Those things got brutal as soon as two plates were used. I wouldn't have been able to pull those off if I was playing puck this year. Working out builds you up, sports tears you down..
Yeah the last 2 reps of 105kg I thought I died and the Flying Spaghetti Monster was welcoming me with the you're-my-b!tch-now grin.
I just started soccer again, but am taking a break from 20-reppers for a few weeks to work on heavy low reps.
20-rep squats seem to have increased my T-level and put even more hair on my chest though.
There's a quiet confidence you get after suffering them that's very DJ-like.
Gotta ask, regarding your other post, how are you wheeling cougars like that? When I go out, its mostly folks younger than I am. The women my age or older all have rocks on their fingers. Not doing the home-wrecker game, but I want to get a cougar under my belt before long!
When I go out, it's primary early 20s to early 40s crowd. With the older ones, it's the early-mid 30s that are often husband hunting and I've only ever hit one one those. They are very picky (for good reasons I guess) and a 20-something like me with bugger all money isn't an attractive prospect. But late 30s and early 40s are done with that and are out in numbers, going nuts. I've always found it easy to chat up women that age and make them feel good. They're not manly aggressive, but compared to younger women, they're as subtle as a sledge hammer and very little initiative is needed from me. Tbh I don't dig cougars other than it's fun to chat them up, but having something is better than nothing, and they're very enthusiastic in bed. They're in very good shape (from dancing & yoga/pilates) but the rest need good lighting...
The whole passive thing worked great where I used to live, but I am finding its more difficult down here. There is a fine line between letting things happen, and taking some initiative. If you don't take initiative in some situations, nothing will happen! I found that my friends who were aggressive got what they wanted, but sometimes they did not. One of my boys was trying like nothing else to get with one chick at a bar we were at back in the summer, and she ended up approaching me ( had a g/f at the time so nothing was going to happen).
I didn't mean that I should be passive and not take any initiative. I meant that I'm increasing my passive values - things that can be observed without me having to do anything e.g looks, style, social proof.
Last time I was out, I was the best dressed guy in the place easily, am getting more in good shape, knew everyone in the band playing on stage, knew certain attractive women there. Three attractive women gave me the eyes then opened me up that night without me having to do any leg work, but I did take the lead from there. I have dates with two of them next week and just from the texts, they're acting with much more eagerness and responding very quickly whenever I contact them. I'm not used to women of this level of attractiveness (7~8) acting this way. Usually it's the 6s for me, and sometimes I'd get a 7 and occasionally an 8.
My Game is exactly the same as before but my values have gone higher. That works everywhere.
