The first principle of training like Bruce Lee is to lift what can be lifted. What this means is that you should have command and control of the weight through space. How can this command and control be displayed? Easily, actually. If you cannot stop the weight from moving at any point through the range of motion, then the weight is too heavy. For example, can you stop a dumbbell at point during a front raise? Or is the dumbbell so heavy that momentum is carrying it through the range of motion? Bruce Lee was a master of this and translated this demand of command and control into his martial arts practices as well.
The second principle to train like the legendary Bruce Lee is contraction creates command. By contracting the muscles following an exercise, there is an opportunity to create a greater mind-muscle connection. With a greater link between the two, you will have greater command over the muscles themselves in their pursuit of growth. Bruce Lee famously did this with pushups where, following a set, he would cross his arms and flex his chest. The good thing is that this can be done with almost any exercise and corresponding muscle group. For example, following a set of curls you would flex your biceps, or lat pulldowns; you would be flexing your back. Apply this technique to your training and see for yourself how you create a better mind-muscle connection to lead to further muscle growth than you previously thought.
Bruce Lee’s third training principle was to create strength by not losing strength. You’ve likely heard me say in the past that to improve performance on an exercise, you have to plug the energy leaks. Bruce Lee had a very similar approach to his training and workouts. This was displayed with his famous fingertip pushups - without creating rigidity and stability throughout the body, the exercise would be near impossible to perform. But this principle applies to more than just fingertip pushups; plugging the energy leaks can be done on so many exercises in so many forms.
Another application of creating strength was Bruce Lee’s inclusion of overcoming isometrics. He commonly did this on the bench press and the squat by pressing the bar against the pins of the rack so that the bar would move no further. Overcoming isometrics is a time-tested lifting technique that has helped to produce great strength results and is something you should look to include in your workouts as well.
To train like Bruce Lee, you have to understand his philosophy on food; being that you are what you eat. Bruce Lee was very conscious of the food that he put in his body and took great care to make sure that he was putting high quality, nutritious food into his system. He famously had an industrial juicer in his home, something unheard of at the time, to help prepare his meals. Bruce also understood the importance of including high quality protein in his meal diet as well. Taking care of what he ate and what he put into his body helped create the body that he sported and the performance to go along with it. I, myself, can’t stress the importance of high quality nutrition if you want to achieve the body you are looking for. Aesthetics or performance, it doesn’t matter; they are going too heavily rely on the food you eat.
The last principle of Bruce Lee’s training and workouts is that your abs should be like steel. While some might focus on their abs solely for appearance, Bruce Lee felt that the core was important for his martial arts performance as well. Thus, he focused on resilience and rigidity in his ab training. One ab exercise that Bruce Lee was famous for performing was the dragon flag, but if that move is too advanced, you can achieve similar results with exercises like the step out and plate drags. In this training principle, it’s important to take note of the obliques, but being able to train them with overload is even better. This can be done easily by hanging from a bar and performing oblique focused exercises there.

"Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless. Like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” ~Bruce Lee
Do you know the meaning of that?
@@MrLoowiz conform
@@MrLoowiz adapt. It's a fighting philosophy.
survivalists say the jungle is neutral. It can be your friend or work against you maybe somwhat the same work with it not against it
@@hachimaru295 right on the money.
If you must be strong, be strong. If you must be gentle, be gentle. Water adapts the the environment, not the environment to it.
In life you should do the same. You should be passionate and full of life, but do it in a way which causes the least damage and strife.
One thing I have also always said about the weights in the card. The date says 1965, this was relatively early in his lifting. His strength didn't peak until something around the Big Boss which was around 5 or 6 years later. A lot can be gained in that time. I bet his numbers in 1970 were much higher.
This man was my hero in the childhood. Glad to see you made a video about his workout. Actually he wasone of those old school athlets who made me to go into sport and now I even trying to make some workout videos even if it's not so good enough yet. i complitely grateful that i stand on a right way thanks to the legendary people like Bruce
Are you talking about Jeff 😂
I would learn Muay Thai , Boxing and Judo just to be a bit like Bruce ... But Time doesn't go backwards
I can't tell you how glad I am that Bruce and Arnold were amongst the first people I saw as a child :D ¬ 3 y.o.
50 years later, this man is still being talked about.
If Bruce (and Brandon) were alive today, they would've love to have guest starred in this episode: like father...like son. 🥹
RIP to both legends! 🥋🥋
That would have been awsome to see a father and son martial arts action film 🤯👍
@@mattnobrega6621 checkout Sidekicks (1993) with Chuck Norris.
Bruce Lee was a beast, thanks for covering this Jeff. Nobody does it better than you!

Heck yes!!!!!! Bruce spoke about "Tension" and the eccentric contraction. He also did overcoming isometrics, as well as high rep and light weight. ONE of his varieties was to do as many reps as possible in 60 seconds.
His First ever movie I watched as a little kid was "Enter the dragon" That inspired me so much and kids of my age to join Kung-Fu classes and learn something non-traditional for an Indian kid. Now I'm 47 and still admire him as legend and an ideal. Thanks Jeff for bringing this up. Love your work and programs( I'm part of a few).
Make this part of a series. Break down all the great tips and techniques from the best athletes. Great stuff.
Most people remember Bruce Lee as a martial arts legend. But he also a philosophers and an artist of life.
This is the perfect blend of amazing information with just enough entertainment to keep me riveted from the beginning to the end. You crushed this guys!
Thanks Jeff!
100% agreed! I started incorporating much of what Jeff discussed about Bruce's exercises and diet a few months ago. Lifting less, but incorporating multiple muscle groups for each exercise and almost always pausing throughout and at the end of each rep with 100% intensity and isometric control. This along with quality controlled core work has greatly increased my overall musculature and I'm making gains that I've never seen before.
It's a whole new level of working out!
Definitely not easy!!! I have to mentally prepare for each workout, but so worth it!!
Bruce was way ahead of his time! #Legend
Man his work out videos were crazy. Bruce was a beast!
I gotta admit placing a bar underneath something that can't move but keep pushing into it is actually really intelligent, definitely adding this to my workout
Get under your car and push up 😂
Same here bro. Great idea
Jeff and Jesse have been consistent in the high quality of the videos since pretty much since the beginning, but this was the best video they made in a long time in terms of information. Loved this video, never unsubscribing
Glad you post this today, I’m 75, a little worried about using heavy weights, I can see how this would be a great way to build strength with lite weights.
Been watching this channel for years. Applying the lessons to my daily routine and workouts. Awesome!
I'm grateful for this video. Bruce Lee was so much more than a great martial artist but also a brilliant philosopher. I trained WC and JKD and man I've never been so humbled. Keep up the great content sir!
Thank you for honoring Bruce Lee !
Please do a RUclips on your strategies for handling stress and staying focused on eating clean.
Love Bruce Lee! He's been one of my main sources of inspiration for a while now. Thanks for showing us how the legend approached training.
For me, this may possibly be the most inspiring video. Thank you, Jeff!
Awesome video! Always been a huge Bruce Lee fan. Thanks Jeff for showing his five core principles of his workout and diet.
Luv it!!! Thank you so much, been waiting for more Bruce Lee
🖤🖤🇮🇹🇮🇹
Great video! I have just began to incorporate "overcoming isometrics", another training method he used, and so far i feel like its got some benefits !
Informative, super fun to watch and a respectful tribute to the great legend. Thank you for the video. I watched it multiple times because this video offers so much value.
I have many trust issues, but I will always trust this man!
Been waiting on this! Thankyou Jeff!
Love this one lots! Great fan of Bruce Lee and great fan of Jeff as well! Thank you Athlean X! Thats a real beautiful cut out too!
What a “refreshing” video. This channel is truly a pool of fitness wisdom. A great tribute to BL 🥋.
The video I've been waiting for. Thank you Jeff
Bruce Lee (RIP), was the person I looked up to because his body aesthetic, was more achievable, based upon my similar, smaller, frame. This was a great video, Jeff. Thank you!
Thank you for being able interpret one of my fitness idols and explaining it in a way I understand!
Always doing amazing work mate, cheers
I understand many Gwei Lo(Western man) love Bruce Lee, but Jeff pull out those legacy records is really impressive. Love you guys!
I DID replay that scene… again and again.
Great teaching. Great editing. GREAT guys!
Thank you Jeff! I love how you incorporated Bruce Lee
Thank you for all these tips. This was an excellent video. Bruce Lee has always been one of my heroes.
I've started incorporating your tricep work out in to my full body work out. Incredible results so far. I perform the barbell extension (bench) crikey it really does the job! Decided to include an arm day with your 100 rep exercises so on one of my rest days I can destroy my arms :)
All this information/ advice/ Bruce Lee tips - loving how in line they are with calisthenics essentials
Great vid.. Master Lee also has a 3-minute stretch workout when you first wake up.. Static Contractions, to get the blood flowing and great quick 3 min mediation before you start your day.
IMO one of the best videos you have done, informative, funny and respectful. Thank you guys
Thank you Jesse!! Awesome as usual Jeff
Thanx a lot for this video!!!
He is the reason why i started my WingTsun Training over 15 years ago.
And thanx a lot for all these greatful videos! It‘s often the reason i keep hangin on! 👍🏻
TY Jeff because of a significant low back injury subjectively (symptoms) n objectively (MRI), learned to work on deep core muscles c LIGHT GOOD FORM, there are so many muscles that can be fired up c the posterior chain and throughout the entire body c disadvantageous exercises... not sexy or bro exercises but nevertheless effective n strengthening n developing functional movements for the biggest gym... THE GYM OF LUFE! TY again Jeff n keep up your informative content!!!
Very informative and well explained it is great to see a legendary person still recognized for their achievements and ways they did things in life I always respected Bruce Lee always wanted to learn from him just never got the chance
Best way to workout is by being motivated. Thanks for the vid!
I watch a lot of your videos all the time an apply what you teach to my workouts. This is by far the best video yet or at least my favorite Bruce is my idol
Great video as usual!!!
FINALLY, Thank u so much i wanted to see a video on this from you for a long time.
2:08 So true. Lifting heavy is great, but it's the slow controlled lifts that absolutely floor me.
These transitions were great. Had me laughing out loud (while tightening my muscles 💪🏻)
Great video. Love the detail!!! Full body engagement is what I have termed it. Thanks!!!
Thanks for another great video Jeff !
Always teaching useful information. Thank you for everything
I've been waiting for this video!
Bless.. n respect man for reminding us of our abilities..
Love the video. I never get a pump except in my forearms when training. Concentration and control sets sound like a good idea instead of ego lifting for a number.
Very impressed with this video its helpful for how I want to approach my next work out.
Yes I replayed it. Stay awesome Jesse!
Great episode; Jessie's finest work!
Superb. Will save for later. One of my heroes.
Jeff we love you!
Wasn’t sure what this was all about, but this is amazing
This was a damn good video. As a fan for many years, I have want to my own version of Bruce lee. I'm just not ready for that level yet.
Check out the concentric ripples in Jeff’s back at 6:39. Very impressive!
Thanks sir for making such a video.
There's a book that called The Art of Expressing the Human Body that was put together by a guy named John Little. He 2as given access to Bruce's notes by his widow. It documents the evolution of Bruce's training over time.
did you read it? Is it useful to you?
Great Video Jeff!
Nice video and I like the background drawing of Bruce.
wow wow wow. This knowledge is gold. Thank you!
You may want to check out Bruce Lee's "The Art of Expressing the Human Body". The book is a compendium of tons of his hand written workouts. You can see in detail how his training evolved.
It also helps to think intently about the muscles being engaged. Mental focus and concentration on the muscle is great to combat energy leaks.
Literally think about the muscles contracting as you work them.
EXCELLENT! Thanks for presenting!
Absolute legend !Thanks Jeff
completely awesome video! Thanks Jeff .. The only thing that's unknown about Bruce Lee is how long his practices would have allowed him to live
I can't say this enough, thx for existing 🥰
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Great video about a great man - delightful to watch. Well done guys.
Thank you for the inspiration!! I am not yet ready to give up my cheesecake and pies yet.. I do Abs & Core pretty much daily, and I was able to get rid of some of my midsection fat :)
I always appreciate the use of the term “moment arm”. Not heard it used outside of aviation.
I found this video really insightful. I am currently doing the Dragon Bonus program. I am gonna apply these concepts to these workouts.
Great video!!👏🏻💪🏻
Really cool video, y'all. I noticed I was not really engaging my whole arm when I was doing side laterals for my mid delts. I was somewhat engaging my glutes and core when I was doing shoulder press. When I did squats I engaged my glutes to lower back as if moving together as one. I do need to get on my core strength gains. I really enjoy controlling my whole and in complete control. Going to try that dragon flag
I was just thinking about Bruce Lee while doing abs yesterday! Daddy Jeff really does know what you're doing!
Bruce Lee. A LEGEND. Very interesting aproach.
You're the legend, Jeff!
That side lateral tip goes long way. Do a rep while just holding on the the handle. Then do one squeezing as hard as you can with wrist and forearms, that side felt activation goes way up. GREAT VIDEO JEFF
This is information much needed
Thank you for great advice and guide 🙏🏿🙏🏿
excellent video, thank you!
It's cool to see you revisit the topic of Bruce Lee's athleticism with new aspects of it and to see how far you've come with this channel with a higher level of video production.
As well, there is now Jessie....God bless Jessie. ; D
Please make a video on corrective exercises for functional thoracic scoliosis
Hello Jeff been watching you for 3 years now🎉🎉
Bruce lee is my favorite legend! He inspires me to do martial arts, I’m currently doing kung fu right now
" Cardboard cutouts don't hit back " Kudos to Jeff and Jesse & Bruce for being in such phenomenal shape
Excellent perfect video
Thank you very much
Amazing! Lee was an idol for me in my youth, his Jeet Kune Do book was my bible.
