Bruce Lee's 2 finger push ups?

Now I know alot of you knows about this feat that Bruce Lee used to perform. Now I know that anybody can be able to do great physical stuff by training hard..but I mean there is gotta something more to that than just training. Personaly i can do around 8 push ups on my thumbs..but when i look at what bruce lee did it makes me feel like what im doin is trash.


Briefly i masking if there really is more to just training that made bruce lee able to do this..such as meditation or wing chun forms like sim tau (something like that) or chi quon ( i know its misspelled) thank you.

Bruce Lee's 2 finger push ups?
I always thought Lee's success came from a combination of near fanatical physical training and his philosophy of adding "emotional content" (his words to his student in Enter The Dragon) to his skills. Practicing forms, shadow boxing, sparring, etc. with a mental stress - as if your life depended the outcome, teaches the body to release adrenalin and taps into the body's natural fight or flight defense system. If pure training were the answer, all the tournaments would be won by the most developed bodies. The spirit and the will to live, drives you long after the body thinks its out of gas!
Reply:bruce lee's strength to weight ratio is insane. So ya, good luck not hurting your fingers.
Reply:very doubtful that there was more to it than purely physical training; and Bruce was a very big physical advocate as well as a spiritual advocate.





you have to remember that Bruce trained intensely both at his Martial Arts and his physical fitness.





I know that in Chin Na, several of the masters highly recommmend doing pushups all the way up to doing one and two finger pushups.





So really it's just building the strength up in your hands and then the fingers.
Reply:I am not a martial artist...but I do lift weights..





Bruce lee was a Renaissance man..combining the best of both worlds at the time..





Bruce lee basically strength trained...his one downfall was trying to overdo the weights in area like the lower back...he did what is called a "good morning" with too heavy a weight and blew out a few disk...


hence he had a bad back for the rest of his short lived life..





I would suggest if you wish to increase your strength..google strength training articles and then hit the gym...
Reply:Train as though you'll die today.
Reply:Training for tricks is not what he was trying to achive.








Just train for yourself.
