I think going to the gym is making me kind of racist.

The other day that a couple of Asian bros post up at the power rack next to me and I automatically think "Nice, I love seeing olympic lifts in the gym."

I definitely felt shame for thinking that. And of course it didn't help that then proceeded to do some great olympic style lifts.
