"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.

Too much back arch while doin shoulders

I'm having a problem while doing my shoulder workout. As I am doing overhead dumbell or barbell presses while sitting on the bench (perpendicular to seat), my back starts to arch badly. I am using my feet to push back against the bench, but that only prevents my back from arching so much. Also, I don't think it is an issue of too much weight; my shoulders can handle the weight. It is only after a certain amount of reps that my back arches more and more, even if I'm doing light weight.

Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

do it on an incline/decline bench with it inclined close to 150-180 degrees so your back is totally stabilized.

btw try using dumbells as opposed to barbels and maybe go a little lighter and see if the same problem occurs.
