"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.

I was on the sit down leg press and I was doing fine (and going down slightly below parallel) when at the last rep (I did 2 sets of 12 270 and then 285) when at the last rep I out of no where got a splitting/throbbing headache in the back of my skull.

It knocked me silly for a moment there and I could feel it throbbing.. fortunately it subsided to a degree so I could finish my workout but it hasnt' fully gone away even now.

The trainers there said it was a pulled muscle in my neck which I think is bs. A good friend of mine thinks perhaps I pinched a nerve in my lower back during the exercise. I'm guessing that could be a possibility (in which case I need to examine my form big time on that exercise apparently).

Have you ever had that happen before? Any clue what the hell that was and how to never have it happen again? lol
 

"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.

Could be high blood pressure, forgot to breathe maybe?

Bruised blood vessel could be it as well.

Either way, lower the weight for a week or two and it'll go away.

I had that once, while doing 20 rep squats. Vision went white, splitting headache, tingly arms. I might have pinched a nerve in my neck at the time.

Make sure your posture is good and you're relaxed when doing the movement. Emphasize breathing and really focus on the "in...out" of it. It usually clears within a week or week and a half.

cheers mate

I hit the water fountain in between every exercise just about so I don't think dehydrated is it, and as for my breathing.. I can't honestly recall my breathing during the leg press.. but I'm pretty good about those things. I think my breathing was good.

Quicksilver:
Wow.. everything went white? Now that must have been scary for ya. Sounds similar to what happened to me so thats likely it.

As for posture, I was trying to arch my back so it wasn't rounded at the bottom.. I'll double check my posture and work on the breathing, thanks.

Yeah it was scary.

Rather than guessing what good posture would be, the best way to have it is to squeeze your glutes and tighten your abs. It's impossible to round your back or arch it too much, when squeezing the glutes. Your abs will balance out that force. Focus on tightening glutes, tightening abs, and keeping your airways open. that should fix any issues.

good luck bro
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"I was going slightly below parallel and this was a bit tough. Weight thing that never happened to me before is the last rep out of no where I got a bad headache and a throbbing/pounding in the back of my skull.. wth is that about? (I'll post a thread about this)"

Check your breathing when doing it (breathe out when pushing). When I've done 15 reps at high weights I would go almost deaf for a couple minutes.

Thanks! I'll do that. :)

handyandy:
I took some tylenol when I woke up at 4am last night and when I woke up at 10am the headache was gone so that seemed to do the trick. I'm ok now.

Itallion stallion:
I'm usually pretty good with my breathing.. but I don't remember if I did that time. In any case I'll make sure to watch my breathing. Thanks man.

That happened to me one time when I was doing dumbbell squats. Really f*cking bad headache I think in the front of my head, or maybe it was all over. it would come after the third or so rep in each set and stay for a couple minutes.

Well it was gone until during breakfast this morn I sneezed and the throbbing headache came right back. Must have an irritated/sensitive nerve along my spine somewhere. Hopefully it'll calm down in a week or so as quick said.

this happened to me when i was doing an upper chest workout. My head got this throbbing pain in the back of the skull. It took me 2-3 weeks to recover, i believe it was a blood vessel or a pinched nerve. I went to a doctor and he checked for signs of a TIA and stroke.

Take 2 weeks off of lifting.


what sucked is i couldn't get head because every time i would get that throbbing pain in my head (the one on my shoulders).

do you have the same pain when your having sex, bj, jack off?
