"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 like the "old skool" olympic lifts. There's nothing better than doing snatches & cleans in a workout... NOTHING!!!

Anybody else do these?

Apparently they are the best exercises an athlete can do.

Cleans and deadlifts are AWESOME exercises. You will build
your core strength doing these which for some reason just makes you stronger in every other exercise you do. I think they also make your muscle thicker or denser if that makes sense -- all good.

I actually prefer deadlifts because there is less movement and I worry about injury when I do cleans. And, obviously, you can pile on more weight with deadlifts than cleans. I never do snatches (although I'm a huge fan of snatch in general) again because there is too much movement and I'm worried about back injury even though I've never injured my back. It just feels like I might when I do snatches.

yep, I do a lot of snatches and power cleans in the weights portion of my training
 

"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.

They're awesome. Right now though I'm not doing either, I'm only doing grind exercise routines (chins, dips, squats) and kettlebells, and workouts with a 100 pound medicine ball.

Power cleans are definately up there with squats and deadlifts for sure, they will not only build you a great looking body, but will also give you fantastic strength in the future. It is no surprise that all three are events in the world strongest man competitions.

If you just tried the snatch for the first time, you're not much of a DJ are you?
