"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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
