"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.

"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.

Most likely a rounded back on deadlifts, bent over rows or the T bar rowing (unless chest supported)...

rest your back, and eat lots of proteins and carbs with alow glycemic index while you are resting to reenergize your muscles.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

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.

If you are going heavy on the deadlift, you must keep the volume low (high intensity, low sets and reps). And 1-2 times a week max.

For everything else (including deadlifts) make sure you keep good form.

Thanks for the help guys, i reduced down the amount of sets I was doing and went down in weights and started checking my form better. no problems and feels much better , been going up in weights again.

lorekeeper: underdeveloped abs? must have looked over that one at first when i looked back at the replies for help. I dont really do any sort of ab work (weird i know but i really dont care if i ever get the 6pack was my thinking) ill look into it now.

Strengthening your lower abs helps alleviate a bunch of strain in your lower back. I have a herniated disc from deadlifting improperly and with too much weight. CORRECT YOUR FORM ASAP unless you want perpetual lower back pain
