"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.

This past friday i decided to try some squats and deadlifts doing 140lbs 5sets of10, gotto admit it felt great doing these,something new for me.Well anyways i workout in the morning,but my point is in the afternoon around 6:30pm i started to feel really sore and around 2:45am i woke to pain in my lower back, i was hurting for 4 days.So one thing i did is bought myself a belt and started streching out more before lifting. Need Info.

NO PAIN,NO GAIN:cool:
 

"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.

Return that belt asap, its a waste of money. You won't need it until you are pulling numbers big numbers.

For you first couple weeks you will be sore as you are not used to training these muscles. Granted when you start you should go light, I would say just the bar with no weight. That was one of your mistakes.

For deadlifts watch this and apply - http://youtube.com/watch?v=MX8jgCFXYTU

And btw, why are you doing 5x10 for deadlifts/squats...are you crazy?

This workout is more suited for you....http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=125444

or Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe

Look up how to do everything, form is extremely important. You don't want to hurt yourself and end up in the hospital. Rippetoe's stuff on youtube is good to watch for learning proper form on lots of exercises. I highly recommend you video tape yourself and let us guys on here examine it for you so we know you are doing it right or get a powerlifter to watch you at your gym.

Remember to warm up sufficiently before doing the big compounds. What you felt was soreness because your muscles aren't used to that kind of tension, as Stallion stated. If you can lift those weights, then fine stick with them but forget using a belt. You don't need it. And you won't need it until you start pulling really heavy weights.

I'd go far and say that you might have hurt yourself doing 5 sets of 10 reps. That's WAY too many work sets. Stick to something basic like 2x5 or 3x5. You don't need to do 50 repetitions of these big exercises (or any for that matter).
