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.

Alcohol:insidious said:Strong, I've frequently heard that. I am not arguing, it makes tremendous sense that the damage you inflict on your body with one wild night of binging would easily wipe out any lifting gains you've recently attained.
Can you elaborate on the mechanics of the biological process that heavy alcohol drinking does to the body? Is your body too busy "repairing" the damage to build new muscle?
(btw, saw your 40kg one arm snatch in tribute to Jason Young's. loved it. next time my downstairs neighbors go on vacation, I'm gonna give that a shot!)
