A few days ago, I wrote an article which commemorated Bruce Lee, I will write another article today. Nowadays, what Bruce Lee left is only a memory to most people, according to one’s own super Kung Fu, Bruce Lee becomes the first eastern superstar who enters Hollywood. Everybody would be excited who saw Bruce Lee’s movie or who witnesses Bruce Lee Kung Fu; everybody would be subdued by his super strength and speed; everybody greatly admire his unique charm. Bruce Lee is the most remarkable Kung Fu fighter in the 20th century. His super strong force is infecting hundreds of millions of idolater in the whole world, and continue infect the new idolater and Kung Fu fans, even professional boxer, N B A stars and body building stars all avow that their worship and respect for superman’s diathesis of Bruce Lee.
The strength quality of Bruce Lee is preeminent, the father of the American tae kwon do Jhoon Rhee once fought hand to hand with Bruce Lee, and is conquered by the strength, speed and skill of Bruce Lee. He said: “Bruce Lee is really talented personages, I have never seen so strong a person, he can do the push-up with a forefinger of one hand.” The advocate of U.S.A. free combat Joe Lewis used to be given instructions by Bruce Lee. Joe Lewis recalls: “Bruce Lee possesses unbelievable strength according to his weight, he can take 32 kilograms of dumbbell with one hand and level stretch arm and resting “lock” 20 seconds! It is inconceivable for a person 62 kilograms weight, even a person 90 kilograms weight may not make it.” Bruce Lee has a lot of “unique technique”, such as he can insert the finger into a pot unbroken Coca-Cola easily or break a sand bag of 45 kilograms with the side kick. U.S.A. authoritative magazine “Black Band” once report: Bruce Lee once Kick one 200 pounds man who wear safeguard armor with “skip step side kick”, the man fly 22.875 meters in the sky and falls into the swimming pool. The top-level fighters of the same period with Bruce Lee have one sense of fear when they mention Bruce Lee. They said:” The speed of Bruce Lee is unusually fast, and he can perceive opponent’s intention in advance, Bruce Lee can hit the opponent even if hit out at the same time. Another apprentice Doug Palmer highly appraise Bruce Lee: “Bruce Lee dominate in own field just look like Michael Jordan and Mohammed, not others are no good, but he is really too excellent.
I have collected some Bruce Lee’s records, every record is very surprising:
1. Hit out the heavy fist of 350 pounds with his weight of 130 pounds.
2. Hit out the strength of 1600 pounds with nunchakus.
3. Once Kick one 200 pounds man who wear safeguard armor with “skip step side kick”, the man fly 22.875 meters in the sky and falls into the swimming pool.
4. Take 32 kilograms of dumbbell with one hand and level stretch arm and resting “lock” 20 seconds.
5. Insert the finger into a pot unbroken Coca-Cola easily.
6. Break a sand bag of 45 kilograms with the “side kick”.
7. Kick the sand bag of 135 kilograms to the height of one storey.
8. He can punch 7 times during one second, can kick and break 3 inches of board in the sky.
9. Fight hand to hand 300 times with rivals in all his life and never be defeated, knock down rival in 5 seconds the most quick once.
10. Set up Jeet Kuen Do.

“Hit out the heavy fist of 350 pounds” must be inaccurate since the average boxer can deliver 600-700 pounds of pressure in a punch and a gung fu man can deliver about the same if not more. Of your entire list, which is quite descent, you forget that sometime in the 60’s Bruce demonstrated in Hong Kong at an exhibition the use of ONE single arm to curl 80 pounds for 8 repetitions. Also that he could at the late stage of his life curl between 100-115 pounds in a single arm, and this was documented in photograph at BlackBelt magazine office. Body builders cannot do that at all, and pro weight lifter would struggle for that if they even could. That figure is near superhuman with the exclusion of his body weight at the time as 124 pounds. He also can lift his waist 6 feet in the air by leaping, and this is heavily on parr with Olympic athletes using drugs. Furthermore, you forget his 2 finger push ups (perhaps because that one is common knowledge), his ability to do approximately 50 ONE ARMED pull ups, and his average warm up would include bench pressing 225 pounds (two plates) for 8 reps. Bruce was no actor, he was just good at it. I don’t know any actors that can do ten percent of that stuff, as there are barely any athletes on this level.

That is normal, I am not surprised. Since always, the ectomorphs have more fibers of type II that the body-builder. An ectomorph can be very powerful and very fast without being massive.Look at my vidéos on youtube ‘ ‘ giantguy666′ ‘.
How I wish Master Lee was still here to teach us more of what he knew. There are soo many fonnies today, he was a true master.
We will never forgot him.
Ectomorphs have more type II?
Ectomorphs have more type I if anything
like long distance runners
Endomorphs have more type II like strongmen
competitors.
Mesomorphs have many type II also but
don’t have to worry about fat gain like
Endomorphs and all types can be Bodybuilders.

Strength comes from many things
Shorter tendons is a major one

@John I do not want to contradict you but the muscular training of Bruce Lee was no training in endurance but in force (reps 6-8) and I do not think that Bruce Lee was endomorph nor mesomorph but well ectomorph.
@John Its highest reps were 12 but only for the legs but 12 reps for legs it is really little.
