"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.

A body can produce more force based on a list of factors:

-Improvements in general strength. (Try improving your squat, deadlift, bench, rows, cleans)

-Improvements in explosive strength (Try doing sprints, medicine ball throws, plyometrics)

-Improvements in core strength (Try low intensity ab work, high reps)

-Improvements in technique

-Gaining weight
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

On a slight tangent, Muay Thai hand techniques tend to be weaker or less focused on than those of western boxing. Part of this comes from the stance which was touched on earlier and part of this comes from the fact that in Thailand a punch is the lowest scoring technique with head kicks and throws from the clinch racking up the points.

If you really want to learn to work the bag then work with a boxing coach.
