That's probably the dirtiest frontsquat session I've seen. Mine was pretty gruelling, but it pales in comparison. I salute you and respect every single one of those reps.
"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.

"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 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.
Thanks man!Krueg said:

100m sprints?! Dude - even I couldve told you that would hurt! Did you puke?
Nah never got nauseous or anything, outta breath yeah but that just comes with the territory lol. The problem was that my hamstrings and glutes were fried from all the squatting, then the sprinting just made it worse...felt like they were gonna ball up. I'm no scientist but I kinda think that the force generated in the legs from balls to the wall sprinting could be on par or even more than doing squats.Purefilth said:
If I'd have just ran a mile or something, I probably would have been fine. But I can't do distance running. Well, I could but I have no willpower when it comes to that, like a couple minutes in I just wanna stop cuz it's boring and it sucks haha
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

And done. Only had an hour to lift because I got there an hour before closing, forgot it closes early on Saturdays. It's actually good in a way, though, because it really forces me to go hard and not waste a second.
Anyway, my back is feeling glorious right now. I think doing full toes to bar hanging leg raises gives me just as good of a stretch in the lower back as weighted dips do, but in a different way. Weighted dips kind of force the stretch, whereas with toes to bar, you're doing all the stretching, and it's stretching by bending rather than just being pulled downward. Idk, I don't think I'm putting it into good words, it's one of those things that one has to do to fully get it.

fvcking toes to bar.
ive been doing a few of these and i do respect the volume you smash out on them. I will get more done, I just hate doing abs so much!

No weights today, just a rude awakening. Got home from class a bit early so I decided to hit the track. Jogged from my house to there, got there, and ran a 400m run. Nothing too crazy, bout a 1 min 20 sec pace, somewhere between a jog and a sprint, a brisk pace for me. Then I walked 100m, and proceeded to sprint the 100m straight. So walk, sprint, walk, sprint. In total ran 4 all out 100m sprints, and I am completely gassed. Doesn't help that it's crisp outside, and it burns the lungs after awhile.
It's a rude awakening because for football back in the day we'd run a whole heck of a lot more sprints than that on our conditioning days, and I could do that with little problems.
Guess I should start running a bit more. Don't want to but it can't hurt.

"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.

Stig you suck for beating my front squat PM with your stupid 315 lb 1 RM on the front squat! My 1 RM is 305... you suck
Haha, just kidding man, awesome work! That`s a heavy ass front squat... I hate the feeling of unracking a weight like that on your front and being like `you want me to do what with this weight`?
Are you using a clean grip for your front squats?
Why is your trap bar pull not heavier? I`m sure you can do more weight than you are doing... My 150 lb friend did 360 the other day and it was his first time pulling a trap bar. I think you need to start increasing the weight there Mr. 315-lb fronts squat!

I don't know man, it's really fvcking annoying. With deadlifts of any kind, it's not a linear progression at all as far as difficulty with me.Fuglydude said:Stig you suck for beating my front squat PM with your stupid 315 lb 1 RM on the front squat!

Thanks man, and yeah that's basically what I think once I unrack 275+, that's when it starts getting scary haha
Are you using a clean grip for your front squats?
Yes, I really don't understand how people can go cross armed with heavy weight...since your arms can't pass through each other, one arm will be higher than the other, causing the weight to feel unbalanced

Example: Instead of the difficulty steadily increasing as the weight steadily increases...it's more like..easy, easy, easy, easy.....OHH FVCK! All my sets on conventional are rather easy, up until 385. I never have a problem getting my 365 triple, in fact I'm sure I could do it for 6 or so reps, maybe more (rack pulled it 12 times awhile back), but I hold back so that I'm able to do 385. That's exactly how it is on trap bar too, except instead of the wall being 385, it's at 405.
My one buddy who occasionally lifts with me is actually the polar opposite. He rarely ever lifts, ever. But the time I pulled 405 on the trap bar for the 1st time, he thought he could do it too after he saw me do it. He fvcking got it for one rep, after previously quitting on 315x6. I was so irritated lol. Granted, his form was atrocious, but the fact is he got it, with almost no training.
This same guy has trouble front squatting 135 though....so I don't know, I guess everyone has imbalances, strengths, and weaknesses..some more pronounced than others.
Back to my odd deadlifting though, I think I just lack explosiveness right off the floor, rack pulls I've done 425x2 with good form, so I know the lockout area is fine. So I'll be doing some deficit pulls for the foreseeable future.
Edit: Something just occurred to me. A lot of guys will do their heavier/maximal sets and their form changes...their backs round out. I never ever do that. If I can't have perfect form, a perfectly straight back, I just stop the lift. The moment I feel my back round or curve I let the rep go and drop it. That could be a contributing factor.
