"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.

I'm trying to start deadlifting, and I'm looking at all sorts of articles and threads here on how to do deadlifting properly, and I still can't tell if I'm doing it right. I read that you're not supposed to feel any pain in your lower back, but I can't do it without feeling it a little bit there. How much are you supposed to feel in your lower back while/after doing a deadlift?

Also, when you're fully extended during the deadlift, are your knees supposed to be straight and locked or bent?

Another thing, about your back- is it basically supposed to be slightly arched throughout the whole motion?

"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.
