"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.

Hey guys, I am not doing squats right now because I was playin basketball and a huge fat dude ran into me from the back, i have had a lil back pain...givin time to recover. In the mean time, if i do leg press? would that be sufficient enough to squats? I know squats are essential and i have to get back on track i just dont want to injure myself right now.

What are some machine exercises that equate to squats, if any?

Thanks All,


Zaraza
 

"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.

Maybe try machine hack squats, they're back-supported. Leg presses are decent but be careful not to make your injury worse with them, people can injure their back with sloppy leg presses mate.

Yeh be careful like Shaun said. I'd also try and do Glute ham raises if you can, failing that just use a hamstring machine. The ones where your heels go backwards towards your hamstrings.

So something like 3x5 leg press followed by 2x10 for hamstrings.

Do high reps on leg press with light weight, were talking 35+ rep range. Stay with that for 3 months and you'll like what happens.
 

"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.
