"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

so I can finally squat 275 now.
I'm very satisfied with that.
I think it's the highest on my swim team.
:)

another thing is, while my legs are looking very sexy, my pecks are really small because i can't bench (i hurt my rotator cuff). What are some exercises to do that won't hurt my rotator?
i know for a fact that push ups and flat bench will hurt it alot.

i'm 16 btw, and right now i'm taking zyflammend (something like that), and fish oils to help my shoulder. My doctor and my dad (also doctor) says i should be taking ibiprofen (sp?? lol), but i really hate taking man made drugs. I read a couple books on it... is it really that bad for you?

thx.
 

"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.

congrats on the squat man, as for the bench i'd say experiment with different exercises/machines for chest to see what doesn't cause you pain. Also go very very light

Nice squat man. Can you bench with dumbbells? Do dips hurt? Chest press machine? maybe experiment like effort said

Use bands.
Do rehabilitation exercises.
 

"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.

Was the squat ass to grass? If so, congrats...

As for the chest try incline/decline and different grips. A shoulder width grip would take some of the pressure of the shoulders and put the pressure more onto the tri's.

well it wasn't touching the ground, but it was breaking parallel by like 10 degrees.

i tried incline today, it didn't hurt. I did a moderately light weight (95), and my grip was close together. The close grip took most of the pressure off my shoulders, and i think thats how i hurt it in the first place with the flat bench.
I benched with my hands on the bar wider than my shoulders.

thx guys.
