What is a shoulder expander?
A shoulder expander is a structure based on springs attached to the handles. The only function of the shoulder expander is only stretching, the counteraction of the springs, in contrast to the wrist or power expander, where, on the contrary, compression is necessary.
The shoulder and chest expanders are often confused. Breast straps come in the form of durable loops of varying tension, made of latex. The shoulder expander has two free edges with handles, regardless of materials. There are expanders in which the metal springs and pipes are removable, this allows you to reduce or increase the load if necessary, depending on the muscle group.
A woman who reacts to insults
I'm sure you know about this type of manipulation, because many women use it. This habit also comes from childhood. When our parents treated us badly as children, what did most of us do? That's right, they were offended. We could not communicate, be capricious, and this was a way to show that we were unpleasant with the behavior or attitude of our parents. It was a quick way to get parental love and attention, because we didn’t know any other way.
And often we carry this same strategy, this tactic into adulthood. This applies to both men and women. I believe that grievances need to be worked through, the habit of manipulation needs to be gotten rid of. If your man manipulates with silence and can be offended for a long period of time, this is childish behavior. If this happens once, or in some rare cases, it’s easier to talk and figure it out, but if you see that this happens regularly, it’s manipulation.
In an attempt to improve the relationship, the woman says: “Listen, you are acting like a child. Please watch this video on YouTube.” I know some people forward my videos to their men. My dears, thank you for your trust, but you don’t need to do this. A man does not consider his grievances to be manipulation, because this is some kind of automatic reaction from his childhood. And your advice to “watch the video” will cause him aggression.

Pros and cons of the simulator
Pros:
- The simulator allows you to load the shoulder girdle and torso muscles, and if desired, it can be adapted for exercises for the lower body.
- The compact size combined with the functionality of the exercise machine allows you to train in any living conditions, as well as freely carry the expander.
- Removable springs allow you to adjust the level of load on certain muscle groups.
Minuses:
- Mainly designed for training the shoulder girdle.
- Even the maximum degree of tension may not be sufficient for training to increase mass.
- There are often expanders in which the load is not adjustable, which greatly complicates the training process.
- Rubber models can be fragile, and defects that develop over time can cause injury.
Women's motto: “Being jealous means loving”
The next type of manipulation is when a man manipulates his jealousy. Not all jealous men do this consciously. Why is this manipulation? Because there are women for whom jealousy is an emotion that is associated with love. Jealous means he loves. Restrictions from a man are pleasant for them and are perceived positively. After all, if he is jealous, it means he loves.
This female psychology is especially noticeable in the initial stages of a relationship. When a manipulative man forbids him to go out with his girlfriends, she thinks: “Oh, he’s so powerful and caring.” At first it is very pleasant, at first the woman perceives restrictions from a positive man as some kind of overprotection, overcontrol. This means he loves me, I am valuable to him, he protects me. © Yaroslav Samoilov
But in fact, this is an unhealthy reaction from a man. A woman can recognize it only at the stage when jealousy becomes unpleasant to her. At historical discussions, I often hear the question: “Yaroslav, why is a man jealous of me for no reason? I am faithful to him, but he is jealous almost of the doorknob. Why does a man behave this way?”
I repeat: a man can do this unconsciously. A man uses a woman for manipulation because he also has his own fears. Often they are associated with the relationship with the mother. Perhaps he saw some kind of game in the interaction of his parents or his mother’s relationships with men. Therefore, subconsciously he has the belief that women cheat. A man tries in every possible way to limit his companion and control her when she begins to disappear from his field of vision. And suddenly the woman finds herself completely dependent on the man, emotionally and financially, she does not know how to behave with a manipulative man.

Is it worth opening up the world of other men?
Another option is “Okay, he’s unworthy. I’ll change it now, find another, more worthy one.” Let me draw an analogy with work: if I now earn a certain amount, it is unlikely that I will be able to immediately find a job much better. Yes, this is possible, but it is more of a lottery and a matter of luck. To find a better job, I need to grow as a specialist. And if I just change jobs, they will be +/- the same. It is possible that one job may be worse than another.
It's the same in relationships. I understand that there are cases, perhaps even among your friends, when the partner was unworthy, she left him and immediately met a cool man. I know such stories, there are many of them. But if you look at the percentage, you will understand that there are a minimal number of stories with such a happy ending. I still recommend not playing the lottery, but managing your life consciously, wisely, and not hoping for a lucky break. If you want to choose the path of development and get what you really deserve, I’m waiting for you in my free online course “Man: Honest Instructions.”
Thank you for reading to the end! I would be glad to know your opinion about male manipulation.
Recommendations for training with a shoulder expander
Unfortunately, not every expander can perform the exercises described above:
- Firstly, to train as many muscles as possible, the expander must be quite elastic so that it is possible to perform exercises while standing. Otherwise, the exercises can be performed while sitting, reducing the amplitude of tension of the springs.
- Secondly, it must be possible to remove the springs to change the load level.
- Thirdly, you can also connect two expanders, which together will increase the functionality of the simulator.
Recommendations for women
- Choose a resistance band that is not too tight and has removable springs so that each muscle can be loaded. Rubber expanders, for example, single-tube ones, are also suitable for girls for this purpose.
- To tone your muscles or lose weight, perform exercises 15-20 repetitions in 3 sets.
- Resistance band exercises can be combined with various cardio exercises.
Recommendations for men
- For muscle growth, you need a fairly tight and rigid expander, which will provide the necessary resistance for 10-12 repetitions of 3-4 sets.
- To tone and work on relief, you need an expander with the ability to remove springs to perform multi-repetition approaches. To do this, 15-20 repetitions of 3-4 approaches are enough.
- Train every other day, loading one muscle group per workout.
A woman who is afraid of loneliness
A woman who has a fear of loneliness is easy to manipulate. She is ready to endure insults and humiliation, just not to fall into some unknown, where she will be alone, without a man. If you look at the history of her childhood, most likely she is a woman either without a father or without parents at all. Or the father left the family early because for some reason the parents often quarreled. And a woman has a fear of being alone, which she tries to compensate for by having a relationship with a man. She is ready to be close even to a super unworthy man, just not alone!
The desire to constantly fall in love and be in a relationship leads to the fact that a woman attracts a man who is an abuser or a tyrant. Such men deliberately kill women's self-esteem by manipulating through humiliation. If a manipulator falls in love with a woman, then at first his desire to offend may come down to a joke. But then phrases are heard more and more often: “Who needs you with a child/two children?”, “Who needs you so ugly/overweight?”
These women already have low self-esteem, otherwise they would not choose such a man. But despite the fact that the chosen one is truly terrible and makes the woman feel bad, she does not think about how to get rid of the manipulative man. She can't live without him. Because she is much worse off alone than even with an unworthy man.
Logically, she understands that this format of relationship is abnormal. And her friends tell her: “You don’t value yourself. Come on, leave, start another life immediately!” And that sounds really fair. Perhaps she will try to pause and part with the abuser for a while, but it is very difficult for her to end the relationship completely. There is a great fear of the unknown, of separation, so she continues to endure. Unfortunately, many women live their entire lives in this situation.
To pump up your insecurities and deal with your fears, I invite you to the free online course “Man: Honest Instructions.” I will tell you how to create harmonious relationships and become a woman who is truly loved.
Rubber band for weight loss
During exercises with a rubber band, excess calories are intensively burned, which promotes weight loss.
One of the options for a set of exercises with a rubber band for weight loss for women
If you choose exercises with a band as the main way to lose weight, then you must adhere to the following principles:
- It is recommended to complicate the exercises gradually, monitoring the body’s reaction to increased load.
- You need to breathe properly during training.
- You should definitely do a warm-up and cool-down after training (you can run in place or jump rope as a warm-up).
Exercises with a rubber band are performed not only for weight loss. A set of workouts with this equipment for women is an opportunity to tone the body, strengthen muscles, add definition to them, and develop flexibility without the use of exercise equipment.

Aphrodisiacs
Stimulants are used equally by both men and women. Household chores, work, problems - all this leaves an indelible imprint on our body and on our sexual mood. Agree, it’s not very pleasant to make love just to make your partner feel good. And often the partner feels this and no one will have the desired effect. It is for such situations that manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry are coming up with more and more new remedies. Women's include:
- sprays
- capsules
- creams
- pills
- oils
- drops
Men use: tablets, creams, capsules, lubricants, drops, sprays.
Some are used locally, while others are used orally. All these products, including perfumes, are present on Ali. You can find them by entering the word: aphrodisiacs in a search engine.
Customer reviews price-quality
Even about such specific products, people leave their reviews. Don't be lazy, read it.
E***a S. RU Everything works, the quality is the same as in our Moscow Sex Shops. Arrived in 17 days. Latex is very soft and will not squeeze anything. It buzzes as it should. If it doesn’t turn on from the beginning, it’s probably because of the white piece of paper that lies inside between the contacts and the battery. Everything is cool, I'm delighted!
V***n K. RU Delivered quickly. I specially ordered two different rings: this and another one for comparison (the second one is more than twice as expensive and I won’t advertise it here). Cheap is not good and, accordingly, the product is appropriate, but there are no complaints about the seller. The silicone itself is soft, but it is a little stiff when stretched, so it feels tight when you put the ring on. The hole is really small, you can only put the ring on pencils. The vibration is weak and the vibrator itself in the ring did not seem good to me, I feel it will not last long. Yes, and replacing batteries presents a whole problem: you need to disassemble the flimsy vibrator, which is secured with a lock made of latches. Well, in general, the product corresponds to the description, fast delivery, price-quality.
R***v U. RU I ordered it on July 13 and was at the post office on August 20. Cool thing, soft, pleasant to the touch material, moderately elastic. Vibration 30 modes. Attention, strictly observe the polarity of the batteries. I inserted it incorrectly, the on/off button turned into a mode selection button, put the glasses on, inserted it correctly, everything was just great! There are so many different modes, from weak to strong with pulsation and increasing. In short, girls, let's experiment! Good luck everyone. The seller is a decent person. Thank you.
P***l K. UA The product arrived in a non-working condition, the reason was that the switch was not soldered, a small thing but unpleasant. The product is intended for women, I'm not sure that most of them have experience in soldering with tin solders. Bought as a comic souvenir. It buzzes and vibrates.
M***l V. RU The order arrived within 30 days from the date of dispatch. But, probably, due to the fault of the Chinese post, it was sent to a different address. I talked a lot about this topic with the seller, believing that he gave me someone else’s tracking number and threatened to argue. The seller answered all my messages, assuring me that everything was fine with the order. And so it happened. After import, the parcel was sent to its destination. Now I apologize to the seller for my mistrust. As a result, the track was tracked From and To. I checked the doll and there is no defect. But I won’t use it for its intended purpose, since I didn’t order it for myself. And so, excellent quality for such a low price. I deservedly give it 5 stars.
