“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.

My high school's weight room used to have a couple of those blue "manta ray" shoulder-fitted devices designed for squatting. Now, the gym I frequent has no such thing, and I have to either deal with heavy bar on my shoulders or use a towel as a cushion.

Would you guys advise against using such a crutch to soften the bar, as it does make it a little easier to balance and execute a squat, or would you recommend doing whatever is more comfortable?

Thanks for your input.

I use a few pair of my socks and wrap them in the center of the bar and this seems to cushion the weight. Some might even use duct tape to hold cloth around the center to help cushion the weight.

In answer to your question hell we humans are skin and bones and muscle so anything we can use to help ease the discomfort of heavy Squats I don't see anything wrong with it and I don't think it's sissy to cushion it either and if anyone thinks otherwise I'll bet he never Squats.

I stopped using the cushion thing about a year ago. It hurt at first, but I got used to it. Working out your traps will help, though.

It's not supposed to feel comfortable. It's supposed to feel like a heavy steel bar on your back. Work on your traps if you have none.
 

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

I'd rather learn to drive a stick than begin with an automatic.

Likewise, despite the lack of comfort, I'm going to try to adapt to a plain bar on my back instead of one with padding. Better for the long term methinks.

1) put the bar lower on your back, if it hurts, it's not at the right place
2) the bar should be on your upper traps, not on your neck.

I squat more than 2x bodyweight without a towel. My skin is thin. I can do it you can do it.
