"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.

I give up! No deadlifts for me!

The strain is just too much on my bad hip. Squats are out too. It's not going to get any better until after my next surgery in Nov, when I'm getting a total hip replacement. Even then, the doc said not to do anything that causes pain now as it will just speed up the wearing out of the prosthetic and hasten another replacement.

I know enough about training that I can work those muscle groups independently, but other than benchpress, what else can I do to get testosterone levels up?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You are a strong man soldier. Props!

Doing deadlifts with shrapnel in your hips is a bad move. Wait for the hip replacement.

I don't like isolation exercises like leg extensions and leg curls. They put a lot of shearing force on the knee.

I stick with compound exercises for the legs.

Can you move the surgery ahead of schedule? My clients that had the surgery experienced much greater mobility and freedom from pain.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
