"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.

Would it be okay if i used 2 20kg oly plates on a standard 1" barbell?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Nah, the bar is only 7.5 kg, 1", unlike an oly bar which is 2.5".

The plate would be much too big for the hole, but as it will be for deadlifitng there wont be much spinning of plates involved.
