"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Today was back day and I did 4 sets on the deadlift.

Set #1 135lbs x 12.
Set #2 135lbs x 10
Set #3 225lbs x 10 (felt easy, could have gone for more reps)
Set #4 315 x 6

On the last set, I struggled at first just picking the weight up to even begin with. The first time I tried it slipped out of my left hand. I had to really grip it insanely tightly and then go 100% focus lion mode. I do stiff-legged deadlifts so I take the weight all the way down my shins and drag it back up again. I did completely clean reps with a full extension at the top. I was completely wasted after the last set and literally rushed to get the weight out of my hands after the final rep was up. I felt great after!

Nice! You could probably do more if you used a different warm up scheme.
What sort of warm-up routine? Also, I don't do my DL's first in my workout so that is possibly a factor also.

Charm, I bet you that you could probably get a single with 350-365 if you did a 1RM at the start of your workout.

I get the best results from deads when I do them at the start of the routine...think about it. Deadlifts use LOTS of different muscles, and you're obviously throwing around a substantial amount of weight for a significant amount of reps. When you do other movements before deads your metabolic reserve is somewhat drained, and depending on the intensity at which you're training coupled with the recovery you're allowing yourself, your nervous system will be taxed as well, hence your max strength/power output is gonna be compromised. For me grip becomes a big thing when I do deads after other stuff. I think you said you use straps, so I guess this isn't a huge issue.

Why not try doing them at the start of a routine, after a warm-up and report back as to the changes you see...I think you can do a lot more than you think you can. What are your stats?
 

“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.
