"Bruce Lee - Is this true"

This martial artist legend is just bad ass period. The other day i heard that if you train under water your muscles will become more compact and this is the same method bruce lee used. Is this true or is it just rubbish.

We're not saying things become wieghtless, the mass remains the same, and the weight is reduced.
And an average person doesnt have the strength to swim with concrete shoes, even if they are in water.

Please, stop making your self look dumb. Go to school.

Also things such as surface coverage would have an impact.

Think about dropping a piece of paper into a swimming pool and then dropping a pea that weighs the same as the paper.

It's likely that the paper will float and the pea will slowly sink.

And now I'm off to bed, so, toodles.

Not come across this.
Anysway, Bruce Lee told us to BE the water...

Never heard Bruce Lee did that before. I think it's rubbish.

Thanks for agreeing! You can lift alot of heavy things under water that you wouldnt be able to budge on land, its a bit like space where there is no gravity, astronauts can lift things that weigh tonnes but to them its as light as a feather!

People are very different from weights, weights for example metal ones would retain a lot of their weight underwater, due to their density. People on the other hand are mostly water themselves and contain air so it has a different effect.

Why are you laughing, he's right....
You've never lifted someone up under water?? its easier because the water underneath disperces the weight..

Look on google, if you still want to laugh.
