"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'd switch your squats over to hack squats instead of using the smith machine. Even if your gym doesn't have a power rack, if you can find a space to fit a barbell with weights then you can hack squat/deadlift your way to size.

blew my shoulder out and haven't been to the gym in months. I'm gonna get a 3 month membership at the end of the month and make that last push for the summer season. Same routine but I have to substitute overhead presses for something. My shoulder cannot take it thanks to overexertion in my younger years trying to serve like Sampras

macallik that sucks bro.. hope you come back motivated and ready to pull some PRs.
Tennis is a ***** for the body.. I've learned it the hard way too, back's messed up because of the second serves behind the head, and yeah shoulders for sure.
But it's a sick sport :D
