"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.

I didn't get any quad doms but I got some of the most intense doms in the glutes and hamstrings that I have ever had and average doms in my calves so its quite a good posterior workout.

I did that workout on Wednesday, its now Sunday, and I still have fairly big doms in the hamstrings.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yeah RDL's will work your glutes and hams pretty hard...

I'm not looking forward to the next day or two...trainer had me doing 8x3 Halting DL's(heavy weight) followed by 5x15 RDL's with lighter weight followed by squat-curl-presses 2x10 with heavy DB's and then 2x30 with lighter DB's and a bunch of other stuff after...legs feeling brutalized this morning already...

You can't get wheels without squats. That's what I tell myself.

Also deadlifting makes you feel like a BAMF.

Beyond that, find leg exercises that are enjoyable to you. For me, I do pistols with kbells.

I think most people would do well to vary their squats as different variations hit different parts of the quads harder. For instance hack squats really caused some serious front quad growth for me, even though my legs were already extremely thick and muscular from doing other variations...
 

"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 used to hate it but now I like it, the benefit I get from it are magnificent.

Feel exhausted and relaxed while I feel my test to grow with a 360 degree benefit, also finally seeing my calfs growing is a blessing, surely not as fast as arms but still good enough to balance the body.

I also feel like training legs is helping me to recomp my body, I weight the same but I can see fat melting since I started going heavy on legs.
