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.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"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.

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.

"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.

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.
