ENTER THE DRAGON for inspiration

Martial Artist, philosopher, instructor, actor Bruce Lee is where I seek great inspiration. Lee's devotion to fitness gave him a body that was admired even by many of the top names in the bodybuilding community


"Bruce Lee had a very—I mean a very defined physique. He had very little body fat. I mean, he probably had one of the lowest body fat counts of any athlete. And I think that's why he looked so unbelievable." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

From a physical aspect Lee did amazing things such as:

In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind

Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups - FIFTY!!!!!

Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer

From a philosophy aspect Lee had inspiring quotes:

"Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend..."

"
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successfull personality and duplicate it."


"It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential"

Even though Bruce Lee died at 32 he was the most famous martial arts actor ever and literally changed the world for the better. He created an iconic image that is everywhere in all parts of the world. THINK ABOUT THAT!?! He influenced popular culture more than anyone in the history of the world. He inspires me everyday. Ive helped approx 100 people improve their life quality - Bruce lee has helped MILLIONS. Thanks Bruce for inspiring me everyday.
