"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
 

"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.

Start with a weight that you can do. Obviously deadlifts won't feel very good, just like your legs don't always feel too great.

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.

Actually, weightlifting should eventually be comfortable. Being strong makes doing lesser things more comfortable.

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.
