"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I disagree man. Modern medicine today is only concerned with profits. The clinics are just pushing drugs which most of the time aren't needed. I've never been to a back specialist so they might be different. I don't feel pain right now but if i try squts tomorrow it will be killing me. isn't a little back pain common when lifting weights?

yup. That's exactly why a person's life expectancy is about twice what it was four hundred years ago. Cause modern medicine is pushing pills that 'arent needed'.

Dude. Enlist the knowledge of a professional who has studied the biological makeup of a human back and specializes in back pain for a living.

Or, go have a guy stick a bunch of needles in you. Cause THAT'LL fix a sprained back.

Rest

Ibuprofen

While resting read up/ watch video of squat form.

Once feeling no pain start stretching, doing full deep knee bends with bar only. Check form in mirror or better video.

Begin a 'core' strengthening programme

Start with a conservative weight and build up the poundage gradually.

Never lose your form even on the hardest set.
 

"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.

Also if you go to a doctor I'll tell you what they say-

Rest, take anti-inflammatorys and STOP lifting heavy weights.

Where ever I'm at
I had back problems before and I let it rest for a month and bought myself a weight-lifting belt.

I don't know about anyone else, but it helped.

The trend noawdays is away from using belts. The theory is it doesn't allow the back and abdomen muscles develop to maintain form.

When lifting, a strong contraction of the abs and maintaining a positive internal pressure through breathe control not only stablises the core but for some fancy reason increases your poundages too.

If you are doing more than triples, belt limits your breathing as well.

I'd exaggerate the pain to the doctor and if your doc is loose, try and get a prescription for some Vicodin(hydrocodone) or if your Dr is really loose maybe even a bottle of percocets...;)
