Bruce Lee was unique with the way he worked out because he took the speed of the workout into consideration. In addition to increasing weights and
repetitions Lee would increase the speed at which he did them. Sometimes instead of adding weight he would work to see how quickly he complete his exercise. His goal was to reduce recovery time and
increase stamina. He also took very close note of how long he rested between exercises. This idea is known s increasing velocity and is very good for any bodybuilder who is unfamiliar with this concept. Think about having do one set of Hammer Curls in 20 minutes.
It would not require as much strentgh and would not build as much muscle as it would if it had been 20 seconds. Bruce Lee shocked Martial Artist and Bodybuilders with the power of his physique.
Even legendary bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger had this to say about
him:
"Bruce Lee had a very-I mean very-defined physique. He had very little body fat. i mean, he probably had one of the lowest body fat counts of any athlete around.
And I think that's why he looked so believable. There's a lot of people that do all those moves and they do have skill, but they don't look visually as believable or as impressive as Bruce Lee did.
He was one of a kind. He was an idol for so many. The great thing about someone like Bruce Lee is that he inspires so many millions and millions of kids out there who want to follow in his foot
steps. They want to become Martial Artists, they want to go and be in movies. And so what they do is that they go out and they train ever day for hours and hours. Someone like Bruce Lee provides a
tremendous inspiration, which helps so many kids around the world. He had a profound and tremendous impact worldwide, and I think that he will be therefore admire for a long time."-Arnold
Schwarzenegger
Bruce always researched the way of the body and when he was done researching he would research some more. What Bruce encouraged, as do I, students to do
is to understand your body and research different ways that work for other people and ultimately develop your own unique way. He called it the way growing out of no way. So you do not go too easy
on it, and so you do not give it too much undue strain it is advised that you be aware of your strentghs and limitations. For example In the bookZen In The Martial
Artsthe author Joe Hyams talks about a moment he had where Bruce said this:
"You will never learn anything new unless you are ready to accept yourself with your limitations. You must accept the fact that you are capable in some directions
and limited in others, and you must develop your capabilities."
Supplements
Supplementsare used to assist with gaining weight and building muscle mass when you are body building. However, they can assist with the
process. There is not a magical pill out there that will do the work for you. However, some of the pills that are helpful include creatine, glutamine, whey protein, multi-vitamins, and weight
gainers. Many people use anabolic steroids but they are not the answer.
Steroids do work but have serious side effects. Prohormones used to be used as a supplement but they are now considered illegal in most places. If you take pills to gain weight, you are
wasting your money because there are not any pills out there that will do this. If they could make you gain weight by taking a pill, then the diet industry would have a solution for losing the
weight, also.
Finding The Best Workout Place
Gyms are very beneficial because they
will have all of the equipment that you need to continue your body building regimen. If you are unable to make it to a gym on a daily basis and you want to build your own home gym, you can. A good
home gym for body buildingwill include an incline and decline bench that has
crutches and leg extensions. You should be able to do squats, barbells, dumbbells, and it should have pull-up capabilities.
A home weight set should have 300 pound minimum weights on it. As your gym grows, you should have a power rack, curl bars, and you should have something to be able to do bench dips. The best
home gym will include high and low pulleys with lat and row attachments. You will also have a stationary bike for training on also. A home gym can take time to build and you can buy just a few
things at a time to get going on your body building routines.
