"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

We all know how freeweights are superior to machines in every way pretty much. But do those cable stands that you use for tricep pulldowns and crossovers, etc, count as freeweights, since you still have to stabalize and all?
 

"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.

They don't count as freeweight exercises, but there are not really freeweight alternatives for certain types of motions . Freeweight purists might argue with this, but IMO you won't be wasting time on certain cable exercises.
But there are certainly freeweight exercises that can work every muscle.

Other Examples:

Leg extension
Leg curl
Assisted pullups
Lat pulldowns
Assisted dips
