Absolutely 
That is exactly what this picture illustrates Joy
I will bow out this conversation I dont know enough of chi gung in comparison with dynamic tension to commentâŚ
But I always thought Bruce Lee did Dynamic TensionâŚexercises similiar to Hung Gar iron wire set. Where he tighten his muscles or flex his muslces as we like to say in America!!!
I do know jun fan father was a wu family tai chi manâŚAn possibly Bruce Lee first martial arts was in fact Tai Chi chaun!

You are welcome to your perceptions. IMO he is showing of his lats-a not untypical
western bodybuilderâs pose with his own twist. Breathing is inescapable but not all forms of breathing is hei gung.

According to my own training/research anything you do that âchangesâ muscles and develops power is heigung, and that would include any and all weightlifing/bodybuilding.
This is not my own perception Joy. It is common knowledge (or it has been considered that by my own Sifu and his before him). Bruce was taught this pose and it was very common in the bodybuilding curcuits at the time. Itâs definitely not his invention with a little twist!! Just like his JKD really. It all existed before

Dynamic Tension is part of heigung my friend, just a modern term invented by a bloke called Atlas wasnât it?? In the 20âs? Copied much later by one of my favourite books ever in the eighties by Harry Wong!!! Classic stuff, but massively misunderstood imhhhho.

We are on different planets then on hei gung. BTW apparently Charles Atlas turned out to be
partly a fraud⌠claimed he didnât use weights when in fact he did. Ok- except for the misrepresentation.
