"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.

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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.
