"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.

Routine for shoulders?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Face pulls?
Shrugs?
Upright rows?
Never done them. Shrugs are good, yes, but HSPUs work your traps as well, face pulls and especially upright rows are kind of unnatural movements for me

Shoulders are not a large muscle group. They don't need special attention. Beach / Row superset hits them. Just throw in overhead press and you're good.

I'm partial to trap bar deadlifts as well, since shrugs was mentioned.

I agree with this, when it gets right down to it. In actuality, the only real results I ever got with shoulders specifically were from presses above the head, regardless of the type. They add width that other things can't. Similar to how squats and deads add a certain 'look' to your body. It's hard to really explain.

I don't mind the other isolation exercises, maybe they add some depth or something, but I've never had results with them.
