"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Dave Tate or any good powerlifter for that matter are awesome. Too bad most people still believe those ****ty old bodybuilding myths.

That maybe true if you train in Powerlifting.

Otherwise he is saying what Rippletoe is teaching to the public (for general strength training) is wrong.

re: elbow depth / basic setup.

Remember that elbow depth is also dependent on grip width, since most people dont use a wide grip like PLers, that might explain why the elbow depths are often lower.

By teaching people to increase their grip width, which decreases the ROM, of course you're going to put up more weight.

Nevertheless, good video.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
