"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.

"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.

awesome memory
Yeah, I have some madd issues. In December/January I took a few weeks off cuz I couldn't afford the gym and then I got food poisoning. After that, I haven't had a chance to be strict on my routine. Actually this week is perfect for me to get back into it, but the gym that I go to is a university gym with shorted spring break hours >=[. I only get an hour to warm up and workout.
Right now I'm also working on my form as you said. I'm trying to get it so that my lower back isn't sore the day after (thats how it normally is for me). The workout I just posted resulted in a sore lower back as well >=[. I've been doing a lot of glute activation, hopefully they will be utilized more and my lower back less.

Sounds like we are in the same kind of boat. I hit 341x4 but I get a lot of stiffness in my lower back. Been doing quite a bit of glute activation myself. Get on those GHR's and be persistent
I will have to drop the weight a bit and work on form. Although I think I will try some rack deads and see how that works out. How is the squat going? I am giving up on it and moving to front squat, think this will work well.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

If back squat is f***** up try front squat for a while. You can't use bad form on it really.spesmilitis said:

It seems that on squats, if I can smooth out a sticking point, I can go back to normal.
Squat: 165 1x10. I want planning to do a 3x3, but on the first rep I was really tempted to cheat and a sticking point, and I just concluded I was having a bad day. However, I ended up doing 10 sets of singles. So I have a feeling that once that sticking point gets smoothed out, I will be at my normal squat weight.
-When you get to the sticking point, don't rush and cheat. Stay as there as long as you can as your body will eventually go up with good form.
-New form tip: before going down, squeeze the glutes as hard as you can
leg curls
weighted abs: weight on top of forhead: 45x10, 45x5,
