Default Better start working harder fellas!!

These are interesting facts I found about Bruce Lee on Wikipedia. Some are unbelievable I think...like the 300lbs heavy bag one...read....

Physical feats

Lee's phenomenal fitness meant he was capable of performing many exceptional physical feats.[43][44][45][46] The following list are the physical feats that are documented and supported by reliable sources.
  • Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.[47]
  • Lee could spring a 235lb opponent 15 feet away with a 1 inch punch.[46]
  • Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film at 24fps, so many scenes were shot in 32fps to put Lee in slow motion. Normally martial arts films are sped up.[48][49][50]
  • In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.[51]
  • Lee could perform push ups using only his thumbs[39][46]
  • Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.[45]
  • Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.[39]
  • Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger[46][52][39][46]
  • Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.[53]
  • From a standing position, Lee could hold a 125lb barbell straight out. [45][39]
  • Lee could break wooden boards six inches thick.[54]
  • Lee performed a side kick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150-pound punching bag[45][55]
  • Lee could cause a 300-lb bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a sidekick.[46]
  • In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso perfectly horizontal midair. [56]
  • Lee could thrust his fingers through unopened steel cans of Coca-Cola, at a time before cans were made of the softer aluminum metal.[57]
  • Lee would use one finger to leave dramatic indentations on pine wood.[57]

I am calling BS on almost all of those. Also, Wikipedia is not a "factual" site.

I don't think that a 160lb person could make a 300lb heavy bag hit the ceiling with a side kick.

I dont know...I was watchin that series "the human weapon" and man some of the stuff is crazy. Might be able to generate enough force but it would have to be the exact circumstances I would guess.
