Very clear and an interesting read\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"While Bruce was in Hong Kong filming in late 1971 or early 1972, he had his weight equipment\u003cbr\u003eand training gear shipped to him,\" says Ted Wong, who met Lee in 1967 and trained with him for\u003cbr\u003emore than six years. \"He wanted to stay in shape. So we packed his bags, but we did not send any\u003cbr\u003eclothes because he said he could buy them cheap in Hong Kong. We just packed training\u003cbr\u003eequipment. When he saw all the bags filled with training equipment, he laughed and said, ‘Now I’m\u003cbr\u003egoing to be able to do lots of training.’\"\u003cbr\u003eAnd train he did.\u003cbr\u003e\"Bruce considered training number one,\" says Wong. \"He was constantly training. When he\u003cbr\u003ewatched TV or went to the movies, he conditioned his knuckles. When he was driving, he worked\u003cbr\u003ethe hand grips. If he walked to a bookstore and came to a hill, he always ran. He never wasted\u003cbr\u003etime.\"\u003cbr\u003eWhy was this man so obsessed with training? Several reasons.\u003cbr\u003eFirst, according to Lee, training was important because you couldn’t perform up to your capabilities\u003cbr\u003eif you weren’t in shape, Wong recalls.\u003cbr\u003e\"Lee felt you had no business being in the martial arts if you weren’t in shape,\" says Wong. \"If you\u003cbr\u003eweren’t in shape you couldn’t be 100 percent efficient.\"\u003cbr\u003eSecond, he had lofty goals.\u003cbr\u003e\"He wanted to be the best,\" says Wong. \"He wanted to be the best martial artist.\"\u003cbr\u003eAnd no one could dispute that he was.\u003cbr\u003eLee’s Thoughts on Strength\u003cbr\u003eTo get in excellent shape, Lee felt you needed strength, Wong notes.\u003cbr\u003e\"He considered strength training very important,\" Wong says. \"He was constantly looking for ways\u003cbr\u003eto improve, including weight training and isometrics.\"\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Lee felt strength was important, he did not believe bodybuilding was the answer, Wong\u003cbr\u003esays.\u003cbr\u003e\"He felt it was important to have definition, but he did not feel you had to overboard,\" Wong says.\u003cbr\u003e\"He did not feel it was necessary to develop large muscles. On the other hand, strength and\u003cbr\u003edefinition enhanced certain functions, such as kicking and punching.\"\u003cbr\u003eAnd Lee’s conditioning entailed more than hand grips, sit-ups, weights, running and conditioning\u003cbr\u003edrills.\u003cbr\u003e\"A lot of the time he read books and analyzed different arts,\" Wong says. \"He had a keen eye and an\u003cbr\u003eanalytical mind. He did a lot of researching.\"\u003cbr\u003eWhile you may never develop Lee’s skills, you can certainly train the way the \"Little Dragon\" did.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing are a few of the exercises Lee used to develop power.\u003cbr\u003eLee’s Strength Routine\u003cbr\u003eBarbell Push\u003cbr\u003eThis exercise strengthens your arms, forearms, shoulders, biceps, lats, triceps, chest and abs.\u003cbr\u003e\"This exercise works almost your whole body,\" Wong says. \"It’s really good; it’s effective. But it is\u003cbr\u003ealso very difficult. Although Bruce lifted a lot of weight, most people can’t. I remember trying to\u003cbr\u003elift what he used, and I couldn’t even hold it.\"\u003cbr\u003eTo begin, stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Squat, grab the barbell with an\u003cbr\u003eunderhand grip and stand up. Keeping your elbows by your side, raise the weight straight out, hold\u003cbr\u003efor a second, return and repeat.\u003cbr\u003eDo three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. When you’re done, do three sets of 8 to 12 reps with an\u003cbr\u003eoverhand grip.\u003cbr\u003ePunching With a Dumbbell\u003cbr\u003eThis exercise improves your shoulder endurance, which is vital for sparring.","brand":"7th floor 2012","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146217111792,"sku":"2940015023039","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015023039_p0.jpg?v=1763618873","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015023039","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
