"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.
What muscles does the Rower work?

"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.

Step 1 Use rower flat out for 3 mins.
step 2 What's stiff the next day?
Apart from that!

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I use the row alot too. Will this help me in my chin ups you think? I've been slackin from the gym recently and right now i cant lift my body weight (in wide grip pull-ups). Think the row will help with this movement?
Rowing helps your back generally. But if you're doing high rep rowing on a machine, you won't get much noticeable improvement in your upper back strength.
Go as hard as possible for short intervals. That might work. If you're sore, that's a good sign. Do (free or cable) rows if you want to improve your chin ups without actually doing chin-ups.
BTW, rowing on a rowing machine is fanstastic cardio (with respect to calories expended and the perceived effort).
