"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.

Hey guys,

I started doing squats, front squats, and deadlifts.

my deadlifts are at 145 pounds.
Front squats i did 95 pounds
Squats i did 155 Pounds,

what can i do to improve the weight? any stretches?

Also how do you guys hold the bar on front squats?


I know that ill have to do them mroe and then my body will get used to it and the weight will increase. I felt like a puss at first, but then i told myself that "you have to start somewhere".


thanks.
 

"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.

Thanks Quag!

I will finally grow bigger again. My legs are sore because they are not used to squats or deads. My lower back is sore too. I might start a journal when school starts. This way i will be able to update it on regular basis.

Thanks again man

title of book? was it the pdf that you can find thruogh those links?
 

"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.

Everyone starts somewhere bro, you said it yourself. Getting big numbers takes time and consistency (and food).

I think what helped me the most was training the hell out of the posterior chain and hips (sometimes 2x a week). So weighted ab work, good mornings, hypers, reverse hypers, glute ham raises if you have access to them. I'd also do the adductor/abductor machines if you have them.

I didn't do Rippetoe's when I started but I did put ~400lbs each on my deadlift and squat in my first year and I'm convinced it was because I hammered my core so much.

Start a journal too.

A better place, a better time.
Make sure you're going full ROM on everything you do.

For Front Squats I like the cross-arm grip a lot more than clean grip.
