“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

hey do I need a spotter even if I work with dumbbells? It doesn't seem to make sense to have one since they can't grab the bar as there is no bar.

No need for spotters on dumbbell lifts, unless you are doing dumbbell floor presses.

When I do DB presses, I usually don't need a spotter. My only problem is that while doing them, I have a problem getting the dumbbells in the initial position. I can easily use 40lb dumbbells for my chest if I am lying down and someone hands me the dumbbells, but if I am doing it alone, I have to use 35lber coz I find it hard to get it to the intial position. Any suggestions on how to do that? I usually keep them on my thighs and then lie down and start doing my exercises.

I alternate between incline bench press, flat bench press and floor press as my Max Effort (ME) upper body lift. If you are weak at the middle and top of your bench press then it will definitely help improve both these areas. Taken directly from the link I mentioned previously:

"This one is a winner for many reasons:

It is a great lockout builder for the bench press.

It is great for those who have shoulder problems because of the limited range of motion and full shoulder stability (the floor is wider than a bench).

It is great for developing starting strength because of the pause and release at the bottom. You go from a static to dynamic contraction.

It is a great chest builder because most the work is done in the pec building zone of the dumbbell press."

hmm I see. I think I will use the bench still. I too do incline bench presses, but I'll try the floor ones some day when I go to a real gym with clean floors.
