"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

So I hadn't worked out in a few weeks, and I went back about a week ago, and they completely got rid of all the freeweight benchpress, and dumbbells over 50 lbs. This is terrible.

I mean they replaced all of it with machines, but I always read that you can't really gain big by working out on machines.

So either I switch gyms (which would suck as I only pay 7.50 a month for this one) or figure out how to do all my excersises with 50lb or less dumbbells.

Suggestions?

I'm esp wondering about bench, squats, big excersizes that I used to be able to do.

They have the squat machines, where the bar is on a track, but is that any good?
 

"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.

Take every weight and decent machine in this gym to its maximum, grind them down until you've conquered every one, then change gyms (if you want to save some money, if sub-50lb dumbbells are too easy for you then yes, change immediately).

Wow, that is REALLY p*ssy and pathetic.

Change gyms immediately. Being in such a p*ssy environment is only going to hurt your gains.

I hate how people underestimate machines so much. Granted, there's plenty which're crappy but you can still make progress on some of them. And once you stagnate on free weights (you can't keep increasing weights all the time, eventually you WILL have to use a machine of some sort) what then?

Once your Hammer Strength chest press is at 150kg you won't be worrying about your pec size will you?
 

"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.

i think it's best to keep a balance between machines and free weights.

last summer my private gym/leisure suite decided it would replace the bench and bbs with a multi-purpose machine; by multi purpose i mean it did everything. apart from that the dbs only went up to 10kg.

as for "squats on the track" or the smith machine i think you're talking about, i prefer doing my squats on that and i've been making slow gains on it over the past few months. (70kg*4 to 95kg*4)
