This video explains the awesome, unique training techniques of Bruce Lee in detail. This is how he developed his explosive power and speed, as well as his incredibly low bodyfat and amazing endurance.
Bruce Lee trained using a combination of compound and isolation lifts, as well as lots of running for cardio and bag work for HIIT. He trained a huge amount and was always experimenting and finding new ways to increase his strength, speed and power.
What was really interesting though was the way he worked his fast twitch muscle fibers and mind-muscle connection. He was ahead of his time as something of a biohacker and used techniques like overcoming isometrics, speed training and iso-contraction. All of which we shall be discussing in this video!

Don’t pray for a easy life, pray for the strength to endure a hard one -Bruce Lee

[@Xandrellv2]

true words

[@nickkerinklio8239]

Was Bruce Lee a praying man? I hope so, I would love to meet him in Heaven

[@RyoMassaki]

@@nickkerinklio8239 He was raised by a catholic mother and a buddhist father, but he wasn't following any religion and when asked if he believed in God he said no. "Lee felt that anything which substituted the ways or beliefs of others in the place of teaching you how to cultivate your own was a step in the wrong direction. For this reason, Lee was opposed to the doctrines-or rather the dogmas-of organized religion." He was however not an materialistic/reductionistic atheists as he was inspired by a wide-range of religions and philosophies, from Taoism to Protestantism.

[@user-vk5ws3jl1l]

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.

@@jasonvoorhees1316 He would destroy him easily but there should be absolutely no shame in that for Bruce Lee. One’s an actor, and the other is a professional fighter. Kids and video game players don’t understand the difference. Fanatical weirdos get overly attached to their fandoms and they can’t handle those of us who look at Bruce Lee as just a human being. 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. For example: It’s not like Bruce set out to create the UFC but Dana White pointed out that without Bruce Lee the UFC probably wouldn’t ever have been conceived. The truth is we know very little about what Bruce Lee did. Let me ask: Why does it matter? Do you really believe you can copy his moves and become the next Bruce Lee? Are you idiots truly that stupid, insecure and desperate?

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. It details Bruce Lee's training philosophy and shows the unbelievable dedication and commitment he had.

@Marianne becoming really good at video games definitely unlocks something! Hard to explain it but

[@Nimonjeua-Ndiangang]

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.

[@DizGaAlcam]

Truly the GOAT, I don't think we will see such a skilled and complete fighter again, such a shame the public only knows him as an actor and so many doubt his capabilities.

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

[@DylanFowler]

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.

[@DylanFowler]

@@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.

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.

[@videomaster8580]

Meant to say "any expression", not and expression lol.

[@AdamSinicki]

+Video Master Thank you! And yes I think it can be interpretted both ways for sure :-)

This stuff is аbsolutеly amazing! I used this right аfter I graduаtеd high school until the еnd of mу freshmаn yеar and gainеd аbout 30 pоunds of leаn muscle. I went from 145 at the end of high schoоl to 177 byyyу thе end of my first уear in college. This stuff is nothing short of amazing. I'd recommend twitter.com/abc134a97ebbaec4f/status/742668391975096320 to anуonе looking to bulk up fairly quiсk! Bruce Lеe s Training Workouts

[@jeslerlandey8814]

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

[@bandhsilvers1]

Great video buddy been looking for this info for years your broke it down brilliantly

[@eddiearmenta5248]

Incredible and outstanding brother! Thanks very much for sharing truly. This is one of the best instructional videos on exercise and cardiovascular exercise included. God bless you and peace.

[@bigdog3368]

[@JamesSmith-vk2ky]

👍😂

[@1jzsuprapwr]

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!

[@carterhaugenmusic]

Striking thoughts you mean?

[@averyjoycelynbarakudablock4139]

Thank you for thrse marvelously detailed descriptions-- all of these possibilities are like an endless garden. Among all of his skills, I find Lee"s intuitive prowess especially remarkable. This was I think a key driver of his mind- blowing inventiveness. Thank you again.... so inspiring (and daunting!). 🐎

[@olesoulsniping6180]

Dude just have to say I’ve been watching you more years now and we’ll..simply put you’re absolutely amazing my guy keep it up 👍

[@jerrylangebek5682]

Great video! It gives one self a better understanding to Bruce's untouchable speed and power. His training methods and principles were unique.

[@jerrylangebek5682]

+byagtrafdlo Well, I really don't know how to respond to that.... I guess Bruce was a bit eccentric.

[@thesavagecabageofmayhem1812]

I'm a big fan of the blogs and KZbin series, your an amazing content creator and I recon your channel will take off

[@AdamSinicki]

Thank you :-D That means a lot! Here's hoping :-)

[@Crohan_31]

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.

[@donniecain4266]

Very informative!!! He said you FEEL the technique and what you have said is right on target with that!! Thanks so much!!!

[@Spladoinkal]

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.

[@divedeepinside-JK]

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 !

[@TheBioneer]

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it! He wa a fascinating guy :-)

[@cjcansler1]

love the video i hope you continue, it was very informative, by the way nice demo of doing the dragon it is hard.

[@brucebruno842]

I wrestled for over 7 years and the best forearm work out I've found was "The water bottle exercise". You fill up a 2-liter bottle full of water. Get a stick about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, cut it a little longer than shoulder the width of your shoulders, and drill a hole in the center of the stick. Take a piece of string about as thick as yarn and tie it around the bottle cap. Cut the string and feed it through the hole in the stick and tie it tightly to itself. When you are done you want to be able to grab the stick with both hands holding them at shoulder width and height. You want the bottle to be about 6 inches off of the ground. While holding the stick, with your arms straight out and the water bottle off of the ground, you want to roll the water bottle up to the top of the stick hand by hand, and then SLOWLY, without letting it slip, roll it back down. Then you can repeat and see how many times you can do this. It is important to roll the stick forward and unroll it backward then roll it up backward and unroll it forward. You can move to a 3-liter and even weights eventually. This has given me a ridiculous grip and has strengthened my forearms a lot. In high school, we had to do a pullup with our palms facing away from us, and ass soon as our chin would get above the bar we would have to hold there for as long as possible. I hung for 2 and 1/2 periods/classes, and the only reason I stopped was that I had a test to take in the class coming up. I don't know how long I could have gone. I know I wasn't close to being worn out. It definitely helped me in wrestling where grip and forearms are important. I know they use this technique to train for firing firearms also.

Bruce Bruno most retarted shit ever

[@themanwithnoname9894]

Thank you for posting this.

[@TheBioneer]

Thanks for watching :-D

[@sasankakasun]

Bruce lee is not die ! He is living everyones heart !!

[@darkzen134]

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".

[@Slumpthemenace]

Great video just wanna let you know this video is still helping people in 2020 Man keep it up forreal💯🔥

[@sladekf6640]

Amazing vid. You got yourself a new subscriber.

[@SprayIgniteBoom]

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🖖👌✌️

[@burningflag3679]

Because this was coming from you knew i'd find some solid information, thanks.

[@Jameskeith1972]

Awesome! Great video. I use a bundle of bamboo and twist it as if I’m applying a joint lock. I imagine that I’m trying to break it. This is that resistance training that fakes the mind out, and still trains those fast twitch muscles. It’s part of the “Dragon palm” skill from the 72 Shaolin Arts manual that Bruce Lee talks about. Again..thanks! It’s always great to hear someone else’s perspective on an seemingly old topic.

[@cungaroo5746]

Great job! Can you do another vid focusing on overcoming isometrics???

[@5353iceman]

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.

[@TheBioneer]

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' :-)

[@timjmillea3257]

Great video. Really detailed and interesting breakdown of training techniques.

[@rishipathak3194]

Really good video. Very detailed taking in mind the time he was alive. Well done

[@BrotherhoodWilliams]

Overcoming Isometrics part made me howl thank you 😎👏👏👏

[@Rjjake]

Bruce Lee was incredible. I'm gonna start training like him lol

[@Rjjake]

@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

[@Rjjake]

@Koen 145 the workout vids aren’t out yet, i’ll start them soon

[@Rjjake]

@Koen 145 hidden lifting skills 😂😂😂😂😂

[@femalesupremacistoverlord6800]

Rj Jake Did it make your waist wider? As in, your obliques bigger?

[@NECROMANCER20]

Rj Jake wow you really came back lmao

[@Cragadom]

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. 😬)

[@dylanyelutas4237]

Love your explanation and the video man, it’s awesome!

[@dimitris_kon]

you are the best adam pls do more of bruce lee videos!

[@AdamSinicki]

Proud Gamer Thank you :-D Will do!

[@3thingsfit]

Great video, Bruce was also a student of Eugene Sandow. That is where he learned his ideas of much of his muscle experimentation.

[@sicilienz]

he had a book of eugen sandow, as many other fitness books, saying he was a "student" of Eugen Sandow sounds like an exageration

[@Mackcloudproductions]

This was very informative and I learned quick a good amount from this video. Job well done keep doing what you’re doing

[@1979nige]

I've studied alot of Bruce Lee training methods and this is a great overview video of it all awesome video thanks for making it

[@timothyholmes9086]

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.

[@ABigBoysGame]

he is a legend

[@WizeChoice]

Amazing video, great job and thank you.

[@solmma]

Thank you for te vídeo! Contracting the entire body is a way of protecting oneself from whatever comes.
