"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

the video was choppy on my computer so I can't really give an opinion on the form, however the numbers say it's a good lift for your size and age. the grip strength and endurance (since I could make out you weren't using straps, bout the only thing I could see lol) are also impressive.

thanks - ice what do you mean "dont drop the bar"?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Could someone explain how to execute a deadlift to me? It looks like its just the same as a squat except the bar is in front of you and so you use your back more than your legs. Also it seems you are supposed to bring the bar to a complete stop on the floor between reps. Is that all there is to it?

Nice! one question though, how are you suppose to grip the bar for a deadlift? overgrip/undergrip or bit of both?

double overhand is standard competition grip but over/under is stronger so you can go heavier on it.~|[DJ Neubie]|~ said:

Over/under (alternate grip) is MUCH stronger. I have no idea why, but it is. Probably puts your body at some weird mechanical advantage. I couldn't hold on to 280lbs for more than 3 reps until I switched grips - now I don't even think about the grip.~|[DJ Neubie]|~ said:
Double overhand standard competition? What do you mean by that? All the WRs are set with an alternate grip ...

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Re:
It does have to do with the mechanics. Hands are more powerful in the underhand, rathern than the overhand in most ways.
Moreover it's 4 fingers, to 1 thumb, so there's a slight imbalance if you put both hands the same way. The opposing grips lock things in place to the best of your gripping ability.
Going heavier helps to build good forearms. For me, that's the first things to go.
Someone mentioned somewhere else that they "lean" back. I'd be careful. The deadlift is a standing position, not a "lean" back position, especially at the high weights some lift. If you're lifting heavy, just getting the bar up for 5+ reps will be enough to work your back thoroughly. And if you saw the videos attached this one, then you can see what wonders come of PLing. If those guys could drop weight, they'd be ripped. Most can't get super thing, hence they guys of that size are attracted to PL...their genetic structure lends itself to being naturally big and the excess fat acts as padding, provides a strength boost, and decreases some of the distance you go on those major lifts. It isn't advised to do so, but for these guys, being scrawny wouldn't add an advantage they desire to have.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Everyone - thanks
Going for 350 x whatever this Friday, but I won't be taping it (I'll be doing it at a gym while I'm on vacation). I actually set a pretty sick squat PR today (for me anyway) which I taped, but I don't have time to upload/edit it right now. It's worth the wait thoughDrum&Bass said:
Yea, that's typical university gym for ya. There are a few big dudes, but I very rarely see them.Cruise said:

lol .. yea gonna have to watch it with those bear hugs. on the flip side, it's easier to toss girls around. they seem to like that
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
