Bruce lee workouts to build electric speed and brute strenght!


Bruce optimizes a perfect balance of electric speed, brute strength and explosive power. This combination of physical traits along with his in-depth understanding of martial arts made him a lethal fighter.

While we may not be concerned with his study of martial arts we are most certainly interested in understanding how a man weighting a mere 145lbs could barbell curl 80lbs, routinely do 2 finger push-ups and also floor a man with his infamous two inch punch.

Let’s take a look at three physical traits of the man Bruce Lee. These being Speed and Strength.

Bruce Lee's Speed

While much of Bruce’s speed while genetically predisposed to him he also honed it in many different ways through his training.

Also, he always held a tremendously low body fat which only augments the speed at which he could move his hands and feet.

A higher level of body fat would only act as a dead weight as an abundance of fat on the body serves no purpose. This would simply only suppress the speed at which he could move his body.

Bruce Lee's Strength

Bruce Lee had tremendous relative strength. He could perform physical feats which would be more closely related to a man twice his weight. This strength contributed to his speed as he was able to exert more force from his limbs which resulted in him being able to move much faster.

While you may not be able to beat or rival Bruce Lee’s speed and strength you can certainly improve. The aim really is to get your body fat as low as possible and get as strong and as fast as possible in the mean time. You can do this by following the workout and Cardio routine outlined below.
