@@samirdaryf934yes just don't go overboard and consult which ones to use with your therapist, for example leg extension isometric help with knee tendon pain
@@samirdaryf934yeah bro i had tendon issues before and isometrics zapped them away. it’s basically a step down from isotonics which is your regular up n down motion of weightlifting
Lotta ppl don't realize this man was sitting around reading books on this in his leisure time. Bruce Lee definitely knew more about bodybuilding and weightlifting than your average gym bro.
@@MartialWeapon back then, there was a real limit to what one could learn. you could read everything in your library, then go to the good library, then perhaps the The Big One in downtown of Big Name City like san fran. one would have to visit a true Big City newstand , and inquire with medical professionals about journals... versus post-internet, where information overload is a serious problem. i'd picture a 2020s Bruce Lee finding good websites and such, yet similtaneously, the last thing he'd want would be yet another website.
There’s a video of a guy that had no weights or equipment to train. So he used tree limbs to train by trying with all his might to break the limbs and he became extremely strong
Watch my full video breaking down everything you need to know about Bruce Lee's old school training by taping the title right next to the ▶️ on the video screen!
There's always gonna be pitiful Bruce Lee haters. Real martial artist and even world champion fighters respect him, so haters are just like broken calculators, their shit doesn't count.
You can respect him without inflating fantasies about who he actually was and what he actually did. In fact if you want to respect him, you ought to be honest about what makes him great and not have to pad his resume with utter bologna
just look at mighty mouse and u should know what bruce lee couldve become, people are just jealous a 120-160pounder is the best martial artist to grace this planet.
Bruce Lee used more strength and super fast action to hit any opponent to subdue them!!! So lots of exercises he did to increase muscles strength, stamina and speed!!! That really shows in his punches and body movements.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
He also used Dynamic Tension. It's like lifting weights with no weights. Your muscles flex while you move. Tiger training..it's what makes a tiger so strong and ripped
Even Ali said he punched like a heavyweight... Arguing with people with no brains is useless cuz they've convinced themselves that they know the truth cuz that's what sheeple do! Ask the .01% how easy it is to get everyone to believe a load of bullshit...
I do something similar with sticks and pvc pipes when I am not able to use weights. When you squeeze really hard while moving the stick around really slow and then really fast it does the same thing that overcoming isometrics does. You can also do it by simply clenching you hands into fists and squeezing really hard, keeping the muscles contracted while you move your arms through the air and it will do this. I've done this before as well.
This is what Nautilus circuit training does. The machines are different than weight lifting training where the pushing is one dimensional. Nautilus machines have resistance pushing and holding the weight as it returns to starting position. You get isometric training this way. I found it increased my stamina using one round of 12 to 15 machines, as different machines isolates each muscle group.
I would prefer pulling on strong bands because the peak contraction os the same but as you tire out the band still offers gradual resistance instead of the chain
That's true, pulling or pushing against dead weight fixed into the ground, when you apply that to people - they just crumble. Our scrum machine was on a concrete pillar, every team we played, we just broke their forward pack. I hoestly struggled to get home after training.
This is very common among fitness folks today but Bruce for sure pioneered this exercise as he was a leader when it came to advancing physical fitness. You can increase your bench press by putting an impossible to lift amount of weight on the bar and pushing against it. I used this technique and it does in fact work. Never thought about it for other muscle groups. Good stuff.
I almost reaps by tendon doing this thing. Don't do this guys. When you apply your max power without any movement, it could reaps your connective tissue.
@@yoeyyoey8937 But it doesn't target it as much as isometrics. This is why a lot of athletes get torn ligaments especially in the knee, it's not because they don't lift weights and other regular exercises.
@@adim00lah they target the tendons more because you are putting them under tension over a longer ROM with a stretch as well. Isometrics are limited in this regard. Athletes hurt themselves because they don’t train properly. Look at how most pro or Olympic athletes train and you’ll see that most of them don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to strength training so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they are not preventing injury optimally.
@@yoeyyoey8937 "most resistance training is correlated to increasing tendon and connective tissue health. However, to increase tendon strength, there needs to be an individualistic approach to what type of exercises are dedicated to increase strength- not just muscle. To build tendon strength, eccentric overload, isometric, and plyometric training are three effective ways to program your workouts." A certified strength and conditioning specialists said this. Now I want to ask you, where did you get your training and certification?
@@adim00lahno, athletes get torn ligaments because they are actively putting extreme stress on their bodies while competing. Weight training reduces this but the human body can only take so much and different bodies going under different stresses and habits through their lifetimes have different thresholds of what they can take.
Bro i did this and the chain broke(it was an iron or steel chain idfk) and i hit myself in the chin(luckily i managed to move my head quickly or else it'd prob hit my front teeth or nose)
Besides martial arts, boxing & isometric exercises bruce Lee also do calisthenics that's help him strengthen his body. He waa ahead of any martial artist of his time
It is actually the science of force vector. The chains transfer force from one link to another,allowing you to gradually apply your force,instead of attempting to apply all your force, which would only shut down your motor system
You started right, but you made wrong conclusion, it doesn’t tain fast twitch, it trains your tendons making your body a lot stronger without visible increase in muscle volume. But the strength you get is slow - you’re getting hard frame, good at pulling/pushing things, bending, but not at fast dynamic movements. You have to train fast movements additionally, like he did, to develop fast twitch.
A timed static contraction can recruit fast and slow fibres depending on the applied duration and intensity of the exercise. The idea of "training your body to be more powerful in certain positions" is false. Muscles don't work like that.
you pull chains cause the chains pull back. be the chain, the part of the chain that is pulled be pulled back and the chain pulls you in cause power chain makes a power for the chain as you pulling the chain -what bruce lee would've said
Bruce Lee wanted to curl his bodyweight that's why calisthenics is so good to do it doesn't matter how many push-ups you do you won't push the earth down or how many pull-ups you do you won't break the bars just think about it being able to curl your bodyweight that would be super human strength if you weigh 180 pounds curl that weight for a few reps you would have crazy arms size
Bruce Lee was a good actor raised in Seattle who spoke with a fake Chinese accent. This accent accompanied by his intense stare and his deep conviction made his words and philosophies more powerful. The media helped him become a larger than life sensation by staging events such as the deadly one finger punch, him playing ping pong using a nunchuk, etc. His movies were one of a kind. His martial arts talents are debatable
