Look like this and nobody will mess with you
We really appreciate your comments, and we learn a lot from them. Some of our readers say they’ve experienced racism, while others say they haven’t. Why is it that some people are targeted while others are not? There have been several instances where a reader will mention they have never been victimized by racists because they happen to be very tall or muscular.
Racists are cowards and target those who they perceive as weak. Asians in white media are often portrayed as wimps, and so a lot of Americans get the notion that it’s safe to pick on the Asian guys. Oftentimes since Asian parents emphasize education over sports and socializing, a lot of Asian American guys can be scrawny in comparison to the average American kids who can’t count to ten but can catch a football.
How can you avoid getting picked on? One answer is to get stronger and bigger by lifting weights. There are many benefits to this. You get stronger so that you can protect yourself in case a punk ass provokes you. When you get physically stronger, you get more confident in your social life. It’s definitely true that if you feel good about yourself, you tend to radiate that. But, the best thing about gaining some muscle is that it will intimidate the racists, and they will avoid giving you trouble. They will look at your physique, think twice, and move on to easier prey.
I think a lot of Asians do not do weight training. Although Asians are just as active in sports, many of them just don’t lift. My dad was a muscular guy, but I never saw him weight train. He did stuff like push ups, sit ups, boxing, and running to stay in shape. The traditional martial arts like Karate or Taekwondo work the body by doing drills and training that uses the weight of the body. They rarely involve lifting heavy metal. Also, I think that many Asians like myself thought that Asian guys genetically can’t get that muscular and bulky. But the more research I do, I realize this is false.
Michael Chang of SixPackShortcuts
I came across this guy on YouTube recently, and was thoroughly impressed. He is well-spoken, confident, intelligent, ripped, and he has a great system for gaining muscle and strength while losing weight. His name is Mike Chang , and he went from being obese to getting ripped through lifting weights, studying the body, and eating smart. He did so well that he became a full time personal trainer, and created Six Pack Shortcuts online. He is an Asian American guy who is shattering all the stereotypes we face. I think he’s a great role model.

Weight lifting is really easy to get into but I think a lot of asians have trouble eating enough meat and so their muscles don’t grow. Especially if your parents cook for you because mine were practically vegetarians.
Well, to get results the long lasting results people see in magazines it can be on the pricy end. I haven’t checked out Mike Chang’s system but considering how stacked that guy is I’m going to go out on a limb and say he is at least eating a fair amount of meat in his diet or supplementing or both. Creating a custom built diet that you stick to, counting calories, cutting fat and slamming protein shakes like they were going out of style is literally the other half of cranking weights on a programmed regimen while at the gym and I’m not so sure a lot of Asian kids can either afford or maintain this kind of system for the periods of time it takes to transform into the Hulk. Like John above me mentioned, if you live at home and the parents cook usually you eat what they make. Some of us can request a dish here and there but generally, our folks don’t tell us to submit our 90 day diet program and then spend an additional hour prepping our food menu items just for us each night. Now by no means is this faulting the idea of working out, I just think the notion of what is reasonably attainable should be adjusted with that in mind. On the plus side though is even if you achieve one half of the equation, (crank weights but not eat healthy enough to support the longterm increase in muscle mass and fat reduction) you still benefit from the improved strength threshold and cardiovascular benefits so if you do have to throw down, there’s gonna be a lot more power behind the punches.
Now you’re talking. Also may i ask my asian brothers to learn and practice the fine art of seducing and sleeping with women.
