"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.

Anyone here experience joint pain doing skull crusher with an ezbar? I feel like only my joint area is getting all the workout. Now when I use my dumbell, its a differnt story. It work much better for me.

I bought the ezbar just for skull crusher but I think I'll just stick with dumbell :(
 

"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.

i stopped doing them years ago because of similar pain. I am not sure if my form was off or if its just the nature of the exercise. There are so many tricep exercises that finding an effective substitute is painless.

Dont do them with a bar. Always do them with a Dumbell and dont bend your elbows past 90 degrees.

Is this when you're standing? Or the skull crunches?
 

"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.

How are you doing them??

I had some joint/elbow pain and shoulder pain until I rotated the exercise back a little with some reading I did. In essence, push the bar straight off your chest, and then with your arms straight, move it backwards (toward your head) about 6 inches, so that your arms are at a semi-angle... this is your starting and ending position for each rep. Takes a lot of direct downward pressure off the shoulders and the elbows.
