I was just wonder if I can get similar results with the Machine in terms of bulking up. I know you use more stabilizing muscles and something to that effect. But my worries about my back hurt my most of my lifts in the gym rather then help.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"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.

If back is really that much of a worry, than front squats are the answer - not smith squats. Smith squats are terrible.
Easyier said then done. I bike to everywhere plus weights and martial arts. It gets overworked then it hurts to do anything physical. I had to go to a ciropractor to get the tension out. cost me like 30 bucksOriginally posted by C00L

Real, proper squats are the way to go if you want to build functional, full body strength. It involves the muscle chains of your body in the proper angle and sequence the way you would most likely use them in real life.
Real athletes (sprinters, football players, cyclists) all do barbell squats.
If you really want good information on exercise and strength training, look up CLARENCE BASS, MICHAEL COLGAN or STUART MCROBERT on Google, or get their books from the library or Amazon.
I feel these people are consummate professionals who have produced great results for average trainees and athletes alike, and their advice is far more valuable and more well presented than anything I or most people here can provide.

"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.

If youre worried about hurting your back work on your form. If you do the exercise correctly it shouldnt hurt.
Try doing a front squat, its much more difficult to do and you end uo using less weight. It really helps with your form and reduces the strain on your back since you use half the weight you normally do and it forces you to completely straighten your spine.
