Karate Rebreakable

The legendary Bruce Lee is undoubtedly the most recognized martial artist from throughout history. Bruce Lee is not only known for his speed and martial arts skill but his incredible strength as well. It is true that towards the end of his career Bruce did use alternative means of maintaining muscle through electronic ab workers and by lifting weights, though a big part of the reason for this was due to the amount of time he was spending writing and acting. For the majority of his life and stunning martial arts career he relied on practicing martial arts and workouts using his own body weight to get in and stay in impressive shape in order to be able to complete the amazing feats that have made him so famous.

Bruce Lee's Shows Of Strength & Fitness Included:

* Breaking wooden boards 6 inches thick.

* Holding elevated V sit positions for over 30 minutes.

* Ability to do one handed push ups with only his thumb and index finger.

* Performing sets of 50 reps for one handed pull ups.

There are many ways to work out at home or outdoors that can enable you to build great strength and endurance. This can include a vast number of forms of cardio including running and cycling to practicing martial arts forms and Katas for muscle conditioning and flexibility as well as using your body weight or household items for strength training. However if you want to specifically be able to impress your friends with the above Bruce Lee type feats then below are some tips on building on those specific targets.

Board Breaking

Board breaking is of course about more than just strength, as it also involves technique and speed as well. The best way to master this is by practising your board breaking moves repeatedly for developing those muscles, whether they are punches, kicks, elbows or headbutts. This can be done both by adding weight and by practising on a Wavemaster or heavy bag. Work your way up with boards, starting with one inch boards and increase. You will probably want to invest in plastic re-breakable boards.

V Sit

This is no easy feat for most and you can do yourself some seriously painful damage if you try it before you are ready. Most of you will first need to develop and increase your flexibility and ability to stretch first. Anyone can attain this, but it can take time to regain your flexibility. Start by doing splits everyday, holding them longer and going lower each time.

Push Ups

Start by both getting really good a push ups and building finger and wrist strength. You can improve your gains by doing level, incline and decline push ups as well as having weight on your back and doing knuckle push ups. Set weekly goals for improvement and go for it.

Pull Ups

Invest in a doorway pull up bar for your home and force yourself to use it every time you walk by. Just do one set and go to max reps you can handle. Also set goals for your actual training sessions to increase your reps. They will get easier and easier. By the time you can do 25 two handed reps you should be able to pull off a few one handed ones. Keep building on it.
