"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 was gonna do some bench pressing the other day at the gym and as I tried to lift the bar, my right hand where my palm ended and my wrist started, it felt like it was about to rip or something. It felt like I was about to rip that or something. What can I do to get a proper chest workout without this problem?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I would start by going to a doctor and having your carpal tunnel diagnosed. Then wear wrist braces to bed, take anti inflammatories for 2-3 weeks, and by then you'll be good to go.

^^^^^^^ What he said

The bar should be as close to directly over the wrist as possible while still having your thumb on the other side to prevent slippage and death!

Go to the doctor and get it checked out. Take it easy on the weights in the meantime.

but i dont feel any carpel tunnel **** on my wrists. My movement with my wrist is not limited, it just feels bad when I decline bench press or something. I tried chest press machines and the like and I didnt have any problems.
 

“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.

.....

Came alarmingly close to that a couple months ago!
As it was, I jammed my right wrist and bruised the hell outta my ribcage/pectoral area.

A lesson learned :confused:

Allright dude, make a fist and look at it--there's a big meaty area where your thumb connects to your hand that's a little bit diagonal, that's where you want the bar to go. So when you get to the bar, rotate your hands out just a little so that the bar sits a little diagonally in your hands, across that meat, and keep your wrists straight, and you'll never have another problem.
