"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.

"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.

millitary / arnold presses usually give me the best results. if you want an overall delt mass, also add in side laterals. the middle lateral worked out my side lateral raises is the biggest one, and is the one that gives it the big look.

don't worry about front lateral isolation exercises, you will work them out plenty from millitary presses, and your chest day exercises.

as for rear laterals, feel free to add them in, a lot of people neglect them.

rear delts can really bring out the shape in your shirts, and make your shoulders all they can be. Do some bent over raises, incline rear-lat raises, etc...
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Most shoulder exercises fall into one of two categories: Pressing movements and lateral movements. Try for 3-4 sets of each different type.

My shoulder routine is as follows:

day 1- Military presses: 4 sets, bent over laterals: 4 sets

day 2- Upright rows: 4 sets, side laterals: 4 sets.

Also, stay away from presses behind the neck. They tend to cause shoulder problems.

When you do side laterals, use good form. Don't throw the dbs up. As you raise them, lower the front part of the dumbell, just as if you were pouring a pitcher of water.

I also recommend doing traps as part of your back workout.

I don't do back 2 days. Those are all shoulder exercises that I just described. OK, well maybe the upright rows hit the traps as well as the delts.

I've always trained traps with my back. In just about any sort of back exercise, the traps are involved. Even deadlifts hit the traps.
