"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.

Hey y'all,
I armwrestled a guy for about two minutes straight (and neither of us ever won) last Saturday while drinking. The next day, I noticed that my shoulder was kinda sore and my elbow also.

On Monday, I went ahead to the gym anyway because the injury didn't seem that bad anymore. But I ended the workout about four sets early because my shoulder was getting really sore again (the elbow seems to be fixed, for the most part).

I haven't been back to the gym yet and I was thinking I should maybe hold off for a while.

What do you guys think?

Also, I've recently upgraded my lateral bar sets to 4 x 10 x 156 lbs. Previously, I was only doin 144 lbs. So the heavier weight might've been straining my shoulder a bit even before the armwrestling. I don't know.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

yea you didn't retract your shoulder blade..so there is a ton of opposing force opening up your shoulder unnaturally, thats also what happens when you don't retract your shoulder blades when benching.

It also happens if your pressing the bar to high on a flat bench press..it also happens when you do behind the neck presses, it also happens when you do behind the neck pull-ups, it also happens when you do behind the neck pull downs, it also happens when you do up right rows.

umm, I'm sure it's bad to tear biceps, but I would like some advice on FIXING MY SHOULDER. I don't plan on armwrestling anymore; I've read some bad things about it on google since the incident
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Do an internet search on rotator cuff injury. You'll find some answers there. Excercises, therapy suggestions etc.
