"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.

When i squat, i cant bend my knees enough so i can fully execute the squat. This is due to the fact that when i go to squat my tibialis anterior really burns and prevents me from moving and further downwards towards the floor. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

is your form right? Feet shoulder width, toes pointed 30 degress to outside, chest out, head straight?

Hmmm sounds like it could be a stiffness/tightness issue. You may want to consider stretching it, perhaps Stronglifts has some advice on a suitable stretch.
Just a suggestion, good luck...

Yeah, im using the right form. And it may be due to tightness as I've got very tight hamstrings, maybe the other parts of my legs are tight too :(.

It sounds to me like your weight is coming too far foward (towards the front of your feet) if you are getting a burning sensation in your tib. anterior. Make sure to keep your butt down with weight going through your heels when you squat.

A good exercise to test your form is to place a chair behind you that is low enough so that your legs break 90 degrees when you squat. Your goal should be to keep your back straight and sit in the chair and then press back up. I suggest trying with lighter weight than usual.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Some tips:
-start with an empty barbell, let your body get used to squatting deep
-focus on your squat technique. Knees out, heels on the floor, no bouncing at bottom.
-stretch your hamstring: back straight, butt back, bend over, try to touch your toes
-stretch your ankles: stand on steps, heels of the steps, let it stretch
-both stretches for 3x20sec 4times a week.

Good luck.

I second the chair idea, my instructor taught me how to squat with a chair metaphor.
