I have been getting these every week for a few months now. After I do squats I get red marks (popped blood vessels I suppose) on my traps. How do I prevent them?
 

"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.

You could either:

A. Pad the bar
B. Use your arms more so the weight is distributed partially on your arms rather than all on your traps
C. Not worry about it

Using your arms is a big no-no.

You can pad the bar or you can lower the weight. Really, what you should be doing is not worrying about it. Padding the bar is for pussies.

Yeah, don't pad the bar. You want the weight as close to your body as possible for better control and drive. Make sure you tilt your head back over the bar. This prevents trap markings, but I can't explain why.

If you're lifting heavy, there's nothing that'll prevent the red marks (except maybe a pad, but again, I dont' recommend it). They're just a fact of squatting. Suck it up.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Word. Your traps ARE YOUR PADS.

A pad changes the weight distrubtion on your body. Red marks are normal. But make sure you don't feel pain. Read up on how the powerlifters hold the bar. There are so many things that people don't understand in squatting (like blocking).......

Haha.

Yes, once you get used to it, the marks won't happen anymore. Don't even worry about it. Unless you are getting them from squating light weight.

I AM a powerlifter (and a decent one at that). And if I'm going heavy, I get red marks. There's no way to avoid them.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Right. I wasn't implying powerlifters don't get red marks, but that the lifters know their shyt on proper techniques........
