You dont seem to see it at all these days. I was just quoting the title of that YouTube video about his shorter leg. The good morning exercise is something the estate has used as the cause for his back pain, yet a guy like Bleecker said it was from sex with Linda, so who knows? I hurt my back doing overhead presses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part 2 of the video series claiming Bruce Lee's back pain was caused by his shorter right leg and rotational imbalance of his pelvic bones.

But the good morning exercise, has a reputation for hurtng backs. Cant comment on Bleeker statement, but it like any physical actvity, there's risk of injury, so maybe he's right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Unsettled Marters: Meanwhile, in March of 1969 Bruce was admitted to St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica where surgeons removed the undeveloped testicle that had remained undescended since birth and repaired a hernia. A year after Bruces surgery to correct his cryptorchidism, and in a somewhat camouflaged but related matter, his overly publicized back ailment occurred. According to Dr. Lionel Walpin, who examined Lee in September 1970, Bruces back spasm was triggered during an episode of sexual intercourse in June 1970. After giving Bruce a complete physical examination and ordering a set of spinal X-rays, Dr. Walpin concluded that there was little wrong with him. After a brief period, and with the help of a Jacuzzi, Bruce straightened out and returned to his usual workouts and running.Besides Dr. Walpin, Bruce was referred to Dr. Herbert Tanney by director Blake Edwards, who is best known for his string of Pink Panther movies and his marriage to actress/singer Julie Andrews. The result of Bruces meeting with Dr. Tanney was a general work-up, lab tests and spinal X-rays. Although nothing was seriously the matter with Bruce, Tanney, as he had been doing for a substantial time with Edwards, began injecting cortisone into Bruces spine. Apparently it didnt completely remedy the problem, whatever the problem was, and in December 1970 Tanney referred Bruce to Dr. Ellis Silberman in Century City for another extensive series of X-rays. Silbermans summary: Examination of the lumbosacral spine and pelvis was within normal limits. Bruce wasnt satisfied, and he continued to return to Tanneys office on a semi-regular basis for cortisone (depo-Medrol) injections. Most noteworthy is the warning that is clearly displayed on the side of every bottle of depo-Medrol, as well as being written in the Physicians Desk Reference: Therapy with depo-Medrol does not [prevent] the need for the conventional measures usually employed. Although this method of treatment will [improve] symptoms, it is in no sense a cure and the hormone has no effect on the cause of the inflammation. In simple lay terms this is a warning to the user that the habitual use of cortisone is akin to painting over rust. There were other warnings listed by the drug manufacturer that are equally troublesome: Psychic derangements may appear when cortisone is used, ranging from euphoria, insomnia, mood swings, personality changes, and severe depression to frank psychotic manifestations."There would be more referrals. In March 1971, Bruce was again sent to specialist Dr. Lionel Walpin. Again, Walpins impression was that no specific diagnosis was suspected. In addition, more X-rays were taken by Dr. David Eisenstein, whose general conclusion was that Bruce had a normal thoracic spine. Generally speaking, what Bruce had was tantamount to a large gnat buzzing around his face; a nuisance more than anything, and one that might continue to bother him periodically, as long as he persisted in his rigorous exercise and martial arts training regimens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. @DragonClaws, you need to be a little more respectful to your forum peers. Just because you're officially in the film industry doesn't give you the right to talk that way. Besides, I suffer from trademark hunger when I haven't eaten for 3 days. We all have our trademarks. Hope you learned something today.

First, nobody knows if it was hot or not there, the only person alive is Stone and he ain't talking, and second, it was Bruce's trademark because he was the only person in the history of the world with perpetually sweaty armpits.
