Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Sr's journey to raw power

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Oh there will be comparisons my friend. This transformation is going to blow minds. It's going to be one of those "holy sh1t I can't believe he actually used to look like that" transformations.

Squat: 3x5x185
Bench: 1x5x185, 2x5x195
Deadlift: 1x5x225

Going to keep squats at 185 to see if my knee flairs up again. 185 was the weight where I decided "hurrrrr I can add 20 more pounds derp" and ****ed my **** up in the first place. No discomfort or swelling. I also made sure I was pushing from the heels and using hip drive.

185 On the bench felt like childs play so I upped it to 195. I wanted to put another 5 on for an even 200 for the last set but remembered my knee and decided to keep it where it was.

I tried sumo deadlifts. These are extremely comfortable and I feel like I can pull every weight in the gym when I do them (probably the slightly decreased ROM). They don't seem to put as much stress of the lower back while putting more stress on the hams and quads. Is there any reason I shouldn't do sumo deads?

OHP: 3X5X140
Squat: 3x5x190

Swam for around an hour as well. Didn't have time to do pendlays. You basically have 3 times of the day where my local YMCA is not filled with bros waiting to curl in the power rack; really early (6am), late afternoon (2-3pm) and late (9pm). I missed my first two windows due to swimming and not getting to sleep until 5 or 6am. Going to the doctor as soon as I'm insured to fix that.

Ate around 2200 calories and burned over 3000 (or so fitday tells me) Good start to my journey to 12%.
