"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.

How low for shoulder press?

Any benifit of going really low on the shoulder press? Like hands all way down to chin level/just above the shoulder. I think that would work out more muscles/stabilizers the same way going as low as possible on squats does.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Yeah only going down to ear level isn't gonna give you the full effect. barbell presses are really great. Helps your delts and upper pecs. It really makes you feel like a man doing the military shoulder press with a bar.

That looks like it'd ****ing kill when it drops on his backs.
 

"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.

With a barbell till the ears, otherwise it hurts the rotator cuff apparently.

What about the whole "FULL ROM" deal?

I meant by bringing it to the point where the bar almost rests on your back/chest (whichever way you're doing it, i hate the behind the back version, hurts like a mofo) without actually resting it.

I feel its even more difficult than stopping halfway, and to me, it's like comparing a full squat to a || squat...granted, it's not nearly as big of a movement
