"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.

Anyone heard of this???

Story is, I struggle with 125 pounds on the bench. My manager and I go to the same gym and he says were going to do teardowns today and well have you benching 185 in three weeks... WTF? Is he full of it or what?

Basically he says we'll put 185 on the bar and I'll slowly lower it and he'll help me bring it back up. So again, is he full of it?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I just did a search for teardowns and the only one that came up was my question...

he means negative-only benches which are dangerous. just stick with normal benching.
 

"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.

He got the down part right too, you'll be down alright.


If the weight is too heavy for you to even do a negative with, then you will drop that bar directly on your chest. Sounds exciting doesn't it? Cracked sternum, broken ribs or punctured lung is TOTALLY worth benching 185...

Not saying that WOULD happen, but it's definitely a possibility, and a large one at that.
