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.
"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 just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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

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
