Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

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.

Are Hack Squats meant to be this easy?

just did my workout, and completed hack squats, 5x5, 57kg.

I did it with ease, and am at a bit of a problem due to the fact my weights go upto about 60kg.

The only body part i can feel being worked when i'm doing these is my abs on the 1st set, then it all feels really easy to me, and i dont feel as though im benefiting from it.

Am i doing these wrong? Will post up a form check vid in the near future if required.

post might not make a whole lotta sense, its late.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I recently started 5x5s on squats, and I didn't feel like they were working. I'm switching back to 3x10s, but I can keep my heart rate down with the 5x5s easier. So, maybe you need more weight or switch to 3x10.

With 5x5s you do the most you can, but you do 5 reps per 5 sets and increase 5 pounds when you feel like you can do more the next week. You don't go up in weight during your sets, so try doing more weight, but stay at that weight for the 5 sets.

I did 5x5s on leg extensions and saw a huge difference because I forced myself to do as much weight as I thought I could do.
