"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

My gym does not have a rack. Can I still do normal squats (I think it would be very difficult- I would have to physically lift the barbell from the ground, over my head and into position). Will doing hack squats instead be ok?

Also what weight should I start out at for squats/deadlifts? I am embarrassed to say I have been doing what seem to be quite light weights, but still kills to do! And I'm not weak, just average or above. Could you give me the weights for both I should start out at WITHOUT including the barbell. Many thanks.

(Oh and I should add that to date I have only been doing hack squats. Should I be doing the same weight as is normal for the normal squats? And if anyone is going to say, do what is comfortable that's fine but I would just like a rough idea for the average range for a 6 ft 84kg guy.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It's a little dangerous to squat without a rack. Here's an idea FIND A NEW GYM.

A gym without a rack is not a gym ; it's an aerobics studio.

As to your other question : who the fukk cares what you SHOULD be lifting.. it's what fatigues you that counts and then work up from there.

how to find out what weight you should be squatting with? if you can do more than 7 reps with perfect form - it's too light.. if you can't do at least 3 reps with perfect form (where the fourth rep would be do-able.. but it would seriously skull-fukk you!) then it's too heavy. Easy.
