"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"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.

Working on some form issues?

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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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,
