"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

IMO big arms as a function of arm exercises creates a disproportionate look that is not aesthetic. The best natural arm builders are chin ups and dips. You’ll get the mass and functionality to go with it. Big arms look cartoonish when they don’t match the legs and torso.
Are you training the brachialis directly? Cross body curls and hammer curls?
this depends on the length of your levers. If you are out of proportion I.e long Humerous and femurs you aren’t gonna be able to hit those limb muscles as well from compound exercises. People with long arms and legs and small bodies have to do way more isolation exercises to bring the longer muscles into proportion with the rest of the body. I’m one of them unfortunately.

That is 100% false. Limb length only effects the positioning of the major lifts. Using isolation to build proportional aesthetics is an oxymoron. Compound lifts are functional movements, thus they create aesthetically natural physiques.
"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.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
when you have an extra long muscle belly on your tricep due to having a long humerus bone, and have a normal length muscle belly on your pec, when you do a compound exercise such as a dip,the longer bellies muscles on the arms, even though they may gain the same poundage in muscle recruitment, will not gain the same proportional size as the pec and shoulders because the longer muscle bellies have much more surface area to cover. It’s well documented and I’m proof of it. My shoulders and chest go big, triceps just gain a little definition. The bigger the surface area of the muscle, the harder it is to keep in proportion with the smaller muscles IF you are a lanky person
