<h3>Why I <span style="color: red;">LOVE</span> Asian Cinema</h3>
If you haven't been watching Asian movies, I got news for you - you've been missing out on a lot of cool flicks. Before I finish my next post about this new killer movie that is coming out and the physical training that went into it, here is a quick little non-fitness post. I want to tell you why I love Korean, Japanese, Cantonese, etc. movies... Here is the reason why I included many Asian movies in my post <a href="http://relativestrengthadvantage.com/25-movies-that-motivate-me-to-train-hard/">25 Movies That Motivate Me To Train Hard</a>. Also - this story was somewhat inspired by <a href="http://www.kickbacklife.com/2009/05/24/my-favorite-books/">Chris McCombs</a> recent post on his favorite books in different fields. So here is just a small selection of some of my favorite Asian flicks:

That, and having a bit of <a href="http://relativestrengthadvantage.com/build-bigger-muscles-fast-the-strenght-and-size-full-body-workout/">muscle mass</a>.
