"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.

Up until now I've always done my shoulder workout before my back workout on the same day.

But it seems everyone is recommending to do shoulders after chest so I gave it a go the other day.

I found it was so much more difficult and I couldn't lift anywhere near my normal amount!

Last week I was doing standing military press with 25kg easily but after 7 sets of flat and incline bench I could only barely manage 20kg.

After that I tried front dumbbell raises with 7kg each arm (normal 8kg) and I could barely lift my arm....i ended up struggling with a 6kg.

Is this a good thing? I rather push my shoulders to the limit rather than tiring them out during chest exercises. What are your experiences?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Do what you wanna do. Lots of people also recommend back/bis and chest/tris, but I've found I can't hit my arms as hard as I'd like if I do them after a complimentary muscle set. Experiment, do what you think will give you the best gains, and if it doesn't work, be open to trying someone else's idea.

Do it either on your chest day (after chest) or do it on a seperate day as spaced out from chest as possible. (i.e 3-4 days).

Both are push muscles so it makes sense to put some recovery time in between them.

I limit my shoulder training for that reason. Literally 3-4 sets on a weds along with deadlifts and then hit Chest on a Friday. My shoulders are quite strong and have normally recovered by then.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
