"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

6' and 160 IS skinny.

Your post has a lack of detail about your workout, and also no mention of nutrition, which is at least 50%.

Muscles don't grow out of thin air.

Go to the "Health and Fitness" forum page, and to the two stickies up the top "Where to Start" and "The Vault" and do some reading.

Work out a plan based off what you learn there, then report back in 6 months with your progress.

scrap upright rows, don't really see the point in them and most people do them wrong/trash their shoulders

if you're going to keep those exercises I'd do

saturday
incline bench press
curl
forearm exercise

sunday
legs
calves
leg extensions
squat
leg curls

off

tuesday shoulders/tris
seated db/barbell press or standing military press
lateral raises
rear delt raises
close grip bench press
overhead tricep movement

Wednesday
back/traps
chinups/lat pulldowns
barbell rows/deadlifts
barbell shrugs

thursday
off

repeat

basic routine right there. I'd say no more than 4-5 movements per session. Focus on bigger exercises first

than maybe one isolation exercise after big movements



You should train like these guys. Hit it hard, eat big, stay consistent and you'll be fine.
