@@satyamsingh4653 you could just do your own research. Hypertrophy is to gain mass. Bruce Lee was focused on speed, agility and power not overall size. While he might have incorporated hypertrophy exercises into his routine, it was not his goal. He had lots of different cardio exercise such as jump rope and running. He did a lot of martial arts training such as punching and kicking. Occasionally, he would do some weight as well. But he had hard focused circuit workouts, which is not ideal for hypertrophy.

[@Schrodingers_kid]

Dude was training for speed and explosive power, which allowed him to do that kind of stuff Even now martial artists are training "fast", meaning fast reps and, preferably, a lot of them for endurance.

[@User-gs1dk]

Endurance and explosive power are two completely opposite adaptions. Trying to do lots of "fast" reps with weights for endurance just makes you slower (versus other training modalities). Why? Because even a "fast" squat rep is slow as hell compared to an actual explosive movement. On top of that the only way to do many reps is to significantly lower the weight. So you're both adapting your body for a slow endurance movement and using low weight which doesn't cause your body to adapt for higher force output. Literally the worst of both worlds. Lower rep heavy weight and then doing sports specific training for your actual explosive movements is how any sports program worth a damn (and Olympic Weightlifters, who are kings of high power high explosive output) train.

[@Schrodingers_kid]

@@User-gs1dk And still martial artists manage to use their power for extrended periods of time. Remember that there are different muscle fibers and you need to train them all, and you still can train them for endurance, even the ones responsible for fast, explosive movement. Not speaking of being able to progressively overload, allowing you to do fast reps even with heavier weights, which you can see some of the powerlifters do when they bench crazy amounts of weights for reps and do it fast. And my last sentence can be interpreted as training punches on a bag - you're doing a lot of reps of them and you're pushing yourself to punch fast and this exercise makes sense, because it's literally the punch you will be doing in a fight, with same technique and movement. And you can add weights to punches by using resistance bands or shadow box with weights in hands. I'm not speaking from my ass - I trained with a coach, in an actual martial arts gym, sparred with real people and I judge from my experience, which you might say is wrong and I would agree with you, because everyone's experiences are different.

[@DirtyStinky]

That is not how you train fast twitch AT ALL.

Happy is the man who gains wisdom. 👨‍🎓 When I studied TaeKwondo a long time ago, we were taught tiny people can punch harder than bigger guys cause of the speed that generates the power! This is why Bruce can punch like a heavy weight, yet move with agility like a light weight boxer - the best of both worlds..etc.. You have to practice like crazy to get that swiftness, then you have to make sure your whole body is well conditioned, so, your a lean mean fighting machine.

​​@@parabalaniSquatting, deadlifting, bench pressing, pull-ups, dips, and shoulder pressing works out pretty much every single muscle in the body. He thought that lifting heavy weight gives you thicker muscles so he would use lighter weight for speed and explosiveness. Come to find out it's the opposite thanks to science. Heavy weight training with single reps and rest days in between will make you not only bigger but even more explosive and athletic. This is the only way for natural lifters to get stronger for any sport, not lifting light weight for days on end. I won't go too hard on Bruce Lee because it was the 70's but the Russians knew about the secret to gaining strength very quickly before the Americans did. The Russians just wanted to capitalize by adding steroids into the mix so their athletes can recover faster from the extremely heavy compound movements.

The problem is that this is being commented and talked about by people who have nothing to do with boxing and have never received a serious blow in their life, nor do they know anything about boxing and hitting. And as for punching, only boxers know how to punch, everything else is bullshit. There are real killers, and you know what boxing is, this shit is a story for morons.

[@aguy9602]

He just pushed the guy. Sure, he was good at using his weight. I won't say that there is no power behind it but its just a glorified shove. Look at how the guy is standing. If you stood like that a shove would also push far enough that you'll lose your balance. Its not magic. Look at the first guy. He'd had probably been okay if the chair wasnt there. And if he fell it would have been because he reacted too late to react to the push. The second guy aimed to go to the chair imo. He's all dressed up and he fell on that chair extremely smoothly. Genuinely, push someone standing straight as a cucumber on the chest and see how they move back. They might fall, they might not. But if theres a chair blocking their way theyll fall on the chair lol.

[@DrHDoofenshmirtzphd]

It's not that he is flat on his feet. It's that he is in what is referred to in martial arts as a broken stance. There is nowhere to shift your weight when pushed from that position. If Bruce had been standing to the side and hitting his arm he would have just shifted his weight slightly more to the rear leg and not moved. This is more slight of hand than martial arts.

For anyone wondering, this guy has no clue what fast twitch muscle fibers are, you don't develop them by doing fast very light squats, you develop them by lifting alot heavier for fewer repetitions. Also fast twitch are the type of muscle fibers that actually cause you to bulk up.

[@eiffno.01]

I don't think you have to super max out on the heavy weights to develop the power and speed Bruce was trying develop. You just have to lift heavy enough weight that will challenge your body at maybe mid rep range between 20 -50 reps but with squats I would rep higher you compliment your ideal body weight. ( Ibw= weight that allows a person to be light on their feet, move at top speed, float with ease, jump high with ease at max output but still retain enough weight/ mass to be a force to be reckoned with vs. any other weight class). Bruce decided that at that time that 95lbs for continuous squat work on the high reps was good enough for him to power himself on up and retain his speed and reflexes at lightning fast without bilking up io much

[@mixa290192]

I totally agree with you. Some people just don’t get it. Fast twitch fibers put out a lot of force for a short period of time unlike slow twitch fibers that our bodies use for endurance. Fast movement has very little to do with training fast or slow twitch fibers but it has more to do with training central nervous system(cns) to recruit those fibers for movement. Look at how jacked 100m sprinters are. That’s a lot of force in a short period of time(fast twitch-power). And then you start looking at marathon runners(slow twitch-endurance). All of the above lift weights to condition their CNS to run fast and hard for a short period of time(sprinters) or to run slower but longer(long distance runners) Whatever Bruce Lee made out of his life is impressive but there are far more impressive and genetically gifted people than he was. That one inch punch is just a myth. This dude talking about fast twitch muscle development through fast light squats is a delusion

[@sirnoname6943]

Slow twitch are the ones that bulk you up genius

[@ouibscfdadade1245]

​@@mixa290192 Again even that is a mis conception, not every 100m sprinter is bulked , and too heavy weight will train your fast Twitch muscle fibres as they are thé one who produce more force , but the Time to exécuté thé mouvement will be so slow that it wont transfer well to thé effective mouvement of sprinting. You need both but lifting lighr weight fast is WHAT will truly improve your muscle contraction speed ,

[@matreyia]

the 1 inch punch does not result from muscular exercise. It results from putting your center of gravity over your supporting heel, then using that heel anchor from the ground to pump/send up the earth through the supporting leg, up the spine, through the shoulder and out the arm into the person. Basically you are connecting the opponent with the earth grounding point at the supporting anchored heel. So your body itself feels almost no tension and you get a sensation that the person, your fist and your heal instantly connect with no middle bodily interference. If you watch carefully, you will see the pump from the front supporting/anchored heel traveling up and through his body and arm into the opponent. This is not a "punch" per say, but rather only a transfer of of the earth through his body into the opponent.
