Was Bruce Lee on steroids? Read this and give opinion...

[BB]

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.

[anabolichalo]

he looked way too thin to be suspiscious

no thickness whatsoever


very lean and conditioned tho

[arce1988]

  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?

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.

Why don't you go and read DA his last rites pen-ally.

[Figo]

Probably died from concussion/swelling/hemorrhage of brain

[a_ahmed]

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  

Looked his best in way of the dragon

[ukjeff]

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. 

[BigCyp]

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

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

[Teutonic Knight]

  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.

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!  

[gracie bjj]

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.

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

[Griffith]

Full grown men should not weigh 114 lbs imho.

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

[Archer77]

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.

[NarcissisticDeity]

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

[Conker]

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.
