"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.

Have any of you ever gotten a case of the heebie-jeebies while doing squats?

I was 3 reps into my second set tonight when I was absolutely paralyzed with the idea that I could fall down and hurt myself. I wasn't even fatigued or breathing hard yet. I was too scared to go down for rep 4 and had to put the bar back on the rack. I took about a 10 minute break before giving it another go. I had to add the clamps to the ends of the bar before I felt comfortable getting under the weight. I put on a laser focus for the rest of the night but it was an act of sheer will to just duplicate my previous leg workout. I couldn't bring myself to add weight. I've still got the shakes.

Do I just shrug it off and hope it doesn't happen again? Take a week off legs? See a head shrinker?

I'm really weirded out.

That's kind of like me with hand-stand pushups against the wall - fright moment.

Just shrug it off. You'll get used to it.

As long as you have a fear of injury when it comes to training you will not make good of progress as you could if you didn't have the fear. The only way to avoid getting injured is to shoot yourself now and die, cuz either you can get hit with a car, shot, jumped, thrown off the building, whatever comes to your mind, or let the weight fall, it's upto you.

If you are using a power rack, there should be 2 horizontal bars, 1 on each side, about knee high, so in case you can't get up you can put the bar on there. If you don't have that then you should have a spotter behind you, and if you ever can't get up they should put their arms around you (hands on your pecs) and help bring you up.
 

"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.
