Michael Thomas didn't want to tell.
He never does.
He likes to keep the details to himself, whether it's the benefits of doing hand yoga or what his offseason program entails. Someone might be listening – no, someone is listening – and he doesn't want to give anyone his blueprint.
So, last month, when asked about his offseason program and if it had changed due to the global pandemic, Thomas predictably didn't have much to say.
