when smoking hash use the cigarette filter to burn it. Get your saliva on the filter, press the amount of hash you want to smoke against it, burn it and mix it up with the tobacco, its faster and cleaner

For those in the UK - dont feel obliged to tip, waiters in the US are exempt from minimum wage due to some law so they NEED the tips. In the UK, its completely different because waiters get paid as much as anyone else so tips should be reserved only for when you feel the service has been exceptional. The tips are often confiscated by the restaurants in the UK anyway and used to cover 'waste'.

Be sure to set yourselves some life goals and targets for where you want your life to be headed. This is one of the biggest things most people never do, they just end up coasting along. In 5 years time do you want to be a trainee systems analyst, do you want to have a long term relationship and moved in with your partner, do you want to be living in Thailand? Once you have assessed what you want out of your life, it becomes a million times easier to work towards that. Its like in Starcraft 2, when you get cheesed and dont know how to deal with that you panic - but make a plan where you want to be in the mid game, and when the cheese comes, you know just to deal with it and get back into your mid-game plan.

I can attest to this, as soon as I started listing things I wanted I started doing things about them. E.g. 'to look good' was one of them - next day signed up at the gym, lost 8lbs in 2 months and a -lot- more muscle definition now (I didnt know what exercise to do, so I just asked at the gym for a 'general' workout plan :p - walk before you run!).

FOCUS your thinking. Your mind is incredibly powerful - your subconscious will automatically filter out information it deems not relevant to your interests. Example: you buy a red Ford Focus. All of a sudden every car on the road is a red ford focus. This is because your conscious has told your subconscious 'I have a Red Ford Focus! Yea!'. If you consciously focus on the things you want to achieve (and, these should be the things that make you feel good and get you closer towards your 'life goals'), whether its a better job or a new girlfriend - all of a sudden your subconscious will start shouting at you and you will notice every job advert in the window or every hot girl walking down the street. If you consciously focus on the things you hate about your life, they will invariably bother you more and you will notice it more. Bringing down your mood like this is only ever bad for you, there's no 'good' side to being miserable!

I took some of these tips from Maximum Achievement by Brian Tracy which is a good read, I would recommend it but don't want to spam so if you can get it a library and flick through its interesting - nothing groundbreaking but just puts forward ideas in a very approachable way and forces you to ask yourself questions you might not have otherwise. Setting yourself life goals, then each day working towards those goals and focusing your subconscious on those goals will soon have you on your way!!




Waiters aren't exempt from minimum wage. Employers are allowed to use tips as a part of their wage though. So if someone is paid $1.25 an hour and makes $6.25 an hour in tips this is allowed. If she only gets $5.25 an hour in tips, then the employee must make up the difference in wage to $2.25.

My friends and I in college would go frisbee golfing in the park every day, and we'd bring my little puppy Asha with us to chase ducks and shit.

When we'd see a group of age-appropriate girls, we'd point Asha in their direction and be like, "LOOK! What's that? Do those people have food for you?", then let her go and she'd run up and start barking at them (she's a chihuaha mix, so it's sorta what she does).

100% of the time the girls thought it was cute and a conversation got started. My friends got several dates out of it (I had a gf the whole time, so did not benefit personally).

It might be cliche, but it totally works.

Whenever you are in an argument with someone, and they are obviously wrong, but refuse to acknowledge that you are in the right, stop, remind yourself that nearly everyone besides you is an idiot, feel sorry for them for being an idiot and move on with your life.

Saves a lot of time.

Stretching is BAD. Unless ur a hot chick there is no reason to get super flexible. It actually hurts strength and risks injury. There are a few dynamic stretches and things for people who don't have full mobility but that yoga garbage isn't good for you. Thing like your lower back are for stability not motion. This is especially true before strength training as you lose the elasticity so you can't lift as much weight and risk injury.
Unless your a body builder, I doubt stretching hinders strength training. I've been doing a bridge every morning since I was little, and when I started going to the gym, I grew 10 pounds of muscle in only 2 months, not taking account into the cardio beforehand which probably helped cut down the fat.

My advice - stretch often, especially if you don't have muscle, as it will actually allow you to appear more muscular because you body will feel naturally more comfortable moving around in its ideal positions.


Been studying working out etc.. for at least 4 years : streching is VERY GOOD, afaik its better to have good flexibility than a lot of muscles.

Beeing flexible actually favors getting muscular, you have good examples with Flex Wheeler, arguably the best BB, being able to do the splits at his peak condition. (search for pics if u want)

Truth be told: flexibility allow better blood flow through the muscles, thus making 'em healing faster and being better nutruted overall.

Still u gotta take it slow and progressive, if you rush, you'll be crushed.

Truth and guilty as charged. My sister got a puppy recently but left me to raise it since she's too busy. (yea, w/e) So...

Ok heres some real tips

-Strength training is the best way to lose weight and burn calories for men OR women AND it will make you strong if your a man and if your a woman you won't gain any muscle.

-Running for long distances is for hamsters or the severely obese. Google HIIT and burn calories all day with 15min of exercise.

-You can't train for cardio (endurance) and strength at the same time because its two types of muscle fibers that interfere. Just lift weights and maybe do some HIIT.

Stretching is BAD. Unless ur a hot chick there is no reason to get super flexible. It actually hurts strength and risks injury. There are a few dynamic stretches and things for people who don't have full mobility but that yoga garbage isn't good for you. Thing like your lower back are for stability not motion. This is especially true before strength training as you lose the elasticity so you can't lift as much weight and risk injury.

*most people need stretching because they sit all day, but once you get to a certain point its bad. Standing at your computer or doing hip mobility stretches a few times a day is important.

-Drink 1 gallon of water per day or more

Actually this is gonna be too hard and take too long. Stronglifts.com has all teh answers u need. I can't really explain everything in detail here or enough.


Life trick: Ignore most of the quote above. I don't know how else women gain muscle (and strength) except through strength training/weight lifting. The info about stretching sounds like rabid ranting from a gym junkie.


Women are generally afraid to lift any weights b/c they think they will get bulky and don't understand that weight and body fat are different things. Women can't get much muscle unless they train super hard and even then they wont get much since they dont have the testosterone to build it.

Stretching is good for most people but a lot of people take it too far. I said that stretching too much actually hurts your strength which it does. It also increases risk of injury. Certain parts of you aren't meant to stretch.

When buying electronics, haggle. Refuse to pay any extra fees and ask for warranties for free. If you're spending enough, they aren't going to let you walk away.
