"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.

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

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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
