"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.

"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.

"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.

cunches, is that anytihng to do with lying down with your legs raised off the floor and trying to sit up or somtihng like that? im not really uptodate with all this stuff.

crunches are,
you get in the same position as sit-ups but you only raise your top body about 20% above the floor instead of going all the way up in situps, also put your hands across your pecks instead of behind your head so it puts the strain on your abs and not your neck,
try it mate, it works the abs a lot harder and brings out your 6 pack a lot better than sit-ups

pecks as in above your abs?, the two things on your chest otherwise known as tits
in a dracula sleeping type way yeah?
you will find it's harder to do as much as you can do sit-ups, i could only do about 25 when i first did them but i'm upto 150 a day at the minute

when i do 40 press ups its hard for me so it goes quick...
with situps i find it incredibly boring because its hard but not as hard, you do not need to concentrate at all so i find them increadibly boring to do.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It's the "I Dream of Jeanie" pose.
Are you doing these situps in sets or just 150 reps from beginning to end? Really, sets of 10-20 reps should be enough to exercise your abs. If you're not feeling the strain, try doing them much slower and/or hold a dumbell as you do.
Oh and yes, your shoulders should no hurt. Make sure you tense your muscles and make sure you know you are using your abs to pull you up when doing situps. A lot of people use the wrong muscles in the gym to do their various exercises, and thus, they make slow gains!

Put some music on.
"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.

Go to skinnyguy.net, click on Mass Tips, then "How to Reveal Your Six-Pack of Abs," or something like that.
you sound like you are doing your sit ups wrong? the reason your neck is sore is probably because your pulling on your neck muscles with your hands behind your head straining your neck, try doing your sit ups with your hands on the side of your head so you dont yank your head forward with each sit up and concentrate on using your abdominals, dont cheat by trying to swing your body up and not using your abs.
I also like to do my sit ups in 125 - 150 sets, I usually do 125 then rest 5 or 10 minutes and do another 125 -150
