Bruce Lee Abs Workout to Build Six Pack

    bruce lee abs workout

    There is no question that Bruce Lee has been the fittest and most ripped movie star ever. Also, he is an icon in martial arts. Almost all his body parts were perfect but his abs were the best. He had an extremely great looking midsection that was hard as stone. His abs were defined and looked like a washboard.

    Fighters know that one of the most important body parts are the core muscles. The reason is simple. These muscles are engaged in almost every move they make from kicking to protection. Martial artists spend a lot of time with strengthening their abs because they knew it is a kind of shield that protects their organs from serious punches and kicks.

    He was especially good at core training. He was always searching for new types of exercises in order to maximize the strength of his abdominal muscles. There are many advanced exercises linking to his name. Maybe, the most famous one is the Dragon flag.

    To tell the truth, he is one of my icons. I love not only his movies but also his motivation quotations that always give me a power to go on.

    If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

    You will see that he mainly did bodyweight core exercises such as various advanced hanging leg raises, sit-ups, and twists. On the other hand, he sometimes used equipment for example dumbbells. Most of the Bruce Lee ab exercises can be done at home.

    I think, his three most beneficial exercises are the dragon flag, the side bend with a dumbbell and the frog kicks. I usually include these moves in my core workout routine, and they are great.

    What about reps and sets? Bruce Lee ab workouts were surely a killer ones. He did a lot of repetitions over 40-50, and the number of sets was at least 4 for each exercise. He did about 4-6 types of abdominal exercises for each workout. Each of his strength training developed all parts of the core.

    If you are a beginner, his workout routine is not for you because of the high number of reps, sets and the tough exercises that are hard to be performed correctly. Once, you develop some basic core strength you can integrate a few of his easier moves into your workouts.
