Water for Bodybuilding
So why is water so important?
For a few reasons really. The human body typically consists of between 60% and 75% water. In the body, water's responsibilities include removing waste material from the body and moving other nutrients around the body. It also keeps your body temperature correct, for example the loss of water from the body (sweating) is the bodies way of keeping you cool.
How much water do I need?
The average human adult needs AT LEAST 8 glasses of water per day, but a lot more water is recommended. There is no stereotype person. Some people will need less than 8 glasses, some will need more, but on average, you probably need more. If you were to join the army, you would learn that you can tell if you're drinking enough water by the color of your urine. If it's dark, then you need to increase your water consumption. If it's clear, then you're drinking plenty. Sorry for that, but it's pretty important. Especially to athletes and bodybuilders.
When should I drink?
All the time! Thirst is your bodies way of telling you that it needs rehydrating, but you should really not get to the stage when you are thirsty. Drink as often as you can. Also, if you do feel thirsty, drink lots - not just enough to wet the inside of your mouth. You should also drink water before, during and after exercise. You should start drinking more water about 2 hours before you exercise (bearing in mind that your body can only absorb 1 glass of water every 20 minutes) and keep drinking right up until you exercise. Whilst exercising, sip water every few minutes. I drink water between every set. DO NOT wait until the end of your exercise period and then gulp down lots of water as this is not good for you.
Do I HAVE to drink water?
I always do, and I recommend bodybuilders do because there is no extra nutritional content (like there is with carbonated beverages, cordial mix drinks and all other unnatural liquids). But the answer, actually, is no. You can drink those things if you want. Coffee is a good pre-workout drink, as is Lucozade (It's a UK Gatorade thing I think). I realise that some areas (like where I live) the tap water is pretty horrible. It tastes of chlorine because that's what they disinfect it with. I like to drink bottled water, but some people have water filters to filter out the horrible taste, and I think they work pretty well (e-mail me if you know please!)
Anyway. the bottom line is this: Drink plenty of water and you'll be fine.
Oh, and on a side note, the first woman to ever complete training for the Royal Marines Commando all arms course (an 8 week course, not the full 30 week one) has failed the final tests.

Wing Chun Forms
About the Wing Chun Forms
The martial art Wing Chun has just three hand forms, one form performed against a wooden dummy and two weapons forms. Compared to some other martial arts is very few. The forms in Wing Chun serve more as a reference for fighting rather than a set of moves which can be directly used in sequence in a real situation. So in Wing Chun once the forms have been learned, the techniques are known, but then they have to be understood and applied. That is the hard part.
The hand forms each train different aspects of the system. It is only when they are combined that they provide the effective martial art that is Wing Chun. Therefore it is hard to say which form is more useful than the others, because the Wing Chun forms are most useful when combined together. For example if Sil Lim Tao was to be abandoned the foundation for the system would be destroyed. The training of power and energy in the first section would be lost, along with the foundation of strikes and blocks. That is why Sil Lim Tao is learned first. However without Chum Kui the basic movement that is used to apply the techniques in Sil Lim Tao and the movement used to bridge the gap between oneself and ones opponent is lost. Without Biu Gee the system is not complete due to the lack of advanced movement, advanced hand techniques and so called emergency techniques for escaping the elbow being pined etc. In addition the dummy form of Wing Chun forces the student to practice their martial arts techniques in the correct position against a solid target.
Therefore it is only when the system is complete that it is most effective. Hence it cannot be said which form is more useful than the others for they are all essential in creating true ability. So how does the system work?
As expressed earlier the Wing Chun system starts with Sil Lim Tau which trains the power in the legs through the stance and it trains correct use of power and energy of hand techniques in the first section of the form. On top of this it provides the Wing Chun practitioner with a useful arsenal of blocks and strikes. This therefore provides the foundation for the Wing Chun practitioner.
Chum Kui then introduces kicks and movement into the system and also show how to use both the feet in footwork and kicks at the same time as the hands in the form of blocks and strikes not forgetting that Chum Kui also trains the use of power from the hips. It also trains the practitioners body positioning and foot positioning which with turning enables the practitioner to deal with threats from multiple directions, enabling quick efficient turning. This therefore builds on what Sil Lim Tao has provided.
Bui Gee, and to a large extent the Mook Jong Dummy form both build on the Chum Kiu stepping by introducing circle stepping which is most effective when combined with Chum Kiu straight stepping or Biu Ma. Biu Gee also brings in the training of perfect use of last minute power, enabling the practitioner to use all their techniques to maximum efficiency. Other techniques such as Kop Jarn enable the practitioner to block when trapped or strike at extremely close distances, this combined with other 'emergency techniques' like the Biu Gee from under the elbow enable the practitioner to recover from bad situations, and also the recover at the end of the form which allows for recovery from a fall . Hence Biu Gee completes the system.
However let us not forget the Dummy form which is extremely useful for applying the system in all aspects. It also contains a few additional techniques like the neck pull and some additional kicks. The system, as can now hopefully be seen builds from one stage to another. And once fully learnt and most importantly once fully understood, the forms can be used and applied together in a fighting situation. With the use of Chi Sau training this will hopefully, come instinctively to the practitioner as he/she becomes as one with their martial art.Montag, 25. Mai 2015
The death of Bruce Lee
On the 10th of May 1973 Bruce Lee was working at the Golden Harvest studio’s on the Hammer Hill Road. He was there to synchronize his new film “Enter the Dragon”.
That day was very warm. The ventilators in the studio were switched off because of the noise it would cause whilst filming. During the break, Bruce went to the toilet. After 20 minutes of not returning, a colleague went to check up on him. He found Bruce kneeling on the floor. He said that he had dropped his contact lenses and was looking for them.
Back in the studio Bruce collapsed and was sick. His body began to shiver substantially. Straight away, a colleague ran to Raymond Chow’s office and explained what has happened. In stead of ringing 911, he rang his own GP Doctor Langford from the Baptist Hospital. He told Raymond to get him to the hospital immediately.
Two of Bruce’s colleagues took him to the hospital. He had a high fever, was unconscious and responded to nothing. His breathing was heavy and he had problems with convulsions, explained Doctor Don Langford.
Dr. Langford got three doctors to come, one of which was neurologist Dr. Wu to check over Bruce because of the convulsions. During the check up they found a large swelling in Bruce’s brain. They gave Bruce Mannitol to decrease the swelling.
They also removed a small amount of hashish from his stomach. Straight after the incident at the studio Linda was informed. With haste she drove straight to the hospital. After an hour and a half Bruce came by and when he awoke Linda was at his side. His eyes rolled and he managed to speak but it was gibberish.
The next day Dr. Langford asked Bruce if he’s on drugs. He admitted to using hashish from Nepal. He also told Dr. Langford that he had chewed hashish the day before and afterwards fell unconscious. Doctor Langford warned Bruce about the danger of drugs from Katmandu (Nepal). He explained that they are very dangerous as the drug is pure. He went on to warn Bruce that if he continues to these drugs it would probably cost him his life.
Bruce ignored this advice because two weeks later on the 25th of May he travelled to the USA to get examined by Doctor Karpland. Bruce weighed 57kg, but still Doctor Karpland believed that he was in perfect health.
He referred him to neurologist Doctor Reisbord. His examination results concluded that Bruce was suffering from convulsions but the cause of this is unknown. He prescribed Bruce Dilantin. Dr. Reisbord’s final conclusion was that he also found Bruce to be in good health.
Friday the 20th of July Linda Lee went out for lunch with a close friend. Bruce had told her that he had an appointment at home with Raymond Chow at 14:00 hrs. They were going to work on the scripts of the film “Game of Death”.
That same evening he was not planning on coming home as he and Raymond were to meet up with George Lazenby in the Miramar Hotel.
They both worked through until 16:00 hrs and left his home. Linda came home roughly the same time. They had just missed each other by seconds. Bruce and Raymond drove to Betty Ting Pei’s apartment to ask her to play a part in the film “Game of Death”.
At 19:30 hrs that evening Bruce complained of having a headache. Betty gave him one of her own pain killers (Equagesic), that she had been prescribed from her doctor. Bruce went to lie down for a while on her bed. About 10 minutes later Raymond Chow left the apartment for their meeting with George Lazenby in the Miramar Hotel. At 21:00 hrs Raymond rang Betty to find out where they were and ask why they were not at the meeting.
Betty explained that she has tried to wake Bruce up at least two times but he hasn’t responded. Raymond told Betty that he would come to her apartment and half an hour later he arrived. It looked like Bruce was sleeping peacefully and Raymond couldn’t wake Bruce up either.
Being concerned Raymond decided to ring Betty Ting Pei’s doctor up, Dr. Eugene Chu. The telephone was constantly engaged but finally he got through to Dr. Chu. He immediately came to Betty’s apartment but after 10 minutes he still couldn’t wake Bruce up.
He called for an ambulance and Bruce was taken to the Queen Elizabeth’s hospital with howling sirens. At 22:00 hrs Raymond rang up Linda and told her that she has to come immediately to the Queen Elizabeth’s hospital. A quarter of an hour later the ambulance arrived where a team of doctors were waiting to help Bruce. The doctors tried everything but they all agreed that they could unfortunately not save Bruce’s life.
At 23:00 hrs Raymond Chow told the shocking news to the press.

At 23:00 hrs Raymond Chow told the shocking news to the press.
 Mourning was held for Bruce’s friends and fans on the 25th of July. There attended more than 25.000 people.      After the mourning Bruce was flown to America.  Just before the plane left Kai Tak Airport Linda told the following to the press. "However the investigation is not yet closed to the death of my husband, I wish the press and the people of Hong Kong would stop speculating over the cause of death of my husband. I haven’t any suspicions than that Bruce has died naturally. I don’t blame myself or anybody else for that matter for his death. Our destination is unpredictable. The only irrelevant thing here is that Bruce has died and he will never return. He lives on in our memories and through his films. Please remember Bruce because of his talent, his art and the magic he gave us all. For those of you who knew him better, his words and thoughts will always be with us and will have influence on us for the rest of our lives. I know, that the people of Hong Kong loved Bruce and are very proud of him because of what he has achieved, he had managed to get worldwide attention for Hong Kong. That’s why I’m begging you to please leave him to rest in peace and do not disturb his soul. These are my personal feelings and wishes and that of my closest friends. I would appreciate it if you would listen to me and respect our wishes". On the 30th of July after a small second mourning in Butterworth funeral parlour in Seattle, Washington it is Taky Kimura, Danny Inosanto, Peter Chin, Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Robert Lee who bring Bruce to his last place of resting.   The utopist began the investigation into the cause of Bruce Lee’s death on the 3rd of September. They found a small quantity of cannabis in his stomach. On the 17th of September Linda confirmed that Bruce took cannabis now and again but Bruce didn’t show any signs of having side effects. The utopist gave his final verdict of the investigation on the 24th of September. Bruce Lee’s death was a coincidence of unfortunate circumstances. 1. Most probably was Bruce hyper sensitive to the ingredients Equagesic, Doloxene and Dilantin that are found in the pain killers. He used the medicine Doloxene after he had back injury during his training in 1970. 2. Bruce had an extremely low level of body fat, just 1%! 3. In spite of his high intense training and always under high pressure Bruce wanted to do everything himself. He was a perfectionist, actor, director, script author and choreographer all at the same time. 4. Bruce’s drastic weight loss of 70 kilo’s to 60 kilo’s. 5. The people who had seen Bruce in the last weeks of his life confirmed that he looked unhealthy. He was terribly thin, looked confused, was forgetful, had rage attacks, was paranoid and was very depressed. |
Rest in Peace.  |
Bruce Lee Quotes with German translation
“A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, “I” do not hit, “it” hits all by itself.”“Ein guter Kämpfer ist nie angespannt, nur bereit dazu. Nicht denkend, dennoch nicht träumend. Bereit für alles was seinen Weg kommt. Wenn der Gegner sich ausweitet, ziehe ich mich zusammen; wenn er sich zusammenzieht, weite ich mich aus. Und wenn sich eine Möglichkeit auftut, schlage nicht ‘Ich’, der Schlag kommt von ganz von selbst.”
“Don’t think, feel….it is like a finger pointing a way to the moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory!”“Nicht denken, fühlen sollst Du. Es ist genau so wie bei einem Finger, der in Richtung auf den Mond zeigt. Du darfst Dich nicht nur auf den Finger konzentrieren, denn sonst siehst Du ja nichts von der himmlischen Pracht.”
“Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.”“Nimm die Dinge, wie sie sind: Schlage, wenn du schlagen musst. Tritt, wenn du treten musst.”
“Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.”“Angabe und Aufschneiderei ist die Vorstellung des Narren von Ruhm.”
“If you make an ass out of yourself, there will always be someone to ride you.”“Wenn du dich selbst zum Esel machst, dann ist immer jemand bereit, auf dir herumzureiten.”
“I believe in sleeping. (When asked by his brother Robert if he believed in God)”“Ich glaube an den Schlaf. (Als ihn sein Bruder fragte, ob er and Gott glaube)”
“There is no such thing as maturity. There is instead an ever-evolving process of maturing. Because when there is a maturity, there is a conclusion and a cessation. That’s the end. That’s when the coffin is closed. You might be deteriorating physically in the long process of aging, but your personal process of daily discovery is ongoing. You continue to learn more and more about yourself every day.”“Es gibt kein ‘Reifes Alter’ in dem Sinne. Es gibt nur einen immer andauernden Prozess vom ‘Reifen’, vom ‘Altern’. Falls es sowas wie ein ‘Reifes Alter’ geben würde, dann wären wir am Ende, es wäre Stillstand. Das ist das gleiche als wenn der Sarg sich schließen würde. Vielleicht altert man äußerlich, also körperlich, aber der menschliche Lernprozess geht weiter. Jeden Tag.”
“Have no rigid system in you, and you’ll be flexible to change with the ever changing.”“Folge keinem starren, festen System und du wirst dich immer leicht anpassen können”
“The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a pattern of systems.”“Das Leben ist dazu da, um gelebt zu werden und nicht um ‘begriffen’ zu werden, oder in sich vorgegebenen Mustern zu fügen”
“No way as a way, no limitations as a limitation.”“Kein Weg als Weg, Keine Grenze als Grenze.”
“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successfull personality and duplicate it.”“Sei du selbst, bring dich selbst zum Ausdruck, habe Vertrauen zu dir selbst. Ziehe nicht los und suche nach einer erfolgreichen Persönlichkeit, um ihr nachzueifern.”
“A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.”“Ein Ziel ist nicht immer zum Erreichen da, oft dient es nur zum richtigen Zielen.”
“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”“Ich habe keine Angst vor dem, der einmal 10.000 Kicks geübt hat, aber vor dem, der einen Kick 10.000 mal geübt hat.”
“Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.”“Nimm die Dinge, wie sie sind: Schlage, wenn du schlagen musst. Tritt, wenn du treten musst.”
“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.”“Wissen gibt Ihnen Macht aber der Charakter verschafft Ihnen Respekt und Anerkennung.”
“Instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, ACTUALIZE YOURSELF.”“Anstatt dein Leben dafür hinzugeben um ein vorgegebenes Konzept von dir zu realisieren, REALISIERE DICH SELBER.”
“Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain.”“Vergiss alles über gewinnen und verlieren; vergiss alles über Stolz und Schmerz.”
“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”“Ein weiser Mann kann mehr von einer närrischen Frage lernen, als ein Narr von einer weisen Antwort.”
“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”“Leere deinen Geist. Werde formlos, gestaltlos – wie Wasser. Wenn man Wasser in eine Tasse gießt, wird es zur Tasse. Gießt man Wasser in eine Teekanne, wird es zur Teekanne. Wasser kann fließen und schmettern. Sei Wasser, mein Freund.”
