Hey. I have a question. I injured my rotator cuff i'm not sure for how long i wont be able to exercise. Obviously i will not be able to maintain my physique. This is taking a toll on my confidence. As i dont know what should i do? Having a good physique has always given me an advantage. What should i do? Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

lots of stuff u can do with rubber bands etc..

learn to work around it staying out of the gym is a bad idea

Its impossible to say how much, you need parallel universe and you being in worse shape in that univrse doing the same thing as you do now to compare
For instance assume you picked up 50 women in the last year, how can you know what would have been your results in all those picup situations if you were in worse shape? Impossible to tell.

It seems more of a confidence issue to you though, you can not look THAT worse by not being to execrize for a while.

My goal is defining anyways, so can i properly define my body using rubber bands etc? Since obviously ill still be doing cardio. And if i keep the weights down and repetitions up along with proper tempo could i still properly define?

rotator cuff does not mean you cannot do exercise completely.... cardio, leg weights, your core, or other non injured side

Women base off of the following: Visual Cues, Behavioral Cues, and Societal Cues.

Height, physical health, and physique are important but Social Status/Wealth and Resources are the most important.

If you are trying to pick up a playboy model you can be overweight as long as you compensate for it by being extremely rich and not of low value. Obviously she hasn't worked so hard in her life to end up with a .....tax accountant for example.

This is one thing I always wondered and many people wonder. "Aw...but women like rich guys...good looking guys...fast drivers etc"

It's true to some respect...but just because you are filthy rich and all this stuff, if your personality (aka ur social intelligence) is zero (assume you win the lottery as a fat low confidence person) you will probably not know how to handle the money...and even if you did you would come off as completely arrogant/bragging/etc due to your lack of social experience.

If there is one thing women hate, it is extreme insecurity. People who need good looks, money, or something to be happy are insecure. But ironically, those who have that and COULD be not insecure about losing it are the best choice for a hot woman...

Ironic but as Mystery says in Revelations DVD set. Fake it till you make it.

Buy Tudor Bompa's book Serious Strength Training. Everything you need is in there all the competitors at my gym apply his techniques and I've been using them only a few months (after training 20 years) and am noticing big changes.

go get an 8 pack (not the beer kind), chicks will go nuts

go light on shoulders and chest keep flexibility may even try Pilates or something diff

As someone mentioned earlier it is true the real issue is of confidence..Because ultimately it is your confidence that gets you success in any field, no matter how good you might be at doing something. So i guess my real question is how do you get to the state where you do strive to achieve having a good physique, money, fame etc and on the other hand they would not matter if you lost them? Your confidence stays intact. I'm a student/musician and i have worked really hard to achieve good gpas, my skill as a musician, physique and even status. One thing i've come to realize is the more i focus on achieving these things it takes a toll on my personality. Can anyone suggest why? Because previously during my highschool days(i'm in college now) when i wasn't this much result oriented i got laid a lot more and had more confidence. Shouldn't getting more results or being more result oriented add to the confidence?

Right...well that really is the irony. All of these things come at a price. If you are striving for these other areas, you will not necessarily end up like Mystery in a position where you do this for your work and are able to keep everything else in tact and being seen as living this amazing lifestyle.

Most people focus on grades, all this stuff and focus on the end-game of life: marriage, kids, house, mortgage, etc.

It is quite ironically funny that human society focuses on all these other things and expects one day someone will "Find them" based on all these things. But really, to have these things, you need to also be able to be social at the same time and work on that - which can negatively affect your GPA and what not or health in some way if you get emotionally attached.

The key is to be cold first and foremost in the pick up game. Cold to any results socially. Shows non-neediness. I truly believe that people working so much on their aspect of getting rich because they believe it will get them so many women and laid (aka being a doctor, engineer, what have you) are usually the most needy of them all. Now if you genuinely cannot give a fuck about the stereotypes of profession and what people believe about money as an "auto-fuck" then you will be fine and better off....you will truly BE confident.

But a lot of people are doing things for the wrong reasons. First and foremost, decide if you are doing what you want for yourself. I know too many people trying things for other reasons (aka the fear of loss if they get it and lose it or the ivy league bubble).

Once you do this, you will be fine. Like a friend of mine who wants to be an engineer cause he looks up to his dad. He goes to the gym to be healthy..he jet skis and really he keeps up with his friends. He is social too which affects him where he never has time to pull off a great GPA thing. So it is what it is...

Obviously the irony is...when you rely on something too much in your life to "Get you women" you are a bonafide loser and girls do not want that. Sure you can be socially savvy to sleep with them if you play it right and make it seem like those things don't matter to you...but long-term wise you are really fucked or will end up with someone just because they want to essentially use you for your fame/money (these women ARE out there and that is their end goal..not commitment).

Dude I haven't been to a gym in 7 months and im a tad bit over weight and I still get laid 2-3 times a week while single. I can't say it doesn't help to have a nice body because it does but it isn't mandatory. I know plently of jacked dudes that can't get laid for shit.

So what is the secret then? If you want to achieve and also keep your confidence up as well? Isn't there a way of balancing all of it?

In reality, no. You give and take from all areas of life. But yea, you can achieve most of something but you have to keep in mind the sacrifices some shit takes. To be in NASA, you aren't going to exactly be going "Sarging"

That's just how it is.
