"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.
 

"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.

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.

"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.

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
