"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Boys,

Last night in the gym i was doing my regular 'lat pull-downs' when i decided to increase the weight to 90 kgs (i have been doing 12 reps of 85 for the last 2 weeks) when in the first rep i got quite a twinge in my back from a muscle....undeterred by this i carried on going and got another one with the next rep but a bit sharper, i decided to take it back down 5 kgs and the twinges stopped!!

does this mean my back muscles can't stand the weight because my biceps easily stand this weight but it appears the muscles in my back cant...

any advice??
 

"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.

Can you maybe explain what a twinge is?

Wide grip pull-ups are more effective than pulldowns in my opinion. But I guess it all comes down to personal prefference.

no way your biceps can take a weight your back can't handle.

it's a form issue - when doing pulldowns (or pullups) there should be an arch in your back, sternum out, lats flared during the motion.

also you may not have warmed up correctly.
