"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

i was doing a close grip bench press yesterday, doing like 8 reps. i was doing it fast and all of a sudden my left shoulder cracked and shifted into a different postion. immdiatley i started feeling alot of pain and had to rack it up as my shoulder popped back into place. i now realized that this happened because i didnt position my elbows against my side. but now when i attept to do a military press my shoulder hurts coming down and when i do like a tricep pushdown my shoulder hurts, but there is no pain when i lift it up. anyway everything is fine, its just soreness now and everything feels back into place. but has anyone ever expericned this?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

sharp, shooting pain is nature's way of telling you to cut that the **** out.

stop all upper-body lifting, immediately, and investigate what really happened to your shoulder, take the time to make sure you know what happened & what will fix it. i suggest a doctor, this is the sort of thing they're good at.

if you insist on self-diagnosis, start here:

ask crazyasian why trying to lift your way through a shoulder injury is a Bad Idea

I know what your talking about. The same exact thing happend to me when I was doing incline dumbell presses a while ago. it scared the **** out of me. I stopped lifting for a while and after 3 weeks I resumed lifting. I say warm up before lifting weights.
 

"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.

i agree with guaya although 3 weeks might be long if you're on a strict regimen.

the next session (try to give yourself a few days break, seems like it's been 2 days since this happens so maybe another day or two) start _really_ slow with low weights warming up, and start to up it from there. if everything seems normal, you should be good.

if it still hurts like a *****, i think a doctors visit is going to be worth it in the long-run so you dont seriously **** up anything and take months to fix
