The Road Never Ends....

By -


I suppose all good things must come to an end. Our brother James, who has been the founder and torch bearer, has more important things to attend to in life and he has to move forward on his own journey. Let's hope he can come back on occasion with some interesting posts or comments to share, imparting his knowledge and wisdom from just living life.


I've been recruited to sort of be the torch bearer (thanks for the kind words, Jaehwan and King!) but I have some reluctance to try and carry on in James' foot steps. I can't say I'd be much of a prolific blogger since my more prominent passions, time, and effort lie elsewhere in other pursuits. Honestly, I don't know how some of you bloggers out there can manage to keep posting worthy material for discussion and what not. Yet, I sort of hate to see this site slip away into the ether. It would be nice, though, if the burden to post fresh things did not rest with one person and if we can get other posts from the other contributors, that would help.



AWAKENING


I'll try and post some things I find interesting. We need to keep stoking the flames of self-transformation, of sharing knowledge and wisdom, and highlighting the good work being done by Asian American males who have the Alpha qualities. We should be feeling good about seeing the accomplishments of such AA males and use them as inspiration to improve ourselves and live our lives the best that we can.


Above all, as James' intent has been all along, we need to focus on the positives. We all know about the other social dynamics that exist and in the spirit of James' focus, we should minimize the angst and sturm and drang those dynamics can resurrect.

Yes Mojo, I agree with B: you're an awesome torch bearer. You've captured the Alpha Asian blog philosophy perfectly in this post.

It can be difficult to keep blogging when inspiration does not come, so don't force it. It is tough to blog by yourself, so if you're looking to add anybody else as co-blogger, then let me know and we'll add him or her on.

Thanks for the kind words, James. I've had an idea in mind for the last few weeks for a new post; hopefully I can crank it out soon. But it's true about inspiration and forcing things. So, we shall see.

And anyone else reading this blog, please check in shortly.

Interview with Rick Lee

Q: I'm an avid follower of your site and had a question, since I believe you are the most recent one to have done an interview /been in contact with Rick Lee. I was wondering: is he still actively keeping up with his website?  Also I was wondering if you ever heard of the podcast DVDASA hosted by David Choe ? I'm sure you know of him or can easily find out who he is, but I wanted to know how I can contact him. I think he'd make a great guest on the show especially, because of his Asian-Man website. I believe he was the first Asian male porn star. David Choe talks about it sometimes, but he mentions Keni Styles as the first, but Rick is.  I'd love for him to be able to get on the show, set the record straight and help continue changing perceptions of Asian males.  Sorry if this is sort of random. Anyways hope to hear from you soon Thanks! -J My Answer: Are you trying to contact David Choe or are you trying to contact Rick Lee or both?  I'm s

Muscle Building Diet for the Asian Male

As a strength trainer with an Asian American background, I often get questions and comments from Asian dudes all over the world. A common theme that pops up among Asian lifters is the belief that their Asian genes are limiting their progress in their quest for a muscular physique. I always tell them this: don't let race or ethnicity be a limiting factor in your training goals or any goal. It does not matter if you are Asian or a skinny bastard or a woman. If your goal is to be bigger, faster, stronger, then you still travel the same road that everyone else travels to size and strength. I mean look at Tommy Kono . Here was a Japanese American who grew up in an internment camp, and he became arguably the greatest Olympic weightlifter the US offered to the world.  He was also a successful bodybuilder, winning the Mr. Universe title in 1955 and 1957.  He built a phenomenal physique in an era before steroids. He didn't let race or ethnicity be a limiting factor in his mind or on

Strength Training for the Asian Lifter, Part II

By J -

Since I keep getting inquiries on my previous article Strength and Bodybuilding for the Asian Lifter , I thought I'd write up a follow-up: I’m a bit of a bodybuilding purist. I normally don’t write my exercise articles from the angle of “develop the muscles that drive her wild in bed!” Men’s Fitness, however, interviewed me one time for an article titled Sculpting Her Five Favorite Body Parts. The interviewer picked my brain on how to develop muscles so that a woman, as she put it, “couldn't keep her hands off you.” When it comes down to it, Asian men want the same thing everybody else wants when they exercise: to look good naked! Women don’t give a crap how much you bench, but they will notice the tone in your arms when you’re wearing a T-shirt. A lot of Asian guys feel that their Asian genes are somehow holding them back when it comes to gaining muscle. But guess what? Whether or not it is true that Asian men have a harder time gaining muscle, most women don’t
