"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.

Hey,

My quads are killing after a session of squats and deads (amongst others). I did a 15 min warm up, and same warm down (lot of time during lunch!), but still have a lot of acid in there & makes walking downstairs a pain!

Can anyone recommend tips or techniques for quick and effective warm-downs?

TIA,
Oscar.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

My tip is....never ever do squats and deadlifts on the same day.

I do squats and deads on the same day and I love it.

For soreness:

1) Stretch

2) Drink Lots of water

3) Take your vitamin supplements

4) If 1-3 don't get it done and you need extreme measures, the next day you can ice the muscle down, then do an intense cardio session.

I do 1 and 2 lots, believe me :)

As for the vitamin suppliments - we outside America have found a new supply of vitamins - cheap and very effective! I'm surprised you guys hadn't heard of vegetables yet! ;)

I guess I just need to work more on the stretching!

A harmless megadose of vitamin c should help. (like more than a gram a day)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Like my uncle Sal "The Bettin' Man" used to say...

... "If I were a bettin' man, that's where I'd put my money."

In my experience, over-soreness like that is almost always alleviated by more pre- and post-workout stretching. This isn't to say that the general burn you get after working out will go away, but painful soreness is almost a thing of the past for me when I stretch more.

the most sensible thing to do would be to increase your energy exertion before working out, and limit the stretching to after the workout, but i'd make sure to do more like 20 minutes light to medium cadio/warmup/down to help rid the muscles of pooled blood. also, try taking ten deep breaths once your done warming down, a good ratio to use is 1 to 4 to 2, as in however long you inhale, hold it for four times that, and exhale for twice as long. this should help to stimulate lymphatic removal of lactic acid
