"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.

“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.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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
