When you are workingout what should you do different in order to become more like Bruce Lee than Schwarzeneger

Question

I mean what should you do differend if you want your muscles to be not very big but strong and sharp with nice shape and flexible?
Should you do every exercize more times or less with many pauses?

you got me wrong.
I'm starting doing exercize and I just want to know what should you do differend to get these differend type muscles

Are you sure?lower weight, more repeats?
Or the opposite?
Remember, like Bruce Lee!

I'm doing many (not too many) exersizes, mostly push-ups

Answer 1

To gain huge muscle mass: low reps. and more weight, eat obscene amounts of food, take steroids (optional but it's a shortcut)

To gain muscle mass (not huge): the trick is STRETCHING, do it like crazy, the muscles are like rubber bands, the more flexible they are the stronger they will be withouth being huge.

I hope this was useful

Answer 2

I'm not sure I totally agree with this whole "low reps/heavy weight equals big muscles" for two simple reasons: experience & food. I've been weight lifting for about 8 years and mostly stick to using less than 8 reps a set and my body is closer to Bruce Lee's than Arnold's. Simply put, even if you're doing 5 sets of 2 reps, you're not gonna get huge unless you are already big or you eat a whole hell of a lot of food... which I don't. I also met this huge Hungarian dude (or something) who was doing like 15-20 reps on a set.

Really... I just think it comes down to how hard you push yourself and how much you eat.

However.... I do think there maaayyy be some truth to that theory (or I just like to err on the side of caution). The best thing to do with that in mind is to dabble in both sides: a little bit of light with a little bit of heavy. I start off light with a 12-15 rep set then work my way down to 4-6 by increasing the weight with about 3-4 sets total on just about every excercise I do.

Very important: if you're training for martial arts, keep this in mind....

A wise man once told me, "don't train your muscles to be slow"

If your goal is to train for martial arts, I would stick more to excercises where you keep maintain a somewhat fast speed (in comparison to weights anyways)... those would be like working with medicine balls and stuff like push ups, pull ups--nothing wrong with that since the "300" crew did most of their excercises like that.

Answer 3

Not sure what working out means but if its weight lifting then you use light to medium weight, high number of reps for your weight training for speed and strength. Heavier weight, fewer reps will tend to make your muscles more bulky and build power. Diet is another important factor here also that can help to influence how well defined or "cut" you become.

Answer 4

Bruce did light weight with high reps, lots of cardio, calisthenics. you can actually search for his workour routine on the web

Answer 5

correct practice of the basics of martial arts wherein agility, speed, endurance and power should be developed. and of course, learning how to out-wit your opponent. martial art does not only focus on the physical but also on the mind.

Answer 6

Low (or no) weight and high reps is the way for sure. Also do speed drills. (throw punches quickly etc..)

Answer 7

eat more greens - don't smoke pot (as Governator is seen doing in early film clips) don't use steroids ( do I have to really need to proove this) and MOST DEFINITELY have some self realization that being like someone else (if its obsessive) is not a healthy thing - be yourself and achieve your own standards.

Answer 8

Lower weight, higher repetitions.
