"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

When doing the deadlift, if I feel anything in my lower back at any time am i doing it wrong?
Also after the exersise I can feel something in my lower back. Its not pain but it feels like my back got a bit of the workout too.
Iv watch the correct deadlift performed a number of times and Im pretty sure I am doing it right.


Basicly I am asking should my lower back feel 100%, as if I havnt lifting a thing?


just a little paranoid about how easily it is to injure your back(or so I hear).
please enlighten me
 

"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.

If your hamstrings are weaker than your back, it's not unusual to be limited by your hamstrings and have your back not feel worked.

Otherwise, no, if you're properly balanced you should feel it in your lower back.
