"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.

The first thing that hits me is how quick it is. I was in and out of the gym within 40 minutes, including stretches, warmup sets and breaks between regular sets. I hope this thing works. Have you guys had good results with it? I'm especially interested in getting that "V" form that is most attractive to ladies.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yes it works. I'm on it, I advise it to everyone who comes to me for strength training advice.

40mins is just what you need. The 3 exercises will stress your body like nothing else. It's easy now, but it will get tough. In a few weeks you'll be glad the 40mins are over.

Don't underestimate 3 times squat a week. You'll the V shape & the X shape.

Oh those squats were surely a workout. I usually don't even break a sweat unless I'm doing cardio, but the squats had me sweating within a couple minutes.

The squats don't do much for your upper body right?

Your upperbody is being worked indirectly. Your whole upperbody tigthens when you got heavy weight on your back. The abs also tighthen up to keep you upright.

You're getting a full body workout with one exercise.

Those squats I did yesterday have my legs so sore that I can barely walk straight. I had to go up some stairs today and it was MURDER on my legs! I hope I'm better by tomorrow because I'm supposed to be meeting a friend for a bike ride.

train them again, but very light. It helps recovery.

You shouldn't go too heavy when just starting out. Start light, gradually increase the weight on the bar. Give your body some time to adapt. Squatting 3 times a week is, as you've experienced, very stressing for beginners.
