At my 1st powerlifting competition, I was just a sophomore in HS and I maxed on the benchpress. The thing is I didn't do ANY shoulder work leading up to that event and I pulled my delt while benching 195 lbs. back then. I've made sure to train delts since then and haven't had that problem again.
"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
So I finished the DAY 2 routine today, but I have few questions.
How high should the incline be when I do the incline press?
When I did the should press with dumbbells, I was sitting down. When I push up the dumbbell, my back will leave the chair, and my upper back/should area will still be intact to the chair, so I think my back had an arc. I try to adjust it so my whole back stick to the chair but found it hard to push the dumbbell up. Is this normal or I need to adjust it?

After doing squats and calf raise, the place where my body touches the bar and the machine hurts really bad. For squats, I can't put too much weight because the bar puts so much pressure on the place in contact. And for calf raise, my shoulder area will hurt after doing them since it is pressing down while I am doing it.
Is this normal? due to weak lower body? I can see a thin red line around my upper back/shoulder area, my friend said it might be muscle tear? Any suggestion on how to correct these?

Forearm exercises are not needed IMO...the deadlifts will surely take care of that.
for squats, they make a pad that you can put on the bar, feel free to use it.
For the calves, do them on the leg press, I've had much better results on that.
As for the red line, if it gets worse, and doesn't heal. See a doctor.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

they are called calve raises, you just push up with your toes really hard and hold it for ten seconds for 2x10. Do it with heavy weight. Trust me, it works.
When I did calf raises it was using the smith machine and some aerobic steps. Stood on the edge of the step and unracked the bar like in a squat. Held the bottom of the negative for 10 seconds - that was a killer.
