"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.

"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.

I remember when I first started squatting, I would hold the bar with a pretty wide grip. Now my grip is a lot closer to protect my shoulders. I'm not an expert in this but you may have to experiment with how you are holding the bar.

I've seen a lot of people not even grip the bar, just wrap their arms around it and it seems to help them with their flexibility problems.

Hmm, I used to feel that way, but then I started holding the bar with a narrower grip, i.e. 6 inches either side of my shoulder blades.

Also, when you unrack the bar, pinch your shoulder blades together to make the little 'trap shelf'. Your shoulders hold the bar, and you shouldn't need to hold the bar incredibly firmly, so it doesn't hurt my arms much. It's usually my shoulders that start complaining on a 20-rep squat :(
