"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.

Bruised Tailbone - Can't Squat, Deadlift, Power Clean

About a week ago I was being stupid when I was drunk and hopped a fence right onto a patch of ice, which led to me bruising my tailbone. It seemed like it healed alright and would only hurt when I did squats. So all last week MWF I did squats and it only hurt when I was doing them.

However, today when squatting it got really bad and the pain has persisted throughout the day to the point where I'm looking like an idiot when walking and have to sit on one side of my ass. Yeah, it sucks.

So I can't squat, deadlift or power clean for at least a week. What can I do in place of these that doesn't involve me squatting down so low so I can keep working out while this heals?

See my thread for my program if you want, but it's the Starting Strength program. I don't want to go to the gym just to bench and press, so what can I replace these with for the time being?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Don't squat/dead/clean/anything that makes it hurt until its better

Find a machine that doesn't cause it pain, even leg extensions for the mean while.

Replace your squat deads with 3x25 light leg extensions (assuming no pain)
followed by 3x15 light pull throughs (assuming no pain)

dude, you've injured your self.

Take the week off, yeah it sucks but you need to take breaks occasionally from any program and this seems like a good time to do it.

You have YEARS of weight lifting ahead of you, why risk aggrevating an injury, the extent of which you dont really know, for the sake of three workouts?
