"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

My shoulder routine consists of:

BB or DB military presses
Side raises
and shrugs

Short, intense, and heavy.

I'll keep it nice and simple.

DB Overhead Press 3x6-10
DB Side Laterals 2x6-10
DB Bent Over Raises 2x6-10

and you can throw in three sets of 8-12 on DB Shrugs to hit those traps too.

Try laterals one side at a time with cables - done properly they keep the tension on the side delt throughout the whole movement.

I would also suggest training rear delts with back - this is something I have been doing for the last six months or so and the improvement in my rear delts has been considerable. The heavy rows you should be doing for your back will hit the rear delts and after that just some bent over laterals (again I prefer cables) or use the pec deck by facing the machine with arms behind the pads and doing the movement backwards.

I always finish off shoulders with dips....Everyone else has productive comments
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Dips taken very deep will hit the front delts but there really is no point in doing any specific front delt work as they get so much work through other shoulder and chest movements.

howabout...training your rotator cuff so you in the long run you don't tear it so you can lift well into your old age..if you do tear it you wont ever lift the same again, besides if you do train it, it'll make your bench, shoulders, chest, everything grow from being able to push more weight :)
