Pavel Tsatsouline, Bruce Lee, and the Nervous System (deadlift and press)

- Back in 2003 I found this gem, Power to the People, at a Barnes and Noble bookstore. This was the first book that concisely explained to me how to activate the nervous system to be stronger.
It explained to me how Bruce Lee was so strong.
There are two exercises in the book: the deadlift and the side press. The program is basic and simple.
I don't get too far into the program itself as it's an endless weight pursuit. You could work up to a 225 x 5 deadlift on this program and I'm tellin' ya, you'll be as strong as you need.
Unless you're an NFL lineman or something...and then you're not watching this anyway.

Great Philosophy. This is exactly what my goal is, enough power for life. thx
Great videos man, your channel is underrated!
Thank you very much for this
I definitely need to engage my lats more when lowering (or pulling) the weight down in the overhead press. I have too little control, and it's probably why my shoulders hate the press. Anyway, great video, I hope you keep making them.
Steve Cotter taught a technique where you would pull down and someone or something would hold your elbow in place. You could try an isometric hold in that position. It would help with the lat control
I pull my shoulder blades together & pull my shoulders down. Helps to stop impingement too.
When deadlifting, keep your hands outside your knees and keep your neck level with your back, so don't look up all the time.
Sorry to be the one... but did you actually read the book at all? Your form is terrible.. hands are in front of your knees, you yanked the bar up.. not a slow grind. You are asking for injuries.
You can find pics online of Bruce Lee's weight training sheet. He wasn't particularly strong.
Some of his feats were quite impressive--especially the body weight stuff. I always hear the story of him holding a 70 pound barbell at arms length--if true, that's quite impressive. But yeah otherwise he wasn't a power lifter, but very gifted with fast twitch muscles, which he definitely maximized through his training.
They are pretty long outdated as these were notes that he had when he was still in Hong Kong, and he looked much softer there before heading to America. Also for whatever reason he went the opposite route from the usual martial arts strength and conditioning and massively prioritized the strength of his arms over the rest of his body - at least with weighted exercise.
@@joh_kun5530 The amazingly -strong among us begin with great strength. Early workouts still give us a good idea of the subject’s potential. Not focusing on lower body and using light weights for lower body are two different things.
If you CAN put more weight on the bar, & lift it w/good form, why wouldn't you?
Risk/reward ratio and personal goals/recovery ability.
@@workingmanfitnessContinued good form = No increased risk. Increased conditioning, strength, & muscle, that enabled good form = No decreased recovery ability. If you're 5 lbs stronger, but you don't use that strength, you won't stay 5 lbs stronger.
@@lazur1 if your goal is chasing numbers, then yes, 5lbs is 5lbs. But if someone is using that exercise as an auxiliary to train something else ( lat pull downs to get better at pull ups ) then getting stronger in that weighted exercise may not be important. Like he said, it all comes down to personal goals.
