he was a superhuman when it came to strength and especially pound for pound
Lee's phenomenal fitness meant he was capable of performing many exceptional physical feats.[43][44][45][46] The following list are the physical feats that are documented and supported by reliable sources.
• Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.[47]
• Lee could spring a 235lb opponent 15 feet away with a 1 inch punch.[46]
• Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film at 24fps, so many scenes were shot in 32fps to put Lee in slow motion. Normally martial arts films are sped up.[48][49][50]
• 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.[51]
• Lee could perform push ups using only his thumbs[39][46]
• Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.[45]
• Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.[39]
• Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger[46][52][39][46]
• Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.[53]
• From a standing position, Lee could hold a 125lb barbell straight out. [45][39]
• Lee could break wooden boards six inches thick.[54]
• Lee performed a side kick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150-pound punching bag[45][55]
• Lee could cause a 300-lb bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a sidekick.[46]
• In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso perfectly horizontal midair. [56]
• Lee could thrust his fingers through unopened steel cans of Coca-Cola, at a time before cans were made of the softer aluminum metal.[57]
• Lee would use one finger to leave dramatic indentations on pine wood.[57]

don t mistake Bruce Lee s physical appearance as lack of strength. The experts of martial arts don t need the body size and shape of Arnold Schwarzaneger or Sylvester Stallone or Hulk Hogan The martial art experts can cause fatal damage with a single kick or a hand jab to the weakest parts of the body even before the strongest of the men can even react. The only threat to martial arts experts is people with the guns and other deadly weapons. Without these weapons it is difficult for humans to defeat who is expert at martial arts

Maybe he couldn't bench press your car, but only a fool would challenge him to a fight. Strong is useless unless you want things moved around the house... He will always be the greatest and most well known martial artist to ever exist.

Lol, he wasn't the strongest man in the world, and he never claimed to be. Granted he was probably strong for his weight class, especially since he was fully into weight training and he strengthened his forearm, shoulder and back muscles to help pack more power in his punches, but I doubt he would have won a weightlifting contest against Lou Ferrigno or Governor Arnold. The only other strength feat he performed live on TV that I know of and have seen were the one finger push-ups. As for breaking boards, the late actor James Coburn did once state in an interview that Bruce did use to practice breaking some boards with a side kick after dropping them at arms length from shoulder height, I think Dan Inosanto also corroborated this in another interview, but it was not to demonstrate his strength, it was merely to try to demonstrate power generated by speed, if his kick had been slow, the boards would've just flown away without breaking, the speed from the snap of his kick was supposedly what broke the board, it was a kind of party trick that Coburn learned from Bruce back then, since according to him, all he ever learned from Bruce and mastered was the sidekick.
