"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.

Shoulder pain right after dips

Right after I do a set of dips, I feel pain in my shoulders for a couple seconds. Its never during a set, its right after. Last for 1-2 'alligators' (time is takes to say 2 alligators).

My shoulders are pretty flexible, and I never have pain during any other shoulder exercises like upright rows (when I used to do em).
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Get to know and listen to your body and when you get to know your body you will realize that their are different kinds of pain, so why suffer, do another exercise for triceps / chest.

Yeah the same thing used to happen to me. I just ignord it until it went away after a few months. I've had many rotator cuff problems with others sports (swimming mostly). Your shoulder will get stronger, I just wouldn't do 10 sets of dips until it starts feeling better

Same thing used to happen to me with my forearms while doing straight bar curls. I had no problems during the set but as soon as I set the weight down I got really sharp pains.

Dips are not a tricep isolation movement like so many people think. It is a full upper body compound movement. Your shoulders are most likely the "weak link." Maybe try lowering your head while you do them, this will put more work on your chest.
 

"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.

dips can do a number on your shoulders once your weight gets up there..
