“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.

You know the tube like rubber cushion some people use when squatting?

Maybe you guys know/do this already but take it and put it on the bar when your doing flat and incline bench. This way when your making sure your doing the full ROM your not injuring your chest bone.

I saw some guy doing this today and I was like.. ****ing genius! :D

I know that you can bench onto foam and it takes a lot of the strain of off the shoulders...

To be honest though I don't think the above is necassary, as you should be lowering the bar in a controlled fashion.

you could retract your shoulderblades in a hanging pull up position to strengthen them, and hence you'll have a more stable foundation for your bench.

just something I remember reading somewhere, it seems to have helped my bench a lil.

Good idea. I guess it could be good for eccentric concentric (super fast) presses.

Well I know for me that there have been days where I thought I was only touching my chest but later found I has bruises on it. I look at it like an insurance policy. Sure controlled is the way to go.. but I figure if I sightly misjudge the cushion will work as a decent backup plan to keep from beating up my chest.

or try manning up! jks :D

not sure how big those cushion pads are at your gym, but the ones at mine would barely be long enough. Or just do as Kerpal suggested.

Next time you do deads, before you lift make sure the bar is right up next to your shins. Sounds counter intuitive but it works. I was having the same problem as you but I read this on stronglifts (somewhere on there.. I'm tired or I'd find you the link) that pointed this out to me. I made said change and now my shins don't get bruised NEARLY as much now.

Your 160lbs bench will not cause your ribcage to collapse, I assure you.

When I played football we used a 4" thick foam block on our chest that served two purposes. One, it kept us from dropping the weight on us, like you said, and two, it protected our shoulders from the heavy weight. Bringing the weight all the way down to your chest puts alot of stress on your shoulders, and I don't recommend doing it.

Either way, you shouldn't be bouncing the weight. Slow and controlled negatives are the way to go.
