"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I am new to deadlifts and im not sure how much weight to use. Should i do trial and error? Cuz even then i wouldn't know how heavy to go, should it exhaust the crap outta me like squats do? or r u not supposed to overdo it on deadlifts. My lower back has been sensitive in the past, i have tweaked it doin simple household things in the past in my teens and early 20's so im afraid to go to hard on them.

I am 5'6'', 155 lbs.
Been working out since July i'm up to:

Bench - 125
Incline bench - 85
squats - 165
curls - 25
skull crushers - 50
Shoulder press - 100

Anybody have a guess how much the avg deadlift to begin with would be for a guy of my size and strength? ballpark figure?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Just keep adding weight until you start to really feel the strain. If you keep proper form through the lift, than your back shouldn't be an issue. Start out light until you get your form down than start putting on the pounds.

Add weight until you can do 5 or more reps and still keep proper form.

Deadlifts aren't an exercise you do to failure.
