Bruce Lee was famous for his muscle-building exercises that maximized his strength. Bruce Lee even thought about using electricity to train his muscles.
According to the book “Bruce Lee: A Life,” Lee once suffered from muscle strain due to his rigorous training regimen. A friend of Lee’s, karate fighter Mike Stone, suggested using an electrical muscle stimulator (EMS) machine to treat it. Stone had heard about American football players using the machine and said, “It’s a treatment that involves giving mild electric shocks .”
This convinced Bruce Lee. He even believed that the method could improve his skills and abilities. Stone revealed that Bruce Lee used the machine at its highest level, at level 7 or 8, enough to make his “ hair stand on end .”
Bruce Lee always focused on training to have a strong body.
Bruce Lee continued to use the electrostimulation machine for the rest of his life. However, his training methods terrified his friends. His co-star, Hong Kong’s “King of Bodybuilding,” Yang Sze-hsi, was so scared that he screamed.
Yang Si recalled catching Bruce Lee using an electric stimulator: “He was wearing a headband with a bunch of wires attached to it .” Yang Si, who played the villain in Enter the Dragon, yelled at Bruce Lee: “Are you crazy?”
Meanwhile, Hong Kong martial arts actor Yuen Wah, who acted as Bruce Lee's stunt double in "Fist of Fury" (1972) and "Enter the Dragon" (1973), was also horrified by the exercises of the creator of "Jeet Kune Do".
Nguyen Hoa once said: "Sometimes when Bruce Lee used electricity, he was very crazy, actively electrocuting himself. Bruce Lee fought with electricity, but we couldn't do that. I don't know how many volts of electricity he used, but he really practiced with electricity."
"Christmas tree" on Bruce Lee's back
In addition, Bruce Lee also worked hard in the gym, jogging, lifting weights while watching TV, cycling... Thanks to that, during the peak of his acting career, including when he filmed "Enter the Dragon 1973", Bruce Lee was said to weigh about 145 pounds (65 kg) with a body fat ratio of 5-6%.
Sohu once published a photo of Li’s back and pointed out that his hip muscles stood out like a Christmas tree. “Only when the middle and lower back muscles are well developed, the body fat ratio is extremely low, and the innate muscle structure is good can this “Christmas tree” muscle image be created ,” Sohu wrote.
