“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.

yes, you should be concerned enough to figure out why.
if you are continually gaining strength in good form on key compound exercises and not gaining weight (provided your bodyfat is the same - as bruce said you might be recomping) you're not eating enough, simply.
if your bodyfat is the same AND if your form is good then it's your diet. if you're eating 1.5g of protein as most of you are, bump it up to 2g and do a rough calorie count per day. review how active you are and let us know.
bruce, the CNS has nothing to do with this. it can adapt to doing squats within a few weeks but does that mean if you keep putting weight on the bar and pounding out brutal sets and widowmakers you're gonna stop growing just because you've adapted neurally? if you meant bicep curls then I agree with you.

I thought there was a limit and after that your system adapts to the work.
Don't you have to switch up routines and exercises once in a while? Otherwise you hit the wall if you continue on the same path?

once you can't make strength gains on an exercise you change it for another and make strength gains on that one until you stop, then go back to the other one or a different one. (i.e. free squats until you get stuck, then box squats until you get stuck, then free squats again or front squats etc)brucevangeorge said:
I don't think your system adapts to the work after the limit, it's the opposite. after your limit your system can't adapt - you can't lift the weight. otherwise gaining strength would be progressively easier rather than progressively harder.
doesn't matter what you call it. when something stops working (i.e. no more strength gains), then you change it.
