"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near 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'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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
