"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

The last week or so I've been having a sharp pain when I exert myself too much (bench press, preacher curl, pull ups) like after the 5 or 6th rep it occurs. Then as i stop it goes away after a min or so. I get back to exerting and it comes back. If I lower the weight and intensity I don't get it. I noticed the protein shake with creatine and grass supplements I've been taking does make me burpy so at first I thought it was just the gasses but it only happens when I'm really stressing my body/muscles and it's been hot at my home gym (79/80F deg). Anyone else experience something similar? I just had my annual checkup (haven't done the blood test yet) but bp, heart, lungs etc all were normal. Although those tests are very basic in nature.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Its your neck... The Cervicals are experiencing a over use and too much weight stressing.. or you have too much weight for your neck strength so they compress your nerves.

I get that alot with my training.

Best away to avoid that.... Streching your neck and cervivals area, warm up well..... or reduce the pressure until you get used to it. Get Osteopathy after

I think you nailed it. I tend to start straining my neck and upper body to get through the hard reps.

Pain is very very important in our life's, if there's no pain, it will be disasters. Image putting your hand in the fire and enjoying the black smoke out of it, After you remove your hand from the fire, you will notice that your skin is turned to be so ugly(that's in case your skin didn't fall off your hand).The pain is just a warning sign to notice you that there's a problem in a part of your body. More pain means more damage.
