I remember being a young kid and finding “enter the dragon” on a vhs and couldn’t really sound out the name “Bruce” so I called him Brocco Lee for most my childhood 😭
It’s a shame we don’t have more footage of him doing this and the 1” punch. We have entire movies of him doing scripted action scenes, but so little of the real stuff.
A one handed push-up is incredibly hard to start with, and on two fingers makes it superhuman level.
One handed push up is not hard for young men.
Notice his wide spread legs? That provides balance. A push-up is roughly equal to around benching with 70% body weight and given that most people outperform on unilateral arm exercises - if you can bench press your weight, you should be able to do a one-handed push up with little training.
Yep. And with average weights going up that makes it that much more difficult. I see too many kids in high school at 200lbs who would struggle to do one push-up, and forget benching their body weight.
For young men? It is not that hard...I'd guess a healthy young adult should be able to do it with <1 year of training.
I say around 5% of US adults between the age of 18 and 25 would be able to do a one-handed pushup with <1 month training.
25% would be able to do it with <6 months training.
Lmao I love you claim that a 1 handed pushup should not be hard for young men, and then in this comment say around 5% of all adults in the US would be able to do it. If less than 5% of the population can do something, then it's hard to do my dude.
lol...no.
Less than 5% of the people can likely calculate, say 12x11 in their head. But it is not hard. With a few months training, >25% should be able to do it.
I guess it depends on your definition of hard. For me, hard are things that require >100 hours of effort. Really hard are things that require >1000 hours of effort.
One handed pushup for young men is neither.
Again you keep saying with training. With training you can make anything not hard, but that's not what you originally claimed. You claimed most young men in general would be able to do a 1 handed pushup and most absolutely could not.
I thought some training was implied.
Like "Most people should be able to change the oil in their car" with the implication "Once it is shown to them and proper tools provided".
No lmao stop moving the goal posts to make yourself feel right and admit your original claim was that any young man in general should be able to do it, because that is exactly what you said.
How hard is this really? I'm going to try. Brb
Edit: almost fucked my wrist trying a one-handed pushup. Figured being able to do 150 normal push-ups somehow translates into one handed pushups being doable. Not so much. Back after a bit more training.
I'm not trying to devalue his skills, but even doing a one handed push up is easy when you spread your legs apart. I feel like this would be a minimum requirement for somebody that probably did martial arts 8+ hours a day.
I don't think people have seen or heard of powerlifting competitions. Some folks are 130lbs lifting way more than what he just did, even if his body weight was 140(the person below said this), but because it's Bruce Lee, I'm supposed to be impressed.
I was just like, holy shit look at this narcissism rofl.
Him not caring is fine, him not caring but must voice it out for everyone to see is hilarious.
Bruce honed that body on a diet of mainly lean meat and chicken dishes. Unlike his lesser known vegan brother, Brocco...
Dad?
Legend has it, that although Bruce was fast, he had an even faster cousin, Sudden Lee...
Legend has it I'm his brother and I can't take jokes
You're his brother..!? Surely you can't be Sirius..
Well would you look at that Its Sirius lee his brother
Hey at least all these brothers are better looking than the most hideous of them all: their brother Ug
It takes a terrible father to come up with such awful names, which his dad was Apparent Lee
AkshuaLee, it was not his dad
It was his grandfather who was BareLee older than them
He was also rumoured to have fathered a daughter. She was always sad because he was not around much. Miss Erab Lee
At least he's not like that brother who became a hermit, Lone...
I remember being a young kid and finding “enter the dragon” on a vhs and couldn’t really sound out the name “Bruce” so I called him Brocco Lee for most my childhood 😭
This made my day XD, almost choke, but a great morning joke 🤣
You sunavabitch!
Bro
Did his sister, Barbara marry Mr. Knot? Barbara Lee-Knot?
Also dead 🤷♂️

It’s hard enough on 2 hands for many people. Two fingers doesn’t make any sense.
You should watch calisthenics competitions. There are dudes out there doing planche on 2 fingers
2 per hand, right?
Nah, there are really guys out there who can do a planche using only a finger per hand. Usually using their index fingers or thumbs
Damn! Have a link? I wanna see that.
It is fine, his mass is miserable

How many people do you think can actually bench press their own weight? I'd guarantee it's a lot less than you think.
As a percentage of people you see at the gym? fairly high. As a percentage of the American public? very very low.
Yeah I was referring to the guys comment about most young men. Most young men, referring to the public, absolutely could not.
Yep. And with average weights going up that makes it that much more difficult. I see too many kids in high school at 200lbs who would struggle to do one push-up, and forget benching their body weight.
Even a chin up, it's hard enough for most people. It's expected, since our civilization (sadly?)doesn't require physical endurance for most of us.

It’s easy, just train for a year and you can do it!

>Less than 5% of the people can likely calculate, say 12x11 in their head. really?
How many people do you know who can bench their own body weight? If you don’t lift regularly, you probably can’t.
I completely agree. I also realize the majority of reddiors are most likely out of shape as well though.
He would feel so silly when he realises it's much easier with two Hands.

Yea I bet that takes incredible forearm strength
I can’t do half a push up with two hands. So yea, it’s quite hard
Strength to weight ratio off the charts
*Ants enters the chat*
*squished* Next!
cock pushups or go home
Cock pushup, just the one
Yea I would imagine he only has one cock
No hand pushup is old, we want cock pushup
Urethra pushups or I'm not interested.
some suspect he went home doing just that at that actress place
To be fair he's also using his arm
And two legs!
Good spot!
If you notice he's also using gravity to pull his weight down, kinda ruins the magic
Me laying in bed eating fruit gummies, "Yeah I could do that"
Legend has it Bruce is the Father of Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris trained under Bruce Lee actually.
Chuck Norris is Bruce Lee father.
I wonder how long it took him to achieve this
1% of his power. Bruce Lee could do pushups with his breath. 
Legend has it that his farts once took shape of a kettle and poured tea for shits and giggles.
Honest question: while this might be extremely difficult, what is the benefit in strength to be able to perform this exercise?
What you all haven't realize is that he's switching between the thumb and pointer so fast that it looks like he's using two fingers.
One armed * pushups with only 2 fingers
One armed * pushups with only 2 fingers * but doesn't go down to his chest
That's because even floors instinctively moves away from the Bruce.
Then he dies
0. 0. 0. Arm needs to fully extend going up and break the 90 degree plane going down
I'm not trying to devalue his skills, but even doing a one handed push up is easy when you spread your legs apart. I feel like this would be a minimum requirement for somebody that probably did martial arts 8+ hours a day.
I don't think it's that impressive when u weigh 120 lbs
He was 141 lbs
I don't think people have seen or heard of powerlifting competitions. Some folks are 130lbs lifting way more than what he just did, even if his body weight was 140(the person below said this), but because it's Bruce Lee, I'm supposed to be impressed.
I was going to say ‘who honestly gives a shit?’. But everyone there was giving a shit. I still don’t care though
Cared enough to watch and comment though
Glad you care what I said
You'd have to clean the cheeto dust off your fingers before attempting this.
Hey everyone! I don't care about this thing! Look everybody! I don't care! Look!!!
I was just like, holy shit look at this narcissism rofl. Him not caring is fine, him not caring but must voice it out for everyone to see is hilarious.
