"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.

Hey guys, I am not doing squats right now because I was playin basketball and a huge fat dude ran into me from the back, i have had a lil back pain...givin time to recover. In the mean time, if i do leg press? would that be sufficient enough to squats? I know squats are essential and i have to get back on track i just dont want to injure myself right now.

What are some machine exercises that equate to squats, if any?

Thanks All,

"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.

Maybe try machine hack squats, they're back-supported. Leg presses are decent but be careful not to make your injury worse with them, people can injure their back with sloppy leg presses mate.

Yeh be careful like Shaun said. I'd also try and do Glute ham raises if you can, failing that just use a hamstring machine. The ones where your heels go backwards towards your hamstrings.

So something like 3x5 leg press followed by 2x10 for hamstrings.

Do high reps on leg press with light weight, were talking 35+ rep range. Stay with that for 3 months and you'll like what happens.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
