I was playing tennis yesterday and I was screwing around at the end.. My friend threw me the ball and I took a swing at it like a baseball. As I swung the racket up with my left hand I felt something pull on my upper arm.. It's in between my deltoid and tricep.. Can I put a wrap on it and still lift at the gym?
"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.
I highly recommend AGAINST doing that.
Rest it for a few days, then CAREFULLY test it (low weight, low stress). If you have any discomfort at all, lifting can worsen the issue exponentially. Don't make a 2 week injury turn into a 4 month injury.
If you don't see improvement from rest, see a doctor.

I pulled my delt in a powerlifting competition back in high school. It was my right delt and I did it whilst maxing out on the benchpress. I saw the athletic trainers for a week full of resistance band work and stretches. No lifting with it for a week or two. It wasn't that bad to recover from and yes I started training delts after that accident.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
