"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.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

No need for spotters on dumbbell lifts, unless you are doing dumbbell floor presses.Potbelly said:hey do I need a spotter even if I work with dumbbells? It doesn't seem to make sense to have one since they can't grab the bar as there is no bar.
?? wanna clarify? what are floor presses?dirtysanchez said:No need for spotters on dumbbell lifts, unless you are doing dumbbell floor presses.

http://asp.elitefts.com/qa/default.asp?qid=36598&tid=106 - on second thoughts you probably don't need a spotter for these. I normally have one just to hand me the dumbbells.Potbelly said:?? wanna clarify? what are floor presses?
IMO it's annoying having a spotter touching your arms when you are doing dumbbell work (since they can't hold the the dumbbells).
"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.

I alternate between incline bench press, flat bench press and floor press as my Max Effort (ME) upper body lift. If you are weak at the middle and top of your bench press then it will definitely help improve both these areas. Taken directly from the link I mentioned previously:Potbelly said:hmm I see. I do dumbbell bench presses instead. Why are floor presses better or is it just preference??
"This one is a winner for many reasons:
It is a great lockout builder for the bench press.
It is great for those who have shoulder problems because of the limited range of motion and full shoulder stability (the floor is wider than a bench).
It is great for developing starting strength because of the pause and release at the bottom. You go from a static to dynamic contraction.
It is a great chest builder because most the work is done in the pec building zone of the dumbbell press."
