"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.

Yesterday at the gym I was doing barbell shrugs on the Smith Rack. I maxed out at 300 pounds, and did 4 reps. I could've done 1 rep of 315 if I wanted to. I started out at 185, and did a pyramid set.


12 reps @ 185
10 reps @ 205
8 Reps @ 225
6 reps at 275
4 reps @ 300

... then back down in the reverse order.




I made sure to keep my back straight and look straight ahead. I know this sounds like a silly newb question, but how's my poundage? I mean, am I putting up some solid numbers here? I am 5'9" and 165 pounds.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

That's decent -- best way to gague your strength for this exercise is to use dumbells or do them in a power rack or squat rack -- without the restricted ROM you get with a smith machine.

Those are kinda good I think.


Shrugs are kinda easy to do since your shoulders/neck are strong compared to many body parts.
The thing that makes sometimes shrugs hard is that you might lack strenght in forearms (your grip power).

I read somewhere that shrugs are one of the best exercises for your forearms..
