Bruce Lee's Injury and His Writing by Dan Inosanto 

Agreed, he is a remarkable man, a real pleasure and honour to meet, even better to train with too.

I it true

I don't know Dan at all, but he seems like a good man to me. But I think Dan would appreciate it more if you want to get to know him better. Rather than asking him questions about somebody else.

Yet he's happy to talk about his teacher . Bruce Lee helped him in his career .

@jay still jacked up I need to go see someone thanks for being concern... When I tell people my story they don't get it I usually push myself to the limit not knowing I'm doing actual harm to myself

@@ericlester5033 no one gets it til it happens to them. I had to get a back surgery at 23 from a disc herniation. My nerves were totally crushed.. people say “well you probably just did it wrong” so I avoid telling people, and avoid knuckleheads.

That’s a pretty insane story lol. Wonder where that ex is now

Tom Bleeker is now on RU-vid sharing his anecdotes with Bruce

@@johnlee5423 Yeah, I really need to check out those videos. The show Autopsy did a fascinating episode where a forensic specialist examined all the various cause-of-death theories, and smack me with a nunchuck if Bleeker's cortisone theory (the ONLY one I'd heard over the years) was the one that hands-down made the most sense medically.

Tom Bleeker was quoting Bruce's MD's medical report.Bruce himself told the doctor he sprained his back during sex.....dumbass

@@randalwung8715 Nope.He was low key murdered by Triads.Bruce's private life wasn't anything close to what his fans know about him.Bruce was a serious cash cow for them.But when he decided to move back to the US to make american movies they knew he would blow their movie buisness out of the water so they stood to gain much more by killing him then risking losing their buisnesses.

According to Bruce's medical records, from what he told his doctor (in Bruce's own words) was that he injured his back during sexual intercourse. Could he have lied to his doctor to present a macho image, sure. Regardless, this is what is in black and white in Bruce's medical records.

Bruce's cocaine abuse may have contributed to his death

Extreme humidity in China plus working out plus the chemicals...

His strength is irrelevant. Warming up couldn't have prevented this. This exercise puts too much pressure on the lower back. The weight very far from the low back and he is bending over. Recipe for disaster. I wouldn't do any weight with that exercise. Especially when he stretches his back so much and does frequent leg raises and sit ups. Those can also put some pressure on the low back. I've injured my back from doing too many with my regular workouts.

Of course he did , straining the back during certain exercises like good morning or deadlifts are typical. Very common . Ironically the exact same exercises are used too rehab the very same injury it's just the weight is lighter. What a weird notion ! He couldn't have injured lifting because he was strong ??? Really are you that naive ? Strong men like myself live with pain and injury because of lifting weights That are too heavy. Especially people obsessed with training like Bruce lee who was historically using opium too train. He was an opioid addict. The sex story sounds like a cover up

Deadlifts and good mornings are very safe for the lower back when done with correct form. You also don't need to do warmup exercises unless you're lifting very heavy weight. Bruce Lee wasn't very strong so it's definitely not because he didn't do warmup exercises. You don't magically break your spine just because you don't warm up. That'd mean that in real life you can never lift anything heavy like a rock or pick up a person unless you lift a bunch of lighter things first. He injured his back most likely because he was overtraining, using very incorrect form and weight that was too heavy (which helped to cause incorrect form) so he crushed his disc. Injury like this from exercises like deadlifts or even good mornings is actually very rare. I lift weights and I do warm up but I start with fairly heavy weight such as Deadlift 140kg 5 reps 170kg 5reps Then go into working sets of 200kg Or bench press 100kg 5 reps Then go into working sets of 120kg Or overhead press 60kg 5 sets 70kg 5 sets Then go into working sets of 80kg So the warmup is not that much and is not that far away from the main weight I lift either. If I had to do my 200kg sets in deadlift without the warmup I could do it and I don't expect I'd get injured. The warmups help to 1. Identify any injuries you're unaware of. It might suddenly hurt when you lift on a warmup set so then you know you're injured and not to lift weights today. If you suddenly lift your max and you're injured but didn't realise it, it could be bad. 2. Prime the muscles and nervous system. It tells them you're about to lift a heavy weight so they get ready and you're stronger and can do more reps easily on the next sets Warmups don't magically make the difference between getting injured or not getting injured though. If it's wsm deadlifting 500kg then it might be a different matter. Warmups might be more essential. For the weight Bruce Lee was lifting he didn't need warmups he just needed proper form and to reduce the weight. Also he needed more rest days. He was overtraining and straining his body, preventing it from healing and preventing himself from being able to do proper form because his body was too exhausted. That's why he made a stupid mistake and crushed his disc with weights. If we could see exactly what he did I'm sure we'd see something ridiculous that every normal person would know not to do. Like he had his head touching his knees, or the barbell balanced on his lower spine or something as ridiculous as that. At least we'd see something like a good morning with absurd form where be bends his spine beyond anything normal or healthy then collapses under the weight.

@@WokeVeganLiberal if u researched Bruce correct then u would know he was one of the most strongest people so he must have done it wrong and did not train like regular people.

🤣🤣🤣😂

I remember hearing in a documentary about him that his back injury did plague him for the rest of his life so I can definitely see this being a factor

@@maexpert11 I had written “morphine “ by mistake. What i meant back then was “Cortisone injections” Bruce would inject cortisone to relieve the pain and inflammation in his sacral injury. The problem is that he was abusing cortisone because he constantly needed it after shooting movie scenes and putting his body under stress. The aspirin he took had a negative effect on him because he had so much cortisone in his system. Which is what causedvthe cerebral edema.

@@chrissea77 Are you stupid? The question was How did he injure his back. All he says is how he recovered nothing about how he injured his back.

@@markuscamenzind5510 did you watched the whole video? Guro Dan explains @ 1:34.

@@LuisHernandez-hw7dj That was his answer to the morning exercise. Am i the only one that sees the bad editing here?

Nobody know That injury was 1969 or 72

Bruce lee injured his back in a fight

Mustang Sally that was from the movie for cinematic purposes, his back got injured with the "good morning exercise" with a barbell.

What!?

First Name Last Name Cinematic... Purposes.

+Mustang Sally Correct.
