Unbelievable Strength
Lee's feats of strength are the stuff of legend; from performing
push-ups - on one hand! - or thumbs only pushups, to supporting a
125-pound barbell at arms length in front of him (with elbows
locked) for several seconds, or sending individuals (who outweighed
him by as much as 100 pounds in some instances) flying through the
air and landing some 15 feet away as a result of a punch that Lee
delivered from only one-inch away, the power that Bruce Lee could
generate -- at a mere bodyweight of 135 pounds -- is absolutely
frightening. Not to mention some of his other nifty little habits
like thrusting his fingers through full cans of Coca-Cola and
sending 300 pound heavy bags slapping against the ceiling with a
simple side kick.
Strength training -- qua strength training -- was Lee's primary
objective with resistance exercise. Later, as we shall soon see,
his training evolved into more specialized applications that were
beneficial to his specific goals as a martial artist. But before we
get to there, let's first take a look at how Lee was first drawn to
bodybuilding
