“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.

Has anyone had any trouble doing squats or deadlifts using a smith machine. My gym is getting one and I am getting tired of doing dumbell squats. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

How about barbell squats? the king of exercises. I would only suggest the smith machine if there is absolutely no way of doing the exercise with free weights. The fixed range of motion on the smith prevents the use of your stabilizer muscles.

Thanks for the advice but my gym does not have a squat rack (or even a barbell!). It sucks cause my uni gym was great it had a squat rack two bench presses (incline and normal) and a smith machine. Plus loads of bumbells and flat benches. My home gym is mostly machines, and to top it off I signed a 1 yr contract!

I will see how much form I lose by doing dumbell squats vs smith machine. But I understand what you mean about stabilizer muscles not being used with the fixed motion of smith machine.

I really want to add more compound excersizes to my workout but dont have the capability at my local gym.
