Hey all...my knee has been giving me some problems lately so I was going to lay off heavy squatting for the next week. Any good replacement exercises I can do to get the same (or near same) benefits of squats?
"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.
If you're getting pains on the insides of your knees, you need to work your core (abs). I got that so I started training abs frequently, sometimes nearly everyday of the week, and I rarely experience pain there anymore.
If you're getting that cracking or grating sound in the knees as you squat with or without weights, u need to strengthen your quads. So possibly try out deadlifts, leg extensions, farmers walk, leg pressing, possibly lunges (first try this one out, see if it doesn't bother your knees). Even if you aren't getting any of those problems I mentioned, try these other lifts out.

I've been upping my the weight on my squats a lot recently, so I'm probably losing proper form at the sake of higher weights. I'll drop some weight and see if it's my form thats off.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
