"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Lose weight & punish your calves in the gym

i think im so fast till i get tested and they say i run like a 5.2

Dude that is fast. Just not compared to NFL players.

so then im wondering how its possible to run like a 4.3 thats what confuses me with speed i dont think someone could be that much faster than me

Go look at Steve Smith's calves,that can do A LOT of different things as soon as he catches the ball do to his burst off the line.

Power Cleans. It will take you some time to learn the exercise however. But certainly worth effort. Power Cleans are your best tool to increase power, the ability to explode/accelerate.

4.1 is the human limit. 5.9 is pretty good considering this fact.
get it to 4.3 and nothing can catch you lol

damn i run a 5.4 i guess thats pretty good :D if i trained sprints i could probably get it down.
 

"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.

Calves have almost nothing to do with 40 yard dash times, don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about. Sprinting (and the vertical jump) is all about the posterior chain, especially the hamstrings. Do a lot of squatting, deadlifting, glute ham raises, pull throughs, reverse hypers if possible, and hip mobility/flexibility drills. Cleans are an excellent lift for explosiveness as well, but doing deep, dynamic effort squats will also make you explosive, there is nothing supernatural about olympic lifts, so don't freak out if you have a hard time learning them. Here is a good article:

Also, search around at http://www.defrancostraining.com for tips on the 40 yard dash and other related areas. If you're really serious he has a couple videos on the 40 and combine drills here: http://www.defrancostraining.com/products/products.htm
Also, be sure not to overtrain with running.
Good luck!
