"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Headache during bench?

Has anyone ever gotten like a knot of pain in the back of their neck during bench? I feel it when i exhale (even if its not much weight at all) during the middle of the workout and it usually hurts for about 10 minutes before it goes away. A friend of mine had the same thing and stopped excercising because of it...now he's working out again and it's gone. The pain is at the point where my neck joins my head.

I googled it and have read that it could be a migraine or just some random obscure disease. Go figure.
 

"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.

I had this, but very minor, a little while ago.

Just stretch before you do it. (tilt head back and forth, circles, etc.)
And remember to breathe correctly. I was told it was a cramp or something, but stretching and learning to breathe in and out properly helped me.

thanks for the advice; i usually don't warm up with anything but i start off with some easy reps to get me ready for my main ones...i'll try some stretching beforehand. Also, I do push my head into bench, but that's only during the heavy stuff...i get the pain even when i'm warming up...also during pushups once which is kinda wierd.

Fill your stomach with air, not your chest.
