"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.

Hey y'all,
I armwrestled a guy for about two minutes straight (and neither of us ever won) last Saturday while drinking. The next day, I noticed that my shoulder was kinda sore and my elbow also.

On Monday, I went ahead to the gym anyway because the injury didn't seem that bad anymore. But I ended the workout about four sets early because my shoulder was getting really sore again (the elbow seems to be fixed, for the most part).

I haven't been back to the gym yet and I was thinking I should maybe hold off for a while.

What do you guys think?

Also, I've recently upgraded my lateral bar sets to 4 x 10 x 156 lbs. Previously, I was only doin 144 lbs. So the heavier weight might've been straining my shoulder a bit even before the armwrestling. I don't know.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

yea you didn't retract your shoulder blade..so there is a ton of opposing force opening up your shoulder unnaturally, thats also what happens when you don't retract your shoulder blades when benching.

It also happens if your pressing the bar to high on a flat bench press..it also happens when you do behind the neck presses, it also happens when you do behind the neck pull-ups, it also happens when you do behind the neck pull downs, it also happens when you do up right rows.

umm, I'm sure it's bad to tear biceps, but I would like some advice on FIXING MY SHOULDER. I don't plan on armwrestling anymore; I've read some bad things about it on google since the incident
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Do an internet search on rotator cuff injury. You'll find some answers there. Excercises, therapy suggestions etc.
