"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

For those of you who want an alternative (or additional) exercise to add to your artillery for ultimate mass gain, I reccomend a Trap Bar.

Basically, it's a trapezoid shaped barbell where you stand inside and lift by using side handles. It is just as effective as squats and deadlifts in terms of mass gain because it utilizes as many muscle groups. I have replaced deadlifts with trap bar lifts for two main reasons:

1. The trap bar takes a lot of stress off your lower back and allows you to perform the exercise in a more natural way. Thus if deadlifts ever cause you back pain, consider trap bar deadlifts as a definite alternative.

2. Your shins will not get ripped up or bruised by having the bar slide over them.

Thought I'd let you guys know.
 

"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.

Yes , trap bars are usually a better choice for deadlift. Since it centers the weight around your body rather than putting all the weight on one side of your body.

Nice bit of kit. Tad expensive though for the average DJ (uk anyway).

I always take the opportunity to plug hip belt squats as a mass builder for those who truely have back troubles with squats and deads.
