"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.

Heed my warning: If you do not read this book without the bias of what you already "know", you won't understand it at all. Lifting for any reason other than self improvement is suicide. I know most people understand this, but if you lift for girls, you get a girl and lose motivation to lift once you have her. Then you get gross and saggy. Nobody likes that, do they? Ha!

Anyways, this is a GREAT guide.

Enjoy!
 

"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.

They're the same routine. It's just the traditional and effective 5x5 routine.

I'm going to shoot in the dark and say that the 5x5 routine is so effective because it uses natural movements, which are working more than a single muscle.

I can't say that I've ever found a contraption in nature that made me isolate only the bicep muscle and move my arms in a strange fashion.

Haha.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I"d like to know what Jack Lalanne's daily workout consisted of. Until he was 50, (1970) he had a $10,000 prize for the man who could follow him thru his daily routine. Nothing special, what he did every day. In 1970, gold was $135 an oz, and gas was 40c a gallon, so figure 100k in today's money. Pretty likely to have some serious challenges, but Jack never had to pay off. :)

It's sound as a foundation, but to me, routines like that are just asking for imbalances. I believed in the 'you don't need to work arms' stuff for way too long. Now I'm paying for it with lagging arms, complete lack of lateral/rear delts and sore elbows.

As a foundation, SS is fine but I think you really need to be adding in some extra work. For this reason, and the fact progression is ensured, I prefer 5/3/1 - GREAT, GREAT routine.
