"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.
Bench Press?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
No spotter = playing it safe, not as intense of a workout.
A spotter may not be required though, it depends on your goal. If you just want to cut, or if you're aiming for muscular endurance, you will probably be doing more sets of lighter weights and can get away with not having a spotter.
If you are powerlifting or bulking, you're going to have to go heavy with low reps, closer to your max. And having a spotter is very beneficial in these circumstances.
There's no evidence saying that going to failure is beneficial for strength gain so I don't think I'm detracting much from the workout by doing that.
You're playing a very dangerous game. I used to do the same thing (anticipate my last rep, roll the bar off my chest if I fail) until one time my arm collapsed under the bar without warning, and the bar came down on my face. Luckily I managed to slip my head out from underneath it. Had the bar landed any lower I wouldn't have been able to get my head out from under it, and I'd be dead.mikeyb said:
If you work out at home, get a power rack or something that will keep you from dieing when you finally do misjudge your limit.
"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.
Lust said:i know, bad habit. they don't "cut", more cardio does, but muscular endurance and cutting go hand in hand in my mind.
