"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Best preacher curls-Standing or Sitting?

I need to make or buy a preacher curl bench. I can't do normal curls anymore because I just had surgery for a broken back 10 weeks ago.

Would standing preacher curls be easier on the lower back than sitting? Essentially I need to remove as much stress from the lower back as possible.

I can weld together my own custom-built device, or buy if one is available that suits the purpose.

"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.

Right... chins are out of the question for now, but I do have a bar in my doorway waiting for my return.

Anyone else...?

I've tried, and no matter how I've tweaked my form, my back can't take it. Not even with an empty bar, let alone with weights.

I might be able to get away with concentration curls... I'll try it.

What happened to your back? Broken bones or disc issues?
