19. Electric Muscle Stimulators: The Devil Is in the Detail

I used to be obsessed with martial arts superstar Bruce Lee. I watched all his movies, read his books, and studied his moves (quite ineffectually). Aside from his martial arts skills and philosophies, it was Lee’s physique that distinguished him from other action heroes of the time. Standing five feet seven inches (172 cm) tall, his compact, muscular frame was perfectly suited to his explosive style of combat. And when Lee punched and kicked through his enemies with unmatched speed and dexterity, his every muscle and sinew leapt off the screen. It was quite a statement, therefore, when Lee was pictured in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (played by Jason Scott Lee, no relation) using an electric stimulator to train his muscles.
