"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I prefer the stiff-legged deadlifts cuz I like to workout my hamstrings. Do I still have to do regular deadlifts to workout my lower back? Are those two exersises that different, or are they similiar enought that im working out all the muscels that get worked out in a regular deadlift.
 

"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.

I dunno...my lower back still gets sore after a stiff legged deadlift. I really do prefer stiff legged ones though- my hamstrings don't normally get worked out.

That dude is doing a f'ucked up version, heh. He's not keeping his back flat, as you would in a true stiff-legged deadlift, so he's doing a cross between a stiff-legged and normal dead thereby cheating himself out of a full hamstring workout. Here's what it should it actually look like:

The site I posted has the same version yours does only they called it a straight leg deadlift. :crazy:

It's primary target is the hamstring too. :yes:
 

"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 you want to work your hams, drop the weight on a SLDL until you can keep your back straight. If it still doesn't nail your hams, try good-mornings (which are similar but won't pull your shoulders forward).

I'm sure working up to a 500lb stiff leg deadlift will work out your lower back just fine. do whichever is more comfortable for you.
