"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.

Nausea during training...

I always notice that the higher the intensity of my workouts the more nauseous I get... I'm not sure if this can be alleviated by having better conditioning or not.

I haven't puked yet, but there's points during workouts where I feel crappy to the point of having to lie down and relax for a few minutes. I notice nausea is the greatest after I finish circuit training stuff.

I do my best to ensure that I'm relatively well hydrated pre-WO. In addition I do take creatine/NO-boosting supplements for my pre-WO supplementation.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets this...Are there any real solutions to this besides just having better conditioning? I've heard things like ginger and other digestive aids used to alleviate nausea, but not about how effective they would be. Does anyone have any experience with solutions to this problem?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

BREATHE more, your body is derived of oxygen while doing these heavy lifts and it needs oxygen to produce energy.

Breath in and out like a machine, rythemetically.

Some conditioning will help too, and maybe some fast carbs an hour before your workout for fuel.
also, drink water while your working out.

I also feel like this ONLY if immediately after a work set...I stop suddenly and don't cool down.
Its like you've been sprinting for a long time and then all of a sudden you stop and then you sit down...it makes you feel sick.

I've had this lots of time. I've heard before that your muscles are releasing toxins locked up into your bloodstream and as you work out more and there's less of these toxins left, then you'll be less prome to nausea in work outs. I heard this from a fitness expert on the radio, it's not from my mouth. So make of it what you will.

Are you eating something about an hour before you work out? I used to get really nauseated after doing really intense lifts if I didn't eat like an hour before working out. Not sure if you're experiencing the same thing though.
