"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.

The Big Three

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

When he squatted with the bar it looked like he went an inch or two below parallel. I think in competition you need to go an inch below for it to count.

Thanks Skilla :box:

I used to stop at or a bit above parallel. Last night however, I was going as low as I could, and I'm definitely feeling it today. I need to eat more lol.

Yes. But the big three are considered the true measure of strength. At powerlifting competitions you perform squats, bench, and deads. This isn't a workout routine!

If you're looking to increase your deadlift, powercleans are a great exercise to incorperate into your routine. :up:

I only watched the squat video...this guy obviously has never lifted much weight. First he has all the bar's weight on his hands, you can tell because his wrists are bent all the way back--you get heavy load back there and grip it like that and your wrists are gonna be sore for weeks. Then, he squats with a narrow spread (his knees don't go out to the side any when he squats) which will cause your knees to push up against your stomach and won't let you go all the way down, which in turn will put an inordinate amount of stress straight on the knees. Get those damn knees out.

I don't think I'd trust this guy, he doesn't look like he's ever actually lifted very much.

The way he described the squat wasn't very good. Feet straight ahead? Natural curve of your neck? What?

I put my feet straight ahead, and I get lower than I would otherwise. Prevents my knees from flaring out which causes me some serious pain. "Natural Curve" i'm guessing means don't look up and don't look down, causing an "unnatural curve" in your neck.
