"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I recently got an injury that prevents me from performing the deadlift properly.

Soo I was wondering what I can do for my back right now that would be 2nd effective in the list of excercises for the back. (deadlifts being the first)

“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.

A better place, a better time.
Good Mornings are great.

Squats of any variety (overhead in particular) and the Snatch can have benefits.

Rows and pull-ups are great for upper back.

I don't know the specifics of your injury, but most people can do rack deadlifts from knee level if they can't do full deadlifts. Maybe even a bit lower.

That'd be my choice for back size (actually upper body size in general) if you can't do a full deadlift.

Hope it's not a permanent injury bro, heal up.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Chins. Wide Grip. You can do more then 12, throw some weight on. Best back exercise after deadlifts.

Rows, either barbell or dumbell. I alays prefer dumbell. Feels like I had more control and hit the lats more.

T-Bar rows are worth looking at. Done properly, they are an awesome exercise.

yea I'll try rack deads until I heal up abit.

You said rack deads build the upper back good, what about the lower back? hyper-extensions maybe?

rack deads hammer the lower back as well, you can use more weight on rack deads so imagine all the overload your lower back is getting. Do some rack deads and tell me it doesn't feel like your back has been hit by a truck :p

all the rows are good as well...DB rows, BB rows etc. And chinups and pulldowns...the usual like what everyone else has said

Rack deadlifts will make the entire upper body grow including the lower back. They also hit the hips and hamstrings fairly well too (depending where you have the bar - knee level is the highest I'd go).

Just a question though, if there's nothing wrong with your lower back, why can't you do full deadlifts?

* Lie on your back with your calves resting on the ball.
* Bend your knees and keep your legs together.
* Exhale and roll your bottom and lower back off the mat very slowly until your legs are straight and your body is in a straight line.
* Inhale and stay in this position for about 5 seconds. Squeeze your butt and the back of your legs.
* Exhale and roll back to your starting position.
* Repeat 10 times.

I injured my hamstring in my right leg in tennis (forgot to stretch) and I can't bend down all the way to the floor to pick up the BB for a full deadlift. And I can't put too much stress on my ham either so I won't be doing squats til they heal up abit.

^at least thats what the doctor said.


Anyways, sooo if rack deads do all that, why bother with the full deadlift?
Does it hit your whole back AND your legs? Just something I'm wondering.

And thanks for all the help so far guys. :up:

Rack deadlifts are great but still secondary to the full deadlift for overall size gains. The rack deadlift is specifically to target and overload the back/top half of the deadlift and as such doesn't hit the legs very much. Still a great movement though as long as you don't turn it into an ego lift by pulling from mid-thigh...
