"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.

First of all, I would like to start by saying this forum has really helped me with taking control of my life and responsibility for my body. I started on Starting Strength at the beginning of June and I have gained 10 lbs over the course of 2 months. I thank you guys for that.

Okay so the only thing I see that's not progressing is my Military Presses, others seem to be going up steadily in 5lbs jumps. On Monday, I tried doing 65lbs sets but on the last set I failed on the 1st rep. 60lbs is easy for me but 65lbs is too hard.

So I have a question here, should I increase intensity of 60lbs military presses (i.e reduce rest time) or should I juat reset the weight and climb back up again?
 

"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.

It is a difficult lift to improve. It's also very technique dependent. Check your form and make sure you are getting you head through as soon as the bar clears it.

Bring the progression down, introduce 8*3 dips on your Bench day ( I presume you're still on starting strength ). Up your protein, calories, sleep and stop fapping. OHP for me was the hardest thing to progress on too, Dips really help.

Get heavier and it'll go up. Hardest lift to progress on. Dips and incline bench help.

Don't get a spotter for a military press. Don't be one of those retarded gym rats that needs a spotter for exercises that don't need spotting.

Right guys thanks for the help. I will start doing accessory work (dips/chin ups) during my workouts.
