Se em 1628 os Portuenses foram os primeiros a revoltar-se contra o domínio dos Filipes, está na hora de nos levantarmos de novo, agora contra a corrupçao, o centralismo e colonialismo lisboeta!
________________________________________ THE POWER OF THE DRAGON Develop Strength Bruce Lee’s Way. By: Justin Frost and Ted Wong.
Bruce Lee E-Paper – I Published by – The Wrong Brothers Click Here to Visit our Home page Email – wrongbrothers@yahoo.com ________________________________________ Did Bruce Lee take his training seriously? "While Bruce was in Hong Kong filming in late 1971 or early 1972, he had his weight equipment and training gear shipped to him," says Ted Wong, who met Lee in 1967 and trained with him for more than six years. "He wanted to stay in shape. So we packed his bags, but we did not send any clothes because he said he could buy them cheap in Hong Kong. We just packed training equipment. When he saw all the bags filled with training equipment, he laughed and said, ‘Now I’m going to be able to do lots of training.’" And train he did. "Bruce considered training number one," says Wong. "He was constantly training. When he watched TV or went to the movies, he conditioned his knuckles. When he was driving, he worked the hand grips. If he walked to a bookstore and came to a hill, he always ran. He never wasted time." Why was this man so obsessed with training? Several reasons. First, according to Lee, training was important because you couldn’t perform up to your capabilities if you weren’t in shape, Wong recalls. "Lee felt you had no business being in the martial arts if you weren’t in shape," says Wong. "If you weren’t in shape you couldn’t be 100 percent efficient." Second, he had lofty goals. "He wanted to be the best," says Wong. "He wanted to be the best martial artist." And no one could dispute that he was. Lee’s Thoughts on Strength To get in excellent shape, Lee felt you needed strength, Wong notes. "He considered strength training very important," Wong says. "He was constantly looking for ways to improve, including weight training and isometrics." Although Lee felt strength was important, he did not believe bodybuilding was the answer, Wong says. "He felt it was important to have definition, but he did not feel you had to overboard," Wong says. "He did not feel it was necessary to develop large muscles. On the other hand, strength and definition enhanced certain functions, such as kicking and punching." And Lee’s conditioning entailed more than hand grips, sit-ups, weights, running and conditioning drills. "A lot of the time he read books and analyzed different arts," Wong says. "He had a keen eye and an analytical mind. He did a lot of researching." While you may never develop Lee’s skills, you can certainly train the way the "Little Dragon" did. Following are a few of the exercises Lee used to develop power. ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Lee’s Strength Routine
Barbell Push
This exercise strengthens your arms, forearms, shoulders, biceps, lats, triceps, chest and abs. "This exercise works almost your whole body," Wong says. "It’s really good; it’s effective. But it is also very difficult. Although Bruce lifted a lot of weight, most people can’t. I remember trying to lift what he used, and I couldn’t even hold it." To begin, stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Squat, grab the barbell with an underhand grip and stand up. Keeping your elbows by your side, raise the weight straight out, hold for a second, return and repeat. Do three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. When you’re done, do three sets of 8 to 12 reps with an overhand grip.
Punching With a Dumbbell
This exercise improves your shoulder endurance, which is vital for sparring. "Bruce did this drill a lot." Wong says. Hold a five-pound dumbbell in each hand, assume a fighting stance and alternate throwing punches with each hand. "Do these moderately fast," Wong says. To prevent an injury, however, don’t throw your punches too fast. Do two to three sets, 10 to 15 reps per set.
One-Hand Dumbbell Drill This drill strengthens your wrist, which means your punches will be stronger. Lee used this exercise to enhance his one-inch punch, Wong notes. "When your wrist is strong, you get more power," he says. "And it’s good when you’re in close range because there isn’t much room for your wrist to travel. This is a good drill for the one-inch punch." To begin, stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, and hold a five-pound dumbbell in your right hand. Keeping your arm to your side and using only your wrist, raise the dumbbell as high as you can and lower it as far as you can. Do two sets of 25 reps. When you’re done, do two sets of 25 reps, moving your wrist from side to side as far as you can.
Isometrics
"This is isometric training for power punching," Wong says. "It was one of Lee’s favorite drills because it built speed and punching power at different ranges." To do this, you can use a jump rope, a karate belt or a strand of rope. To begin, assume a fighting stance and hold the rope in both hands. Place your left hand behind your back, wrap the other end around your shoulder and throw a short-range punch. Hold it for five seconds, extend your punch to ¾ distance, hold it for five seconds, extend it to full range and hold. For each arm, do five sets of five reps.
Board Isometrics This drill is for leg strength and mobility. "This exercise really puts pressure on your knees," he says. "It’s intense." To do this drill, you’ll need a four-foot long board with a shoulder harness strapped in the middle. To begin, assume a fighting stance on the board and place the harness around your neck. Exerting a constant upward pressure, lean forward and then lean back. "This drill enables you to develop explosive power and to close the gap [more efficiently]," He says. Do three sets of one minute. As you improve, increase your time.
Hand Isometric Drills This drill strengthens your forearms, which is great for trapping and punching. You will need the board for this exercise also. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, wrap the straps around your forearms and exert pressure upward. Do three sets of one minute. Don’t rest more than one minute between sets.
Bull Worker for Punching
This drill also strengthens your punching power. To do this drill, you’ll need a Bull Worker, which you may be able to find at a sporting goods store. Assume a fighting stance, hold the bow straps in each hand, and throw as many punches as you can, as fast as you can. "Do these real fast, and do as many as you can," Wong says. Do two to three sets. You can throw backfists or straight punches. This device also enables you to adjust the tension.
Bull Worker for Trapping
Again, you will also need the Bull Worker for this drill, which strengthens your forearms for trapping, grabbing and hitting. Assume a fighting stance, place one end of the Bull Worker against your abs, and hold the other end at about head-height. As quickly as possible, pull the top part toward your abs, return and repeat. ________________________________________ ________________________________________ What Made Bruce Great? So what made Bruce Lee as great as he was? Strength training? Genetics? Intensity? "I think there are a lot of factors, but I think it was his drive," Wong says. "For example, he always told me you had to put 100 % effort into everything you did. He said, ‘When you throw a punch, put everything into it. Don’t just go through the motions.’ To this day I remember that, and it’s very important to me." ________________________________________

PostPosted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:16 am Reply with quoteBack to top This thread will get lock just like the other one, because the date you have is just pure speculation. Even tho PS Gamer said the conf. is during 12th - 18th, no official word has been released from Sony so this is still not offial(not to say PS Gamer doesn't know what he is talking about).

I'm surprised microosoft has not caught up with sony's strategy which is the same as with the ps2

Develop Strength Bruce Lee’s Way.

________________________________________
Did Bruce Lee take his training seriously?
"While Bruce was in Hong Kong filming in late 1971 or early 1972, he had his weight equipment and training gear shipped to him," says Ted Wong, who met Lee in 1967 and trained with him for more than six years. "He wanted to stay in shape. So we packed his bags, but we did not send any clothes because he said he could buy them cheap in Hong Kong. We just packed training equipment. When he saw all the bags filled with training equipment, he laughed and said, ‘Now I’m going to be able to do lots of training.’"
And train he did.
"Bruce considered training number one," says Wong. "He was constantly training. When he watched TV or went to the movies, he conditioned his knuckles. When he was driving, he worked the hand grips. If he walked to a bookstore and came to a hill, he always ran. He never wasted time."
Why was this man so obsessed with training? Several reasons.
First, according to Lee, training was important because you couldn’t perform up to your capabilities if you weren’t in shape, Wong recalls.
"Lee felt you had no business being in the martial arts if you weren’t in shape," says Wong. "If you weren’t in shape you couldn’t be 100 percent efficient."
Second, he had lofty goals.
"He wanted to be the best," says Wong. "He wanted to be the best martial artist."
And no one could dispute that he was.
Lee’s Thoughts on Strength
To get in excellent shape, Lee felt you needed strength, Wong notes.
"He considered strength training very important," Wong says. "He was constantly looking for ways to improve, including weight training and isometrics."
Although Lee felt strength was important, he did not believe bodybuilding was the answer, Wong says.
"He felt it was important to have definition, but he did not feel you had to overboard," Wong says. "He did not feel it was necessary to develop large muscles. On the other hand, strength and definition enhanced certain functions, such as kicking and punching."
And Lee’s conditioning entailed more than hand grips, sit-ups, weights, running and conditioning drills.
"A lot of the time he read books and analyzed different arts," Wong says. "He had a keen eye and an analytical mind. He did a lot of researching."
While you may never develop Lee’s skills, you can certainly train the way the "Little Dragon" did. Following are a few of the exercises Lee used to develop power.
________________________________________
________________________________________
Lee’s Strength Routine
Barbell Push
This exercise strengthens your arms, forearms, shoulders, biceps, lats, triceps, chest and abs.
"This exercise works almost your whole body," Wong says. "It’s really good; it’s effective. But it is also very difficult. Although Bruce lifted a lot of weight, most people can’t. I remember trying to lift what he used, and I couldn’t even hold it."
To begin, stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Squat, grab the barbell with an underhand grip and stand up. Keeping your elbows by your side, raise the weight straight out, hold for a second, return and repeat.
Do three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. When you’re done, do three sets of 8 to 12 reps with an overhand grip.
Punching With a Dumbbell
This exercise improves your shoulder endurance, which is vital for sparring.
"Bruce did this drill a lot." Wong says.
Hold a five-pound dumbbell in each hand, assume a fighting stance and alternate throwing punches with each hand.
"Do these moderately fast," Wong says.
To prevent an injury, however, don’t throw your punches too fast. Do two to three sets, 10 to 15 reps per set.
One-Hand Dumbbell Drill
This drill strengthens your wrist, which means your punches will be stronger. Lee used this exercise to enhance his one-inch punch, Wong notes.
"When your wrist is strong, you get more power," he says. "And it’s good when you’re in close range because there isn’t much room for your wrist to travel. This is a good drill for the one-inch punch."
To begin, stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, and hold a five-pound dumbbell in your right hand. Keeping your arm to your side and using only your wrist, raise the dumbbell as high as you can and lower it as far as you can.
Do two sets of 25 reps. When you’re done, do two sets of 25 reps, moving your wrist from side to side as far as you can.
Isometrics
"This is isometric training for power punching," Wong says. "It was one of Lee’s favorite drills because it built speed and punching power at different ranges."
To do this, you can use a jump rope, a karate belt or a strand of rope.
To begin, assume a fighting stance and hold the rope in both hands. Place your left hand behind your back, wrap the other end around your shoulder and throw a short-range punch. Hold it for five seconds, extend your punch to ¾ distance, hold it for five seconds, extend it to full range and hold.
For each arm, do five sets of five reps.
Board Isometrics
This drill is for leg strength and mobility.
"This exercise really puts pressure on your knees," he says. "It’s intense."
To do this drill, you’ll need a four-foot long board with a shoulder harness strapped in the middle.
To begin, assume a fighting stance on the board and place the harness around your neck. Exerting a constant upward pressure, lean forward and then lean back.
"This drill enables you to develop explosive power and to close the gap [more efficiently]," He says.
Do three sets of one minute. As you improve, increase your time.
Hand Isometric Drills
This drill strengthens your forearms, which is great for trapping and punching.
You will need the board for this exercise also. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, wrap the straps around your forearms and exert pressure upward.
Do three sets of one minute. Don’t rest more than one minute between sets.
Bull Worker for Punching
This drill also strengthens your punching power.
To do this drill, you’ll need a Bull Worker, which you may be able to find at a sporting goods store.
Assume a fighting stance, hold the bow straps in each hand, and throw as many punches as you can, as fast as you can.
"Do these real fast, and do as many as you can," Wong says.
Do two to three sets. You can throw backfists or straight punches. This device also enables you to adjust the tension.
Bull Worker for Trapping
Again, you will also need the Bull Worker for this drill, which strengthens your forearms for trapping, grabbing and hitting.
Assume a fighting stance, place one end of the Bull Worker against your abs, and hold the other end at about head-height. As quickly as possible, pull the top part toward your abs, return and repeat.

What Made Bruce Great?
So what made Bruce Lee as great as he was?
Strength training? Genetics? Intensity?
"I think there are a lot of factors, but I think it was his drive," Wong says. "For example, he always told me you had to put 100 % effort into everything you did. He said, ‘When you throw a punch, put everything into it. Don’t just go through the motions.’ To this day I remember that, and it’s very important to me."

wasnt the CES thread made when we had a proper release date?
it was posted in another thread that the conference will be between 12-18th (confirmed by PS Gamer - insider?) so perhaps its not too early to make a thread Wink

This thread will get lock just like the other one, because the date you have is just pure speculation. Even tho PS Gamer said the conf. is during 12th - 18th, no official word has been released from Sony so this is still not offial(not to say PS Gamer doesn't know what he is talking about).

the link says the ps2 lauch date was announced at the 2000 conf.
Quote:
The company scored an early public relations win, beating out the launch of Windows 2000 on the early evening news shows across Japan's five major commercial TV networks. But its PlayStation.com Web site was unable to handle demand from users for advance orders.

please realize, there were about 80 pages of pure NOTHING before CES even started, so please don't repeat that. If you really feel like doing this, please wait until Feb. 1st or whenever Sony officialy announces it

I don't think we'll be seeing much.
After all the earlier speculation about playable games at TGS, big announcements at CES and all the other bull I'm beginning to think rumours about PS3 not even being closed to finish just might be true.
Let's hope I'm wrong and we'll hear everything we need to hear at the PlayStation meeting on the 5th of February.

what is interesting is the fact that sony did the same thing with the ps2, people
were going to buy the dreamcast and thought that sony flopped and were behind.
but at the festival they showed the ps2 final with the box and menu (look at first
post), they had playable games, products and everything all at once!
I'm surprised microosoft has not caught up with sony's strategy which is the same as
with the ps2

Why start a countdown base on speculation, when we don't know know the exact date for Playstation Festival.
