"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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).
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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