READ: Bruce Lee’s Never Before Revealed Letters to Himself About Authenticity, Personal Development, and the Measure of Success – Brain Pickings. Many Asian-Americans don’t have too many role models that look like themselves to look up to. One of those few would be the legendary Bruce Lee. Known for his martial arts, he was very much a philosophical person and wrote a ton. If not for him maybe I wouldn’t pursue physicality the way I have. When I was younger I found The Art of Expressing the Human Body and that guided much of my own fitness research.
WATCH:

WATCH: Max El-Hag is, in my opinion, one of the better thinkers in the Competitive Exercise space. He owns Training Think Tank, a name that should be familiar if you consistently read the blog, as he’s built a team of fantastic coaches as well as athletes over the years. Coach Dave was even under their programming for a long time.
Did you check those emails? We covered a handful of important items as we come back.
The equipment photos will continue until I have athletes in the gym.
I’m still looking for volunteers for some of these test classes! Comment below and I’ll get in contact with you.

READ: Opinion: America Is Too Broken to Fight the Coronavirus – NY Times
RESEARCH: What are you doing to prevent yourself from getting COVID-19? What precautions are you taking- think about the new habits you have, how you dress, how you socialize, and what you do when you go outside of your residence. Do you wear a mask to protect not only yourself, but others? Are you taking this seriously? What kind of methods do you use when washing your hands or using hand sanitizer? Do you know some of the complications that arise from those “who’ve recovered from Coronavirus”? The gym will open up soon- we’re going to do everything possible to keep everyone safe! Just remember your responsibility to do the same. Respect the rules we’ll have in place and we’ll get through pandemic together, stronger and healthier than we have before.
WATCH:
Keep your ear to the ground as we get ready to reopen for operation!
King County officially entered Phase 2 the past weekend, which allows us to run in a very-limited capacity. We plan to reopen for classes beginning in July. In the meantime we are available for 1-on-1 personal training.
AND I’m looking for athletes who are interested in being filmed for our WORKOUT PREP VIDEOS! Please comment below if you’re up for it, or feel free to email me direct.

RESEARCH: How many Black faces have you talked to since the protests began? How many people of color have you had meaningful conversations with?
If your circle doesn’t contain too many BIPOC, or if you have a hard time talking about racial injustice maybe check out Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. Featuring Emmanuel Acho, former NFL linebacker and current analyst for Fox Sports, he grew up in a family who was involved in African missionary work since he was a child and continues to this day.
