Physical feats

 

Lee's phenomenal fitness meant he was capable of performing many exceptional physical feats.^{[129][/sup][130][/sup][131][/sup][132][/sup] "A man able to perform super human feats that have yet to be equaled."[133][/sup] The following list includes some of the physical feats that are attributed to Bruce Lee.}

 

• Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.^[134][/sup]
• Lee could take in one arm a 75lb barbell from a standing position with the barbell held flush against his chest and slowly stick his arms out locking   them, holding the barbell there for 20 seconds.^[135][/sup]
• Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film for clear slow motion replay using the traditional 24 frames per second of that   era, so many scenes were shot in 32 frames per second for better clarity.^{[136][/sup][137][/sup][138][/sup]}
