There weren't many role models for large Asian (or half Asian) kids in the 70's. Bruce was awesome but he was little and I knew I was never going to be anything like him.

I wanted to be Bolo.

I was walking through the bushes when i heard a huge roar and there was a big female gorilla staring at me, i felt a shiver rushed through my spine and the gorilla lift me up and took me back to the cave, but there was a male gorilla in the cave and he jumped at me and i ran out the cave screaming, since that day i was inspired to get big and strong and i am lifting hard to one day go back to that cave and claim what is mine.

Between Wide World of Sports  and the WSM events they covered and Arnold in just about anything in the early 80's, that was enough. I knew I was never gonna get shredded like the 80's BB's but I figured I could strong.

I watched this with my dad when I was very young and it definitely contributed to me wanting to train later on.  I did it for sports but also found it made me feel good overall.
