"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.

"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.

How much do you guys deadlift? I pulled 425 yesterday.
You might be doing too many reps though. Maybe instead of 3 sets of 8, try 3-4 sets of 3-5?
You're not trying to train your back to failure, after all. We sort of need it.
"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.
Actually, weightlifting should eventually be comfortable. Being strong makes doing lesser things more comfortable.Originally posted by RaWBLooD
if you think weightlifting is supposed to be comfortable, then you are looking for comfort in the wrong place, go get a massage or something.
Momentary discomfort for long-term comfort. This is in movement alone. You also have social comfort and health-comfort from the appearance and lower body-fat and knowledge of your greater strength to move the world.
Also, feeling either higher plateaus of tension or of fatigue each have their own associated psychophysiological comforts... more like thrills I guess, associated with them.
If you're always uncomfortable weightlifting, always feeling pain, always feeling sore, then something is wrong, and you need to change what you're doing.
Health is the #1 goal in weightlifting, not looks guys. If looks are your priority, reevaluate your life.
