no one stronger. He was too dedicated to his training. He over trained. He trained too much. For an ultimate fight or battle that just never came.He never knew how to relax or give his body a rest. His friends even have said, as much. I guess the drugs didn't help him either.
Commenting six years later (& repeating what I've said on other videos), Lee's isometric program came straight from "Functional Isometric Contraction" written by Bob Hoffman of York Barbell in 1961. (The program was actually created by Dr. John Ziegler for Louis Reicke, a York Barbell lifter; it was one of three methods listed in the book.) Although they could be used for safety when benching or squatting, the power racks York was producing at the time (like the one Lee is using at 8:30) were meant mainly for isometrics. The device Lee is using at 8:41 is a homemade version of one that York produced, as well.
That was an excellent video. A lot of those exercises you spoke about I learned from the Arnold Schwarzenegger's lifting encyclopedia's. I never read anything from Bruce Lee. I will be looking into his exercise wisdom thanks to this video. Thank you and I just subscribed.
Thank you! I love Arnie's Modern Encyclopedia! Bruce has a lot of interesting ideas too. The best book for that one is 'The Art of Expressing the Human Body' :-)
Hello from Mississippi. I would love some more videos about Bruce Lee. I hope to start incorporating his philosophy into my workout. I am sure my workout may not be as intense,but I will keep up updated on my progress.Great video please keep up the good work.
Osurac Rennet Well. Always dragon ball remember me Bruce Lee... in fact the moment when goku died and gohan trained with piccolo, remember me the Brandon Lee sad situation, training with Dan Inosanto, after the Bruce death. And like this, another more situations.
I'm not training in any sense but your description was very interesting and the way you admire Bruce , this is the proper way to understand him and his training , THANK you !
This is a really well done video that I learnt a lot from concerning Bruce Lee's training methods. One thing that concerned me is if someone was holding you hostage behind the camera lol. Blink twice if you are in danger
I think I can vouch for many people when I say I appreciate how much effort you put into your videos, this is actually the first video of yours I’ve seen but I can appreciate your effort and I really enjoyed this video.
They say he was at his side hoes house and she gave him a pill for his headache that she had before but they didn’t want him found with her so if they thought less about his image and acted faster he might’ve been okay but probably not
Shoulders must be trained with care. I warm my shoulders for about 10 minutes with just rotating my arms in many directions. Barbell lifts are fine after this. Heavy bag work gives you good shoulders. A small waist helps a lot, too.
Ben Salinas tha core, legs, shoulders. the core generates power and protection from body shots. the legs to keep footwork active for all rounds and generate power. the shoulders to keep hands up and keep throwing punches
Ben Salinas and don't forget the back.. the back is where a lot of your body gathers power from.. best fighters have insanely powerful backs.. I would recommend pull ups.. 10 sets of 15 every day no less or you may develop more bulk. Less reps equals more bulk more reps equals more conditioned muscles... become a conditioned fighter not explosive unless you want to wear out fast
Clear Combat Self Defense and Fighting System *Look up Jeff Cavalier... he'll show you how to get shoulder mobility in about 2m. I wont pretend like I understand, just go watch his PT vids
@@bensalinas8804 Quids and hamstrings. Glutes. Core. Back. Shoulders. Quids and Hams can be worked with squats and deadlifts. Glutes with hip thrusts and glute bridges. There are great core exercises. Back with pull ups, rows and rack pulls. Shoulders with overhead press and delt raises.
I appreciate you sharing these techniques. I don’t have a gym membership right now and I’m not working right now so I have all this time at home. Thank you
I’ve only just found your channel, and now I know why I like you. 🙏🏼 ☯️ I was so obsessed by Bruce back in the day, I trained at one of only two JKD places in the U.K. (with Sifu Dave Carnell), had over 25 Bruce Lee books and met Linda Lee Cadwell (+husband ‘Bruce’, lol), Shannon Lee and got them to sign their books. 🥰 Oh, and also met John Little (the only guy to have full access to Bruce’s entire library. (I bought his book and got him to sign it too. 😬)
Beuce Lee really was a revolutionary in applying new exercises to be shown in the world. Of course he isn’t the founder of such exercises but his research and influence helped to stem a different outlook in fitness and physical therapy for exercises
Best video on his training yet! I've read his books and researched myself. Great Job! But 11:14 Lee coined that "Dynamic Tension" Everything else in here is Fire! Yo what was the name of that small guy in the video who is one of the strongest pound for pound? Thanx
this was a great video! not only for the content but this being from 6 years ago i can see how far you've come along in presentation and confidence in front of the camera!
Bruce had the time. He was primarily part-time kung fu teacher, part-time TV actor. He got by. It looks like he would train about 2, to 2 and, an half hours a day. He ran every day. Lift weights every other day. Worked his abs every day. Practiced techniques, all the time. He'd have a morning workout. Then an afternoon run. Then he would have some kind of night training session. That's about 45 minutes each workout session. That's doable. if you're not working a regular job. If you have a regular job? 2 hours? No way. Maybe an hour tops... Per day. If you're serious. Bruce had the time and he used it well.

Having tested Bruce and Muhammad Ali , both fighters had the same punching strength. Bruce's punching strength actually came from his Lats which were abnormally large. With the use of his trans ab core and hips plus a slightly downward punching motion generated from his lats he could punch as hard as a heavyweight. He refused to fight professionally, and with that sort of twitch speed and strength he did any potential opponents a favour if you ask me.
Can you tell me the source of this information? I am kind of sceptical of some of the information here.
@@vivekveer3272 it was in a working handbook, with excerpts from his gym workouts signed by himself and two trainers. Remember there is photographic evidence that his hips, core and lats were abnormally strong due to quality and quantity of training he did over the years.
@@DylanFowler Ok. Also yes, his lats are huge.
@L C I think he ate a lot of sea food and helped his body recover by doing Tai Chi Chuan. Bruce was also naturally healthy and strong but even so it went wrong for him when he slipped a disc when he did a good morning with incorrect form. It just goes to show its not about how many reps you can do, its about how many reps with good form you can do till failure in sets of 3 or more. Peace.
@Biff Tannen's Dad thanks for the corrections, but at least you proved that you understood the gist of what I was trying to say.
One big correction here; in martial arts, you genereate power through your core and BACK, sure, but the strength comes from the legs primarily. Of course, the whole body should be integrated.
Althrough i tend to agree your hip is connected highly to your power abbs also
Simplicity's
punching power is mostly genetic
put some respeck on my name no tf it's not I spent 8 years boxing you obviously don't know sjit about punching power punching power is all about the technique and genetics of a person that's why Mike Tyson hit harder than guys way bigger than him right ? Because of his height huh ? That's why guys smaller can sometimes hit harder than guys bigger than them right ? Gtfoh
put some respeck on my name sounds good but your still wrong even on TH-cam all the boxing trainers tell u punching power is genetic and technique have u ever boxed ? I bet not gtfoh punching power ain't about height dumbest shit ever
It's amazing to think he was pioneering concepts in fitness, nutrition, martial arts and human performance that we all worship now. His feats were amazing but his tenacity and inquisitiveness are really inspiring. Great vid Bioneer. I'm loving your channel mate. :)
Wow. This is old. You have come a very long way! No more shifting weight all the time, way more built up now, just as enthusiastic, so developed. So much accomplishment! I just wish I had found you sooner. Especially this video. My favorite so far! Imma Bruciphile.
And I've had mma fanboys try to tell me that Bruce Lee wouldn't have had the endurance to last in a fight against today's mma fighters. Xp
Lol they do not know who the father of MMA is!
MMA wouldn't have existed without the Master Bruce Lee!!!
@@pujix8934 Exaclty that's my point!
He would out class any MMA fighter
I love the energy here Bruce Lee is a hero of mine. But MMA stems from Greeko Roman times in the art of Pankration (pan meaning All and Kratos meaning Martial or Power.) It was here MMA developed. Its my favorite.
I grew up some muscle just by watching this video.
Ahhahaah! Me too
Grew some* goofy ass. Come back after 4 years and fix that please
@@ren.8137 I lasted 4 months in the gym, got really fed up with it.
I just finished his book the warrior within, if you haven't read it I would definitely suggest it. It's mainly about his philosophy, a really interesting read.
Yes! Martial arts technique begins with the hips and the feet! By knowing this, you already have a deeper understanding than many martial artists!
Any amateur, or even recreational boxer understands this.
@@palabrajot505 Even I
who know nothing about martial art
know it from National geo
@@yahyachafiq4112
I'm assuming that you were referring to the original Fight Science special that National Geographic ran.
Even a 10 year old who's played Little League, or even t-ball understands this principle. They understand that the power generators when they swing their bat comes from their hip.
@@palabrajot505 exactly. Imagine swinging a baseball bat without any rotation. The power could be decreased by up to 10× (in some cases)
The Tao of Jeet Kune Do- the book written by Bruce Lee. All you need.
Mike Hamilton I have it what you really need is art of expressing the human body
I've read that book. It's very good and gives you a lot of insight on martial arts.
Hristo
oh yes, ten thousand push ups and sit ups daily to begin your pow of Tao jeet kune do do. 😳
Martial artists back then didn’t take physical fitness seriously. He was a role model for me and millions of others. He was so far ahead of his time in cross training.
The words “Bruce lee” make me happy
Me too!!!
Lol now it makes me happy too
Bruce Lee has been the man that inspire me the most in all my life... the man with the best lessons, clear vision, open minded and wisdom... A serious athlete completely dedicated and a great man, human being, rest in pace Bruce you gonna be on my heart through your teachings
Bruce was not one of the best
He is the best
You're right. HERE WAS THE BEST!!!!!
The 1
Still one of the best
I find as I get older (48 now), I have to spend way more time stretching. The propencity for injury is very great!
I'm 30 now, I love stretching. I spend 10-15 mins a day doing stretching exercises. my gf looks at me weird but it FEELS SO GOOD> haha
Turned 39 the body now requires more tlc than before. Prone to more injuries
Strength stretch and dynamic stretch and movement mobility in the day and static before bed for safest best results.
Mashallah Ya Omar that is a lot of degrees you have. I am stuck after graduating Dentistry ...
Im 54 and find pilates very helpful.
Who else feels stronger and more explosive having watched Bruce Lee. Such an inspiring man.
Great video, I learned a lot from it. There were some tips and tricks I had no idea were even effective. Thank you. Long live Bruce Lee.
8:45 that's a fore arm workout to increase punching power.
that's why he's holding it with the knuckles facing upwards.
Does that actually help punching power
great vid, only thing i'd say not to do is running with weight on your back. It will absolutely ruin your knees in the long term. if you want to run with weights use ankle weights, so all the pressure is below your knees.
God Of Losers yea but that still will cause problems
I used to run with a 35 lb ruck sack in the army
@@kepheramanjet3244 why only 35lb?,were you packing it light?
Was probably not in a combat role. I was Signal and the ruck marches were only 35lbs rucks.
Wouldn't even do that. Running should be bodyweight only.
All of your videos made me realize I'm not training to become strong, I'm training to understand the vehicle I use and improve the relationship I have with it. mind and body Develop Synchronicity through strong communication during duress, like a healthy relationship should be. It brings new meaning to the adage "Know thyself".
What a great video. Well thought out and flows without stops. Unlike the incredibly annoying videos of today where the video is a series of stops and restarts (edits), this man goes through the entire video speaking naturally and intelligently. Very refreshing and professional. Hope to see more of your videos on any topic! Cheers
Thanks a lot! I’ve read his books and as a martial artist I’d say that this generation could hardly ever achieve what Bruce achieved.
The original "Skinny Strong", using functional strength.
He was shredded
He was strong ratio wise for such a lightweight body but he was not strong when you look at raw strength.
bruce wasn't skinny lmao he was ripped to fook lol massive difference pal
@@jason200912 the cool thing about the information presented in this video is, you could easily apply this to a person with more muscle mass
Outstanding video! I like your analysis of what Bruce Lee meant by Expressing himself. I always thought Bruce meant emotional integrity when he talked about this. But what you have said, im sure is also true. If a car has parts which dont function correctly, a driver can not get the most from it. In the same way if Bruce Lees body/mind/spirit is not in perfect order, and expression he wants to make will be limited by the weakest part.
Meant to say "any expression", not and expression lol.
+Video Master Thank you! And yes I think it can be interpretted both ways for sure :-)

Bruce lee is not die ! He is living everyones heart !!
If you're trying to train like Bruce Lee, this is the way to go. If you just care about his speed it honestly comes down to two things: 1- Strength training so you're muscles have the power to move at higher speeds (a 5x5 weight routine should be good for this) and 2- Neurological speed. This is the part that makes him so capable of striking quickly. Believe it or not you could get this kind of speed by going on the computer, installing a program such as Aimlab or similar aim trainers and working on your aiming speed in games. This will over time increase the speed your brain reacts and thinks and when your mind thinks faster, it thinks faster overall. Even though you're reacting faster to a video game, you'll find that you walk faster, when you drive at a certain speed, it'll seem slower than it used to etc. All that's left after that is doing some punching and kicking practice just so your body gets used to striking at those faster speeds.
Actually Goku was preety much following a standard program. Whenever he went to a higher gravity he would first do 5000 push ups and sit ups and than would do variations with weights.
Ovidiu Sampalean
Not with weights during namek, only calisthenics
The gravity was enough, he just did more advanced workouts
+GokuInfintysaiyan Actually he punched while holding weights and used them for squats as well.
Ovidiu Sampalean Manga page?
+GokuInfintysaiyan anime
+GokuInfintysaiyan Search Goku training for Namek. It is a 14:56 vid. You'll see him using weights at 2:43 and 6:08.
Daoist philosophy ,flexability,focus,relaxedness. Attributes in wing chun , using both hands and legs at the same time ,awakens the right and left hemisphere to work together. In normal life without learning these attributes ,one hemisphere of the brain works at a time. balance becomes harder to achieve and all other attributes are harder to master.
Utmost respect ropata, peace
I wanted to say thank you for making this video, it’s nice finding something positive to watch on the tv.
Bruce was a legend, if only he was still alive.. great video man.. this is awesome.. I wish someone would make a work out series dvds of nothing but bruce lee type training
Love the video, Bruce Lee is one of my biggest inspirations to keep on training and developing my body and keep doing martial arts. Thank you for a very in-depth video, subbed!
I was a fitness fanatic 10 years ago but had serious burnout. I never wanted to do a pushup or sqaut again but watching Bruce Lee makes me wanna get back to it. Arrrrrggggghhhhh
Be like water. Water takes the shape of its container. Make your workout take the shape of your time. Yes, please more Bruce videos! You have a new subscriber b/c of this video🖖👌✌️
great video
after starting isometrics a couple of years ago my power an speed has changed so quickly for a positive result.
After studying external martial arts for over 20 years I was fortunate to meet a really good martial artist who studied in China. He opened a new world to me and a number of others who followed in my footsteps and started studying the internal martial arts. I also learned a termed called "Fa Jing" look it up. I also learned how to improve my power by using body dynamics. To learn and improve one must be humble.
Will give this ago definitely. I highly recommend Bruce Lee s book ,"striking point " is something I have enjoyed n become more wiser with life! Great upload buddy!
Striking thoughts you mean?
i got back in the gym after 6 months off. im feeling more like bruce forsyth at the moment. good vid.
👍😂
Thank you for saying that deadlifts and squats are functional! They’re some of the best movements for building power
It's good to see some people understand how Bruce did the one inch punch. You can see him fire off his feet and transfer the energy all the way to his fist. It's not that difficult. Kicking is the same you gotta push off the ground with the opposite leg . That's where your power comes from.
I had a horrible accident and broke my back L1 through L5 . Bruce lee is truly an inspiration. Wish the man was here today :(
It took some time, but I've finally found this channel again. Great work with all of the detail you put into your videos. Keep it up!
This was an amazing video in summary of some of his work and principles which still hold to date. Bravo
Thanks a lot :-D
Adam Sinicki
He was a wonderful person. A true philosopher.Pound for pound, there was no one stronger. He was too dedicated to his training. He over trained. He trained too much. For an ultimate fight or battle that just never came.He never knew how to relax or give his body a rest. His friends even have said, as much. I guess the drugs didn't help him either.
I also heard you were a mongo, just a rumor you know...
lol I see you with that one punch man joke
john s Well it was Bruce Lee. That's what he was a master & that's what made him great. When his name is mentioned it's synonymous with greatness.
spack, j s he died of an allergic reaction to some medicine
Dessert Limbo Equalgesic.
Commenting six years later (& repeating what I've said on other videos), Lee's isometric program came straight from "Functional Isometric Contraction" written by Bob Hoffman of York Barbell in 1961. (The program was actually created by Dr. John Ziegler for Louis Reicke, a York Barbell lifter; it was one of three methods listed in the book.) Although they could be used for safety when benching or squatting, the power racks York was producing at the time (like the one Lee is using at 8:30) were meant mainly for isometrics. The device Lee is using at 8:41 is a homemade version of one that York produced, as well.
That was an excellent video. A lot of those exercises you spoke about I learned from the Arnold Schwarzenegger's lifting encyclopedia's. I never read anything from Bruce Lee. I will be looking into his exercise wisdom thanks to this video. Thank you and I just subscribed.
Thank you! I love Arnie's Modern Encyclopedia! Bruce has a lot of interesting ideas too. The best book for that one is 'The Art of Expressing the Human Body' :-)
Hello from Mississippi. I would love some more videos about Bruce Lee. I hope to start incorporating his philosophy into my workout. I am sure my workout may not be as intense,but I will keep up updated on my progress.Great video please keep up the good work.
Awesome video! So many arm chair MMA fighters today have no idea what their talking about when they trivialize how freaking strong Bruce Lee was.
Exactly and they think that he would lose to most mma fighters. Which isn’t true as he was street fighter too. He would have smashed them
I got theory for all the Dragon Ball fanboys.
In universe 6 Bruce Lee didn't die, he ended up becoming Hit.
Bam!
Osurac Rennet hate to break it to ya but goku as a lid faced bruce lee in dragon ball
King Fly i remeber that because goku needed money XD
Osurac Rennet Well. Always dragon ball remember me Bruce Lee... in fact the moment when goku died and gohan trained with piccolo, remember me the Brandon Lee sad situation, training with Dan Inosanto, after the Bruce death. And like this, another more situations.
YES, YES, AND YES. THATS IT . youve solved it.
@@kingfly1317 that was a fake bruce lee impersonator
Bruce Lee was the real life ultra instinct Goku
Oh for sure!
Nah
Goku was the cartoon version Bruce Lee
Chin chun
Ultra instinct was invented by Bruce Lee
No Ultra Instinct is to unrealistik.
Bruce Lee did this for years, that type of training take time and a high dicipline
I don’t even have enough time for this kinda stuff, IM 15!
@@meme_god5075 do not waste high test years, train consistently NOW and you will thank yourself later
Marianne You’re right, I always have time for video games lol
Damn, your so right, in order for me to be anything like Lee I would have to dedicate most my time to what he did, sadly I dont have the time
@Marianne becoming really good at video games definitely unlocks something! Hard to explain it but
eyyyyy don't regret following bl time table for one year,
that much of dedication had paid off really
I'm not training in any sense but your description was very interesting and the way you admire Bruce , this is the proper way to understand him and his training , THANK you !
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it! He wa a fascinating guy :-)
Great video! It gives one self a better understanding to Bruce's untouchable speed and power. His training methods and principles were unique.
+byagtrafdlo Well, I really don't know how to respond to that.... I guess Bruce was a bit eccentric.
Bruce Lee would have loved your channel bro
This is a really well done video that I learnt a lot from concerning Bruce Lee's training methods. One thing that concerned me is if someone was holding you hostage behind the camera lol. Blink twice if you are in danger
VillageHeroOfTime lmmfao
Bruce Lee was incredible. I'm gonna start training like him lol
@Koen 145 it went great, i'm definitely stronger now... you should subscribe to my channel I'm actually going to start doing workout vids and comps
@Koen 145 the workout vids aren’t out yet, i’ll start them soon

Rj Jake Did it make your waist wider? As in, your obliques bigger?
Rj Jake wow you really came back lmao
I think I can vouch for many people when I say I appreciate how much effort you put into your videos, this is actually the first video of yours I’ve seen but I can appreciate your effort and I really enjoyed this video.
Sir Bruce Lee knew, it is always about the momentum.
is it ironic that this most amazing physical specimen dies from an allergenic reaction.
They say he was at his side hoes house and she gave him a pill for his headache that she had before but they didn’t want him found with her so if they thought less about his image and acted faster he might’ve been okay but probably not
If only Epi pen had been around then.

Fantastic analysis. Thank you for your efforts!
Shoulders must be trained with care. I warm my shoulders for about 10 minutes with just rotating my arms in many directions. Barbell lifts are fine after this. Heavy bag work gives you good shoulders. A small waist helps a lot, too.
Benjamin Dumbrell could you tell me which muscles that you mainly need to work out for boxers?
Ben Salinas tha core, legs, shoulders. the core generates power and protection from body shots. the legs to keep footwork active for all rounds and generate power. the shoulders to keep hands up and keep throwing punches
Ben Salinas and don't forget the back.. the back is where a lot of your body gathers power from.. best fighters have insanely powerful backs.. I would recommend pull ups.. 10 sets of 15 every day no less or you may develop more bulk. Less reps equals more bulk more reps equals more conditioned muscles... become a conditioned fighter not explosive unless you want to wear out fast
Clear Combat Self Defense and Fighting System *Look up Jeff Cavalier... he'll show you how to get shoulder mobility in about 2m. I wont pretend like I understand, just go watch his PT vids
@@bensalinas8804 Quids and hamstrings. Glutes. Core. Back. Shoulders.
Quids and Hams can be worked with squats and deadlifts. Glutes with hip thrusts and glute bridges. There are great core exercises. Back with pull ups, rows and rack pulls. Shoulders with overhead press and delt raises.
I appreciate you sharing these techniques. I don’t have a gym membership right now and I’m not working right now so I have all this time at home.
Thank you
Great video, Bruce was also a student of Eugene Sandow. That is where he learned his ideas of much of his muscle experimentation.
this is a fantastic overall analyses of his training.
I’ve only just found your channel, and now I know why I like you. 🙏🏼 ☯️
I was so obsessed by Bruce back in the day, I trained at one of only two JKD places in the U.K. (with Sifu Dave Carnell), had over 25 Bruce Lee books and met Linda Lee Cadwell (+husband ‘Bruce’, lol), Shannon Lee and got them to sign their books. 🥰
Oh, and also met John Little (the only guy to have full access to Bruce’s entire library. (I bought his book and got him to sign it too. 😬)
Beuce Lee really was a revolutionary in applying new exercises to be shown in the world. Of course he isn’t the founder of such exercises but his research and influence helped to stem a different outlook in fitness and physical therapy for exercises
Amazing vid. You got yourself a new subscriber.
This is great information is Bruce Lee's training techniques. He truly did understand the mind body connection
His training routine is in his books
I've had ideas like most of these for a long time but I didn't even know where I got them or tried them, so imma try them now
Watched some more of your recent videos. You made alotta personal progress. Good job man
Great job! Can you do another vid focusing on overcoming isometrics???
first man to do it on camera, i would bet that many a shaolin/wu dang monk had been training similarly for millennia
Mr. Bruce Lee was not afraid of losing, there for he wan respect for him self.... Well done.
Great video dude
Thanks :-D
Best video on his training yet! I've read his books and researched myself. Great Job! But 11:14 Lee coined that "Dynamic Tension" Everything else in here is Fire! Yo what was the name of that small guy in the video who is one of the strongest pound for pound? Thanx
Thanks! And that would be Dennis Rogers I believe :-D
this was a great video! not only for the content but this being from 6 years ago i can see how far you've come along in presentation and confidence in front of the camera!
would love to see more bruce lee stuff yes please
how the hell did he have time to do all that
Bruce had the time. He was primarily part-time kung fu teacher, part-time TV actor. He got by. It looks like he would train about 2, to 2 and, an half hours a day. He ran every day. Lift weights every other day. Worked his abs every day. Practiced techniques, all the time. He'd have a morning workout. Then an afternoon run. Then he would have some kind of night training session. That's about 45 minutes each workout session. That's doable. if you're not working a regular job. If you have a regular job? 2 hours? No way. Maybe an hour tops... Per day. If you're serious. Bruce had the time and he used it well.
Gabriel Macaluso my understanding was that he trained 6 hours a day. 0.o
do it all day
We as humans have 70-100 years to live lol. Dont tell me u cant take 60mins -3 hrs of ur daily life to get into fitness
Gabriel Macaluso no internet,thats how he did it.
