For example: trying to push down a tree. Looking at his notes and diaries, we see that Bruce Lee used overcoming isometrics as a large part of his training. Bruce used multiple different overcoming isometric routines both in his own training and in the plans he wrote for his students. This is very interesting, considering the way that Bruce Lee performed. Isometrics like this are often used by strongmen, particularly for strengthening the grip, and by powerlifters to address sticking points in a range of motion. Bruce used a variety of compound movements with maximum force, as well as some strikes. Could this explain some of his speed, power, and rigidity? The aim of this video is to break down the specific overcoming isometric routines that Bruce Lee used, and to analyse how they might have worked and how we can apply them in our own workouts. What do you guys think? Will you be incorporating this type of training? Do you think this technique was an important part of Bruce's performance?
