"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

My quads are a lot bigger than my hamstrings, but are not nearly as strong

It's just something I noticed. My quads are a lot bigger and more defined than my hamstrings, yet my hamstrings are still a fvckton stronger even though I hardly work them at all (squats barely utilize my hamstrings). I'm thinking it's genetic because my brother said he noticed the same, but I don't know. Maybe I'm just overthinking things. Are your hamstrings naturally stronger than your quads or nah?
 

"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.

Hams are normally naturally "weaker". However due to shape, some guys hams may "pop" more from the rear. IF you feel it's imbalanced, put in some ham work. Leg curls, glute hamstrock raise, lunges will get you those developed athletic looking hams that aren't on every day joes.

It doesn't bother me, I'm just wondering how I could get the rest of my body to get stronger without actually being big, just like my hams are. I guess you could say I'm aiming for that 'wiry' strength.

Get enough protein without getting too much "fuel" ( carbs ). Have enough to power you thru the day but not a lot more. Lift and excersize and you will grow. Amino acid supplements help. It takes time to put on meat.

If you get too much fuel, you will get fatter. You can gain mass without getting "fatter". You just have to tune in diet.

But that's the thing, I don't want any more mass at all. I could just lift and get bigger without getting fatter. I burn more energy than most people do, so I could get mass without the fat fairly easily. I'm just looking to be like one of those freaks who are super strong/powerful but skinny as heck somehow. Strength without size, like those third worlders. Like CNS development I guess.

I've been looking for how to do this forever and I just don't know how. I heard stories about how meth essentially turns off the body's limit so some people commit great feats of strength and endurance while on it. I have not ever done meth nor will I ever. But how can one turn off the body's natural limits? At least somewhat anyway. To get stronger without getting bigger is my goal.

For you to look stronger some NEW muscle will come on, IE: pounds.

No I mean I don't want to LOOK stronger, I want to BE stronger. I want to get stronger WITHOUT getting bigger.
You'll get a little bigger. Or some fat you have now will come off replace with harder muscle. You don't have a lot of fat on you, but there is some. You won't be "too big" if you gain 10lbs in strategic places. Imagine how much meat 10lb of steak is.

Ok that's fine. My main goal is to just be a lot stronger than I look. I'm comfortable with my physique right now. I always focused on strength whenever I exercised, any differences in looks was just a byproduct of training. Anyway, thanks for your input.

Could be genetic. A lot of people have disproportionately weak hamstrings due to posture problems and muscular imbalances, usually from sitting too much. Consider yourself relatively lucky.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

No offense, but that is pretty terrible if your hamstrings are stronger than your quads...honestly that is kind of embarrassing.

Your quads should be roughly 2-3 times stronger than your hamstrings...they are bigger muscles. I have stacked out the lying leg curl machine before, but even still, that's only 200 lbs or so. I have squatted almost 2.5 times that much...

I'd really start focusing on your quads, that just shouldn't be.

I think its genetic. I work my quads so much more often, I rarely ever use my hamstrings to begin with. My muscular endurancw in my quads is a lot better though. Just nor strength or power.
