Here's some facts about Bolo's workout if anybody would like to know. According to the official bio page on the net, and Black Belt magazine a more reliable source, actor Bolo Yeung was actually originally a skinny kid who swam from Kowloon to Hong Kong when he was 15.
Originally from communist China, he literally swam for a better life in Hong Kong way back when. While in Hong Kong, he built up his muscles from working at various labor jobs including construction, while in addition lifting weights to become a powerlifter. Yeung attained his massive size by the age of 23. As to his diet, I think he cited mass quantities of different kinds of fish you can buy in Hong Kong. Allegedly he survived on almost nothing but meat for breakfast lunch and dinner.
The combination of physical labor in addition to strength training for powerlifting, and a protein exclusive diet, is what ultimately gave him his massive strength. As to why his pectoral muscles are so big, the reason that is, is because while Yeung never used Atlas dynamic tension, he DID read about Charles Atlas. All people serious about strength training will encounter his work sooner or later.
Atlas explicitly stated in his work the importance of the pectoral muscles as being vital stabilizers, a "counterweight" if you will for the back muscles. Also, the key to physical strength in the arms, he stated, was strength in the pectoral muscles. While he did not do dynamic tension, Yeung nevertheless emphasized pectoral and upper back exercises before he built up his arms, adhering to the Atlas philosophy that pecs give arm strength as they serve a mechanical purpose for arm strength.
The reason Yeung's pecs are so massive, and all top bodybuilder's as well actually, has to do with the fact that, while most bodybuilders do not do Atlas Dynamic tension, most nevertheless agree on the principle that the pectoral muscles are vital.
Virtually every champion known, from Atlas himself, to Steve Reeves, to of course the governator, all had massive pecs. Yeung is no different; indeed, back in his prime he was easily the strongest martial artist on this planet. If you rejuvenated him to where he was 30 years old, he could probably bull his way trough MMA today, just on raw power.
No one will argue Bolo Yeung had a pretty intimidating pressence; hence the reason he was used as a bad guy in so many martial arts flicks.

Don't be hating boy. Just get your head out of Arnold's ass and go read some books or something. That guke you speak about could probably tear you head off and stick it up your disrespecting ass.

Dude, No one said anything about the Chinaman.

He would need a visa and pass airport security first... and I could allways build a stupid wall to prevent "him" from getting to me... or wait, I could grab my winchester and go old school on his ass like we used to...

Musclecenter can you tell me what the guy was like in person. I always heard and read allot about him but I never knew anybody that actually met the guy. I already know hes a hard worker for what he achieved already. I was also wanting to know if he ever pulled that bad guy persona on anybody like in his bad guy roles in movies just for laughs.

Bolo is a beast, and must've really stuck out amongst the Chinese people.
I spent 3 weeks in different parts of China: Shanghai, Chongquing (Spelling), and Guangzhou. I was 260 lbs at the time and I'm about 5'11. Believe me, everytime I went out people would just stare, some guy in the markets kept yelling to me "YOU ARE STRONG LIKE TYSOOOON!!! SO MUCH MUSCLE, LIKE ROCKKYYYYY" Just like that LOL Very nice and Humble people though, was a great experience. Food took a little bit to get used to!

Bolo was also known for his herculean eating schedule
His basement was filled with giant freezers containing meat carcases and huge blocks of cheese.
He apparently ate 5lb of bison per day, 4lb of mackerel and 8lb of various cheeses.

no,
I am the right.

I don't want to turn a Bolo thread into a midget discussion, but I have to ask:
If you are 5'7, how tall is theguy to the left?
-
keep in mind in that Van Damme scene BOLO is probably 60 years old. incredible!
-
