"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.

I was wondering if I should continue to work in my home gym and buy more equipment or save money and join a local gym. I heard from a friend that using free weights won't allow you to gain significant muslce mass because you can't do BB press and Squats. I told him that I do single-leg squats and incline DB press but he told me that those don't really benefit mass. So should I continue to lift heavy at home or should I join a gym for 30 bucks a month? Give reasons why the other one is better please!

P.S.

If anyone has a good workout plan using free weights please post it.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

As far as I know, a barbell is considered free weights. I think you're friend has been mislead.

Free weights, in my opinion and as far as I've been taught, are as follows:

Barbells
Dumbells
Plates
Bodyweight Exercises

Machines such as smith machine, leg press, or a machine/cable that restricts your movement to a set path is not free weight.

If I had the money and the room, I would totally go with a home gym. You pick your own music, your own attire, your own scenery, your own weight selection, your own exercises, your own schedule, etc.
