I seem to be the only person in my work gym who even bothers with deadlifts, not to mention squats. Anyways when doing stiff legged deadlifts I'm not really feeling anything in my quads. (isn't that whats supposed to be worked) My lower back though is certainly feeling it. I do bend my knees and stick my head forward but my lower back is always sore after my sets. Is this right or is there something wrong in my form? I'm still fairly new to lifting, my highest weight is 160 pounds.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
