"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.

In the beginning of Feb, I tore some muscles on the right side of my back at the gym. Finally, I'm no longer in pain for about 2 weeks now. But, my right side of my back still feels kind of weird. It still doesn't feel normal but doesn't hurt.

What is the best way to get back into the gym? I want to start lifting again and rebuild the muscle I lost. I recently did some arm curls and hammer curls with 15 lbs. The next day my right side of my back was sore. Do I need to wait longer? Should I expect some soreness or pain at first? Is this something that could flare up for now on? Any advice is really appreciated.

Go as light as possible and proceed upwards until it hurts. Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong.

For the mental part, you'll need to accept that you got injured and now you have to go back to the beginning. Hard truth to face for many serious lifters. But, you got injured for a reason, probably because you overdid it the first time. Learn that lesson so it doesn't happen again.

That's it, it's fairly simple. No magic pill.
