"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.

Yeah, unfortunately not those kind of 'roids. I'm talking about hemorrhoids here. Anytime I do squats or even leg presses, it happens. I've had a trainer show me proper form, but to no avail.

Anyone have a similar problem and have any tips?

Sorry for the graphic post, but this is really becoming a pain in my azz.
 

"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.

WTF??? :confused:

Do you "vacate" fully before lifting?

If I'm about to squat and there is even a trace of fecal matter at the gates, I let it go swimming before I'll lift a thing.

you sure youre using the right muscles to squat/leg press? should mostly be your legs mucles and glutes and back. you probably shouldnt be contracting the muscles you use to crap, or, like youve witnessed the pressure will result in hemhorroids

yeah, your trainer mightve shown you proper form but its up to you to contract the proper muscles, and no one knows that except you
