Was Bruce Lee on steroids?
Linda Lee's second husband, Tom Bleeker, believes that it was Bruce's abuse of anabolic steroids that damaged him both physically and emotionally. Tom Bleeker makes these claims in his book Unsettled Matters, which he wrote after his divorce with Linda. Bleeker believes that Bruce's steroid abuse may have begun in the late sixties. He is the only one to ever make such claims, and in his book he attempts to defend his accusations, "The issue of Lee's steroid use is complex," says Bleeker. "But the main thing that I wanted to get across was that steroids damaged Bruce physically and emotionally. Like so many other athletes who have used them Bruce paid a heavy price. I know that there will be those who will scream and yell that never in a million years would Bruce use steroids." Steroids however, may be one explanation for Lee's often erratic behavior and violent outbursts (roid rage) during the final years of his life. Tom Bleeker concludes that in the end, he believes that Bruce was either poisoned or suffered a massive adrenal failure from steroid or drug abuse.

Must have been to be 120 pounds ripped
-
I doubt it he was a little guy, he had brain swelling cause of death maybe due to to many head hits not sure. If on roids he would have been somewhat bigger.
-
I had a student that had come to me from his style of JKD this student was friends with his wife. His wife did say that he did use PED.
-
Guy was TINY. No way he used.
-
He was mostly using clen, speed, cynomel, etc. which is why he was barely over 100 pounds
just look at enter the dragon and game of death
-
Guy was TINY. No way he used.
Size has nothing to do with usage. Juicing for the recovery benefits alone would be a tremendous benefit. He didn't train to be a BB'r so he wouldn't have gotten huge.
-
from his wife, he weighed 114 in enter the dragon
-
Full grown men should not weigh 114 lbs imho.
-
Maybe he had brain damage from being hit in the head so often that caused bis outbursts. Bruce lee wasn't always Bruce lee. He had to train to get there and take lumps along the way
-
people that defend him on the inter net, brag that he was 125 pounds in enter the dragon... but he was really only 114 pounds.
-
Bruce was a bodybuilder iron pumper at heart, he always wanted to be mr. america at a young age. He knew the great advantages and positive health aspects of PED, whoever wants to say PED caused his health problems is full of it, they need to consult a HRT doctor before putting out bad opinions about a legend. I dont think ole dude was kickin ass in the world when bruce was at his peak, so he really not qualified to even speak about bruce lee.
-
PED did NOT kill Bruce. Other drugs did.

Did Bruce influence you to be so lean and ripped?
-
Equagesic
Composition
It combines
Aspirin 325mg (for pain relief) and
Meprobamate 200mg (used here as a muscle relaxant).
and in some formulations it is also quoted to contain Ethoheptazine, an Opioid Analgesic.
-

lol.
-

No doubt, if your chick weighs more than you, there's problems.
-
Bruce Lee did take a number of drugs which were allegedly brought in by one of his students...Robert Baker.
There's no way to confirm this however as he died in 1993.
-
I figured his light body weight would make some say no way, but he did interact with bodybuilders of his day and his studious nature could have led him to PED's...
-
superior Asian genetics on display, nothing new here

What's a PED? Seriously I don't know a steriod I assume.
-
I would say a lethal combination of rice and cocaine, the little giant was an alpha male, doomed to die early
-
no bruce lee inspires me to break the mold of what the systematic slavery of elite powers hold over peoples minds and souls, for the movie enter the dragon i believe it was, the hollywood big wigs wanted to control everything, until they realized the only way bruce was going to do the film, was to do it bruces way, that was a huge battle he won in hollywood to have control of the creativity and production, and a testament to live life on your own terms and not some terms that are heartless and soulless, because someone with money and power is forcing a person to do what they want the person to do
-
This mass monster John McEnroe admitted to using :-\ Roid Rage all the time. Couldn't handle his shit. Says he only used once but the dude is lying.
-
Didn't read but of course he was on.
-
Yes. Years ago, some of Lee's personal papers regarding martial arts, fitness, and other things were lent to a biographer(John Little) who made some of them public. While there were no admissions of use, I noticed that Lee clipped and kept a few articles on "tissue building drugs" which were a common name for steroids at the time.
I don't think Lee was a hard core user, but I do think he might of dabbled as many hardcore California lifters did at the time.
-
Yes and didn't eat. 114 lbs?! A male anorexic.
-
he looked way too thin to be suspiscious
no thickness whatsoever
very lean and conditioned tho
-
114 on PED I think he was too crazy about being ripped too many uppers
-
114 on PED I think he was too crazy about being ripped too many uppers
But didn't he have the personality of trying anything to increase speed and power? Even snake oil type shit?

Why don't you go and read DA his last rites pen-ally.
-
Probably died from concussion/swelling/hemorrhage of brain
-
he was up to 160lbs but it made him too slow and he dropped the weight. He was after speed and power not size. And yes he was shredded all year round all the time.
In plain physics, acceleration contributes far more power than mass alone. Remember that physics formula about velocity, mass, acceleration, etc...
Being slow and carrying mass will not deliver as much power in a hit than smaller but far greater acceleration, velocity, etc...
-
from his wife, he weighed 114 in enter the dragon
Don't think ever weighted 114 prob around 135 , many articles he stated he even went up to 165 and thought that was too "heavy " for him . Was very intrigued with bbing
Had very good genes for bbing should have thorn the thong instead
Chinese / German genetics :D
Looked his best in way of the dragon
-
Go and read some of his books, he was around 147lbs
As for the PED issue.
Of course he MUST have been on something, everyone here knows you cant achieve anything at all without it. ::)

Good on you bro! I love how you don't let grammar 'hold you down'

I was told Chinese Martial Artist that he (B.Lee) overdosed with chinese herbs !?.

Bruce Lee will never be replicated.

Bodybuilding fans tend to attract insecure young men. Why does everyone young bodybuilding fan think everyone is a user? I think it's to protect their fragile ego over their failures in the gym. Bruce Lee used whole body routines from examples in his training journal. He was also known to run 5 miles a day. He really was a tiny guy. He was ripped but he trained really hard. I believe it was hard work and nothing else. Next I'm going to hear on this site is how Mother Theresa was on PED.

^^Good Post. Who's next? :Pee Wee Herman and Woody Allen on steroids??!! ''He must of been on steroids''(especially in regards to a guy who's size and conditioning could be natural) is the mantra of the genetically inferior(in regards to muscle gain ability) and/or lazy in the gym. Bruce was tiny, maybe some uppers, but juice? ::) I'd have to see it to believe it. Flame away boys! 8)

i used to watch mcenroe play just to see him rage out on the official ;D he was a great player also

He was an actor, so it was all about how he looked on screen, the extremely lean look and speed gave him a unique look and it obviously worked.
As others as mentioned, he could've been heavier and was, but this look worked for the movies.

i remember my "wake up call"
it was in the summer of 2010
a fat girl at work said "you are going to be bald in the future, you know how i can tell? because the shape of ur hairline"
i was completely stunned baffled and shocked
in denial instantly
said to a colleague, "get a load of what this chich just said, she said i'm going bald because of my hairshape"
i was hoping for reassurance
but he said
"what, you mean the mickey mouse shape?"
my world was shattered
-
This is completely unsourced but I thought I read he was on dbol or at least tried it. Dbol would make sense for the time.
-
Fucking idiots will believe anything ::)
Bruce was usually 135lbs and by the time of Enter the Dragon he was down do about 128lbs
Bolo doing PEDs sure , Bruce? get the fuck out of here.

Where did you get this weight? I never heard of Bruce being that heavy or ever seen a pic
-
don't see why people are saying he only weighed xxx so couldn't have been juicing. steroids make you stronger as well as aiding mass gains. if you don't eat extra calories you will not gain extra mass taking steroids , your body composition will improve and you will get stronger, which is obviously a big advantage for anyone in any physical sport/profession at any size. there are plenty of little boxers and mma guys who have been caught juicing.

He was also a cardio junky.
-
he got his heaviest on a bulk cycle and was 165 oyster beef and root beer floats he was 114 in enter the dragon, and was trying to be 100 this is straight from his wife Linda
-

Yup. Those Asians are certainly taking over the Bodybuilding podiums.

This guy try every combo drugs imaginable as well as every diet and he never got above 160lbs
-
Dan was the man

Are there people really with that shit of genetics ? :D
-

(http://s2.hubimg.com/u/984737_f520.jpg)
i wonder, is he over rated by fma instructors around the world?
must be, they make it sound as if his skill transcends the limits of space
i have no doubt oleg could end his world in unarmed fist fight
-
his biggest fans will brag that he was 125 and not 114 either way, do you realize just how small that is? Oleg would kill him. NO joke.

i'm talking about dan inosanto actually, since you was talking about dan duchaine
prime inosanto vs prime bruce lee in bare hand fight to the death, who wins?
also, prime inosanto vs prime oleg (lol)
FIGHT TO THE DEEATH!!!! so inosanto can use hyper deadly mystical uma batlin from the jungles of indonesia and the deadly arts of the insane inhabitants of mindanao

Duchaine gets a bad wrap. They're hard to find, but he competed in mixed pairs in the early 80's, and looked good. He just wasn't going to be a big guy. The biggest he got was low 200's in his mid 40's. People love to post those pictures of him looking shitty, but they were early post jail/post stroke. That stroke screwed him up for years.
-
In Asian martial arts circles I was told that he was kill by Shaolin monks for showing Kung Fu to white people ?

I enjoyed reading his articles in the old muscle media 2000. MM2K was a great magazine in its prime-way ahead of its time. MD tries hard to imitate but they will never replicate.

Can someone let them know about Seagal?

I think he is Apache or something ?

Seagal thinks he is 500 people he is a living major identity crisis

seagal is one of the least likeable actors in the busiones

I would guess that he was on low doses of gear. His muscle density looks like it was hardened up by a little something.
Also I'm sure he experimenting with all kinds of exotic shit. He was from Hong Kong after all, where they eat tiger penis and baby brains for "more power".
-
I could see him using gear. He was a complete nuts case about fitness. He's dense and dry as fuck. Maybe he just popped some winny tabs or something.
-
I've juiced on and off for the last few years. I'm not that much heavier than I was before I started. My body comp is completely different though. And I have a a much different look.

Prime Dan Inosanto could definately defeat Prime Rodney Agatupu Anoaʻi

People who are nuts about fitness don't juice. Only those who will risk fitness to look good.

He was a professional actor and martial artist. I'm sure he wasn't afraid of taking a couple of pills. Some of his pictures the guy looks absolutely fucking perfect. He's a ball of muscle. You don't see to many Asians walking around like that!

i really want a serious answer to this absurd question .....
prime ronnie coleman VS dan inosanto at the age he was when coleman was in his prime....
with dan inosantos encycopedical knowledge of martial arts
can he survive prime ronnie coleman trying to kill him with his bare GH paws?
-
If Ronnie could take a hit, then he would kill little Dan. Too much size and strength at some point, wins the match for the bigger and stronger person.

i really like any interview i've seen or read of dan. the guy seems very sincere and modest
but his students, aka the kali and silat instructors...
they make him out to be some sort of untouchable god
wtf
they literally believe inosanto would mop the floor with prime hossein rezazadeh/saviccas/coleman
-
they do the same with Bruce. he is a god to them. all 114 pounds. funny thing is, when asked to his face, who would win, him or Ali. He said Ali has hands bigger than my entire head. He would kill me. At least he knew his limits.

u mean u asked dan or u asked bruce?
i thought that guy died like 60 years ago
-
not me I read it he was asked directly by the person asking him not some third or fourth hand question
dan knows about the article too and also discussed this with me at imb
-
my oldy days martial arts teacher claims he saw a video of dan inosanto being put down with some sort of no touch silat master
and he said "that's enough proof for me this stuff exists...dan would never fake it"
apparantly the silat guy or whatever just wiped his hand across dan's chest or whatever and he dropped like smashed potatoes
i said "well ok..."
weiiird ::)
-
dan was also a better fighter than bruce he had way better boxing etc he would always just lay down for bruce though and lose he thought he had to
-

i find dan inosanto a much more likeable persona
what about.....
his son in law, is that a legitimate tough guy? his affiliate instructors of course tell me he is super badass. they say when it comes to stick fighting he whoops the top dogbrothers instructors all day
possible who knows or cares tho
-
they love to stick fight with helmets gloves pads, etc but walking down the street with two sticks in this society is a no no
