"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.

but, what else is there to eat?
 

"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.

You need to be eating the way that is outlined in Effort's "Simple Starting Diet".

Look in Mike's food journal for recipe ideas. It is sticked at the top of the forum.

LOTS of beef and eggs. I didn't see either in your diet today. You need to make an effort if this is going to work.

Seriously, if you have whey, and put raw eggs in your shakes, you won't taste it. Just blend it up real nice with with fruits too if you like (but not at night). It's a bit overwhelming at first but before you know it will be better than the old ways you used to eat...and could teach you how to cook unless you love plain flavors ;)

Do the shoulder press with either dumbbells or a barbell.

What angle is the incline you are using? Make sure it isn't too steep.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

i don't know what angle.
it's set at my school's gym, and I can't change it, but it isn't very steep.

also, i think some of the wednesday workouts hurts my shoulder and i have tendonitis there. I heard incline press doesn't hurt you rotator cuff?

Dinner :
3 eggs w/ olive oil
4 fish capsules
veggies
shrimp
musrooms

i know i should've eaten chicken or beef, but after my post workout meal, i just couldn't put much more down. All this food was basically forced into my stomach...

also, i notice that i'm needing to sh1t more often :)

Don't switch to the chest machine. If anything that would be more likely to aggravate the problem.

Drop the barbell and go with dumbbells. Keep things light on chest day for a few weeks and give the problem time to heal.

Dumbbell Incline Press 2 x 8-10
Dips 2 x 10
Shoulder Press 2 x 10 70lb
Tricep Extensions 2 x 10 10lb.

And remember that other exercises could be contributing to the problem. I urge you too try and get videos of your lifts and take on board some of the things I said in the thread you made earlier in the week.
