"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.

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.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.
