Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day On the …
#45 Heebomb Experiment: Fasting
Not long ago, I shared some basic insights on Intermittent Fasting. With this post, I wanted to share my current experience with fasting as I'm entering into my 42nd hour of not consuming food! It may be surprising but I actually feel pretty good right now. I would say the overall energy may be down …
#43 Do you even squat bro? (Part 1)
Let's talk about the squat! First of all, when you hear the word "SQUAT" what comes to your mind? I have a feeling a lot of people probably think of some buff guy, crazy amount of weight on his back, and intense screaming while moving up and down. Perhaps something similar to the image below: Squatting …
#43 The Uphill Battle
We are in an uphill battle. We are in a fight that perhaps is impossible to win. I'm talking about the climate of the health (& fitness) industry. With all the advancements in medicine and technology, the overall health doesn't seem to have improved much. The life expectancy may have increased but people seem to …
#39 Ball is Life
In the past year or two, I rarely touched a basketball so I just figured "ball was not life"...so I thought. The last tournament I played was in the 2016 Korean national tournament in Dallas. We, Team DC, lost in the semi-finals to the team from New York, and until 3-4 weeks ago, I thought that …
#38 Intermittent Fasting
No one food is good or bad. No one meal will make you fat. No one diet is the best diet. Such absolutist thinking is the reason why we are constantly told to eat a certain food or follow this diet in order to “get shredded in 6-weeks!” Unfortunately, fasting, more specifically Intermittent Fasting (IF), has …
#30 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 5
There is so much HATE in the health & fitness industry. I can't even count how many times I've heard statements like "that trainer sucks," "that exercise/equipment is pointless," "that certification/coach is terrible," or something in the realm. At times, I find myself guilty of this too. In my opinion, one of the main reasons may …

#29 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt.4
"Rule #1: no pissing, no moaning!" Coach Charles Poliquin's favorite rule. I first heard him say this in 2012 at one of his seminars. There stood one of the smartest people I've ever met, who happens to be a meat-head with literally two biceps heads bulging out of his arms, and this man is yelling …

#24 Emotions
More than ever, I think we are told of this lie of "perfection." Go on any one of the social media platforms and you'll see the perfect weather, perfect job, perfect marriage, perfect body, perfect diet, and etc. Are our lives this perfect? I know mine's not...not even close. I know I'm definitely guilty of having shared mostly …
#19 Quote of the week #4
“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful, it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living. Heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.” …
