How to approach someone

So I realized on instagram that you can look under specific tags, and there's this one guy who looks so great and apparently went on a great musclegrowth journey. So I just followed him and the guy looks really cool and posts almost daily, and apparently he had a website that he said he'd give free consultation for people but he only gave a phone number and not an email, so I'm not really comfortable with calling him. He had the link of his FB on his account and I was wondering would it be weird to message him to ask him what his bulking/lifting/leaning routines were?

Thumbs up (What was life like before the internet?)

Short answer? Go for it. What's the worst that could happen? There's nothing weird about wanting advice and he clearly offered it right. I'm no expert on reaching out but from experience, NOTHING is every as scary/awkward as we imagine it. Ever.

Far be it from me to contradict, but there are plenty of things which are exactly as scary or awkward as you would expect. And a certain number which are actually worse.

Buuuuut I don't think this falls under that heading. You aren't propositioning him, you're asking for advice he has already offered through a different medium. Realistically, the worst he can say is "I really don't like having prolonged discussions via text, so either call me or bug off." Life is not a horror movie.

Just an update. The guy was super nice and even offered to give me a lifting plan/bulking plan...but then I never heard from him again haha. I'm going to give it a bit before I bother him again but thanks for the encouragement everyone!
