Yeah, just let your lats get bigger and you'll have that V shape in no time. I recommend bent over barbell rows/dumbell rows or wide grip chin ups for great back development.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
February 13th Workout
Military Presses: 99lbs x 6; 99lbs x 3; 99lbs x 5; 99lbs x 8; 99lbs x 6;
I had to get my weight down by 4 lbs because it feels like my bones are about to crash. I hate my small frame: I feel like my muscles could load up to 150 lbs but if I tried, my bones would crash.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You're shoulders are not being given time to recover mate; you're performing well below your potential.
I don't know about this, manu... It looks like my lifts are getting higher and higher every workout, so maybe I could go on like this until it works... I mean, if I'm getting stronger every time I perform millies, it probably means that my shoulders have recovered from the previous workout.
However, you and many other guys in here are better-informed than me, so tell me where my reasoning fails, because I don't really want to limit myself. I want to press my bodyweight as soon as I can.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

how about adding some more exercises to your workouts... i never do less than 5 in a trip to the gym. plus ur not really working ur other muscles by doing that, ur body is gonna get out of proportion. find some example workouts either from a trainer, online, or a magazine...i prefer the mags myself ( i do the flex magazine get ripped in 12 weeks right now) theres plenty of stuff out there 4 u to get a better workout
Muscles take a long time to repair after serious lifting. Lifting damages the muscles, so after lifting we not only need to wait for our muscles to repair to their previous strength, we need to wait for them to heal beyond their previous strength. This can take 4 days or more, regardless of how the muscles actually feel.Originally posted by Adone

By using your shoulders on consecutive days (chest, shoulders) you are attempting to beat previous strength records when your shoulders are at their weakest.
If you wait 4 days before working the same muscle group again you'll be able to life a lot more, and growth with occur faster.

At 5'9 and 150 lbs, I don't think I have to worry about growing out of proportion yet. Plus, I'm working out every muscle, since I'm doing Squats, Military Presses, Bench Presses and Bent-Over Rows. What am I missing?
I'll start to do isometric exercises when I get to 165 lbs.

There are too many exercises to list, some include incline/ decline presses, curls, skull crushers, deadlifts, dips, etc... a big part of working out is changing your workout to keep your muscles guessing. Lifting can be complex if you truly want results you should talk to a trainer or find a program done by a professional. I read a magazine or two every month. My favs are Flex and Muscle and Fitness, give em a try if you want they're cheaper than getting a trainer.
"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.
