She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
If you don't like it, stay out of the thread. This isn't a thread for bodybuilders.Originally posted by WORKEROUTER
i personally think those kind of competitions are stupid. lifting such heavy weight is not really good for your body. its true that lifting weights is healthy overall, but going overboard is definately not.
plus, have you seen the powerlifting guys? theyre usually some short squatty guys who look like they have a hernia. not something id wana strive for.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Not sports, but they require a TON of strength. Those guys are amazing. Some of the cirque de soleil guys do crazy stuff too like a turkish getup with a human weight, or a bottoms up press with two 72-lb kettlebells, one on top of the other.Originally posted by Jin
well, I do circus arts and trapeze... I dunno if you consider those strength spors per say but they reqire you to have a large power to weight ratio... as well as finess and body-awareness in the air...
very hard to develope and something very few, few people can do and do well...
Best,
Jin
Squat: haven't maxed in awhile, probably 270 lbs (relatively crappy)Originally posted by Torn Victor
I used to powerlift, but I don't really have the correct body type for competition, nor would I be interested in competing.
What are your numbers?
