"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.

Hey guys,

Whenever I do stiff legged deadlifts, I straighten out the natural arch along my lower back. Am I supossed to keep this natural arch throughout the lift, or is it OK to flatten it?

I'm concerned because lately I have had a sharp pain in the posterior (back) end of my waist, and I suspect this straightening of the lower back arch is the problem.

Thanks!
 

"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.

you need to keep the back in a neutral position, which means preserving the natural arch, not flattening out the lower back.

it's easy to try to do too much with stiff-legged deadlifts, which is why I generally don't recommend them to anyone.

True, but it is a good exercise overall.

Here is what you do - slightly bend your knees and stick your ass backwards more.

I try to keep my back more flatter than curved, but that's just me. Also, do not go too far down (past your knees), you should feel good tension with enough weight without going down too far.

I do dumbells 90 in each hand for this.
