"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.

I've been working out my upper body now for a while now but my legs are still scrawny as hell. I also need to add some inches onto my waist so I can fit into my damn belt!

I'm really keen to do squats but I'm tentative because I've heard about the danger, pain and the nausea. I'm also pretty light - about 122 pounds. My dad has had knee problems so I suppose that is another concern.

Can any experienced guys offer me any advice for starting out on squats?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Start with just the bar so you learn how to do the movement. Dont put anything under your feet. Always keep your back straight, you can visualize yourself taking a seat, only theres nothing to sit on. Keep your eyes looking forward. Go down until your thighs are parallel to the ground.

Thanks ultrashogun, do I completely straighten my legs (lock knees) when returning to the standing position? And when squatting should my knees be pointing slightly o utwards?

Edit: Why the hell is "0utwar" censored?

Dont lock your knees, thats harmful. Ive read at many places that the knees are supposed to be pointing outw+rds(Why the f+ck is that censoured?) a little, but I have my knees pointing straight. Your highest priority however should be to keep you back straight or you get a prolapse in your lower back, also be sure to pull your shoulders back. Just do it alot in front of a mirror to learn it.
 

"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.
