"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.

Okay, so for my shoulders I like to do Clean & Presses. I feel with the added cleaning motion I'll work other muscles and give myself a more, hurculean look. Though, I'm also doing Deadlifts the same day. Now, my clean and presses are obviously lighter than my deadlifts cause, I'm just using enough weight for my shoulders. But, I'm wondering if doing that and deadlifts in the same day would be too much on my back? I guess I could just switch to dumbbell shoulder presses or military press.

What do you guys think?
 

"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.

Well DanZy, I think I'll have to agree with you. I just don't want to over-train my back by doing extra cleaning movements. I'll stick to doing them for awhile and switch it up when necessary.

This is fine. There really is no such thing as over-training unless you're working out 2-3 times a day and not getting enough rest and eating enough.
