Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.

down to chest/shoulders. thats the rack. press directly up, once bar passes forehead, get your head under the bar. in the end the bar is behind your head. :D

Some people lower the bar to their chest, some people do it to chin level, some even to eye level. Find out what you can get away with. Chest level can be hard on some people's shoulders.

Is it okay for me to not put my head under the bar when the bar gets to around forehead level, or will this cause injury?

Whenever i've tried it i go flying backwards with 30+kg over my head :nervous:
 

"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.

control it, that's how you're supposed to do it. properly aligns spine with arms.
and don't ***** around and just rack onto the chest/delts.

Keep your elbows at or above 90 degrees. Anything lower just wreaks of shoulder injury. Everyone is different, so if you feel any pain (I'm not talking soreness I'm talking aching pain) in your shoulders, adjust your work out accordingly. Trust me, screwing up your shoulder is NOT worth it! It's an injury that can plague you the rest of your life.

I don't go past 90 degrees. I had a torn rotator cuff and you don't want that. Also remember to pull your shoulders back to line everything up.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Again, how do you do a Valsalva maneuver that way? If you are holding the weight at the top and you let your air out to breathe in, you are going to lose support right at the top part of the lift.
You're right. The time I tried it I felt a bit unstable at the top of the lift. I guess it would be similar to breathing during overhead squats.
