I was doing rack deadlifts for a while (which = more weight) with straps. Now that i'm back to deadlifts and lowered the weight, i don't even need the straps even though i did before. It was at the point where i couldn't budge the weight without straps. Now i haven't even been doing alternating grip. People act like straps are doing 100% of the work.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Critique my routine.

"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.

I'd like to re-iterate going ass to grass with squats rather than to parallel. Much better all round in terms of joints, muscular development, impressiveness etc. Here is a great article :

I actually printed that out and put it on the wall of my gym but sadly some morons took it down. Probably the same guys that don't squat and told me not to go below parallel and that I should use the smyth machine at all times.
Also, much like you in March I think it was I was having trouble with 125kgx5 (deadlifts) as my forearms were giving out. I didn't want to use straps as I wanted my forearms to develop as well. Warboss told me that straps would help rather than hinder and me being the beginner I shut up and listened. Now I have done 162.5kgx3 rack deads without straps, so yeh use the straps.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
