Hey man just a question...are those squats deep or parallel or higher than that?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"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.

To keep your diet in line, try planning it out in advance. Get it in your planner plus your workout routine plus any supplements you may be taking and it will help. Something about your meals staring you in the face that makes you prepare them and stick to 'em. Considering your weight, you get the privilege of a "see"food diet so you don't technically need a break day but I have found it helps motivate you to stay on track and do the rest of your diet. Best of luck to anti-skinny. 
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Hey man....stabilizer muscles are not something you can target.
This guy tells it like it is - http://www.metacafe.com/watch/300569/stabilizer_muscles/
Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with switching an exercises once in awhile, but personally I wouldn't even bother until I've stalled or it was part of my program.

Notes: 9/16 jacked up the weight too much on my squat, 9/18 did less weight/rep on incline bench due to a hurt right hand in the "boxer break" area, 9/20 on forearm exercise i do, i guess it is a grip exercise also.. couldn't pull up the full length of the rope 2nd time.

What is your general conditioning like?
Are you experiencing any particular issues with the deadlift?
Are you experiencing any particular issues with the deadlift?
Conditioning like, running ? Only thing im experiencing with deadlift is keeping a firm grip on the bar during the last few reps of my sets. I keep both palms of my hands facing toward my body atm but i may switch one around.

For the deadlift switch one around or get some lifting straps if you want to continue using that grip. The deadlift should be higher than the squat.
By conditioning I mean your general fitness.

"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.
Aye i plan on switching one hand around when i do deadlifts again saturday to help with grip.
My general fitness is probably not where it should be. only exercise i get is walking. at my job i probably walk a few miles during each time i work. i'm currently doing nothing with intensity. maybe i should start doing some type of cardio on my off-days and eat more carbs to make up for burning those calories.

Probably wasnt completely healed from benching last friday. Weight felt pretty heavy.
My diet currently sucks. Sometimes i eat good other times not. weigh 163lbs(6'0.5" tall) today before i ate anything. I've been taking NO explode before my workouts and cell mass after.
Thinking of adding some exercises to my routine to help boost deadlift. Dunno what to add though really.
