"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.

Why are free weights considered more efficient for bulking up? I have been using machines as well as free weights for about 4 weeks and the results have been good. Is there any specific reason to cut out the machines? If so, is there any point in the future that would be ideal to begin using machines again?

restricted rom (un natural movements)
can cause injury
free weights recruit more muscle fibres
Compound movements can only be performed with free weights

basically, the machines which are worth a sh1t are:

*Leg press (Alternative for squats)
*Calf raise machine (calf raises on block with dumbells superior)
*Lat pulldown (Pullups superior but good if you cant do pull ups)

I'd disagree with the leg press and lat pulldowns. For lats, yes, pullups are superior, but the pull downs hit a bit different. For legs??? Never cut out squats, but the leg press are a good easy way to isolate those quads.. and kill them after a buncha squats.

Machines Isolate, don't use stabilizer muscles, and some are pure crap.

Free weights rock, and face it, you look more manly. So don't be a wuss, grab some real weight.
