"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.

"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.

I don't work forearms directly, but I always noticed a pump in them whenever I do deadlifts, pull ups, or hanging leg raises. It all comes down to your grip. When you have a tight grip, your forearm muscles are activated when performing an exercise.

First we want to find out what the issue is.

Is your forearm circumference small? if so, your forearms just won't look as big as someone who has a bigger forearm bone. Also necessary to take into account is the length of your tendons contrary to the size of your muscle belly. If you have long tendons and a small muscle belly, your forearm muscles will look smaller.

Are your forearm muscles small? in that case you can actually make a difference, though the results of your efforts will depend on your personal physiology. You can do compound exercises that involve the forearms (ie. anything) - this alone will grow them. You can grip handles hard instead of using your arms as "straps" or "hooks". You can add on forearm exercises at the end of your workouts.

I personally don't do forearm-specific exercises, I do compounds with a solid grip. The reason why is that the forearms already get worked with everything you do that involves holding a weight in your hands which most exercises for the upper body involve doing. That's why when you get tendonitis or something it will most likely be at the elbow, forearm or wrist, so not only is working them directly probably unnecessary (unless you just want big forearms), it may negatively influence other movements because of fatigue and increase the risk of something bad happening which stops you from working out safely.
