"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.

For example, powerlifting, olympic, Girevoy Sport, strongman? I don't yet, but once I get my clean and jerk to 300 pounds, Mike Burgener, Team So. Calif. coach and my old high school coach, will recruit me for the team (olympic lifting), and once I can afford more kettlebells I'm going to start Girevoy Sport training (1-KB snatch and 2-KB jerk for reps competition)
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

i personally think those kind of competitions are stupid. lifting such heavy weight is not really good for your body. its true that lifting weights is healthy overall, but going overboard is definately not.

plus, have you seen the powerlifting guys? theyre usually some short squatty guys who look like they have a hernia. not something id wana strive for.

If you don't like it, stay out of the thread. This isn't a thread for bodybuilders.

very hard to develope and something very few, few people can do and do well...

I used to powerlift, but I don't really have the correct body type for competition, nor would I be interested in competing.

What are your numbers?

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Not sports, but they require a TON of strength. Those guys are amazing. Some of the cirque de soleil guys do crazy stuff too like a turkish getup with a human weight, or a bottoms up press with two 72-lb kettlebells, one on top of the other.

Squat: haven't maxed in awhile, probably 270 lbs (relatively crappy)
Bench: 185 (very crappy)
Deadlift: 319 (not too bad, considering I almost never deadlift)
Clean and jerk: 193
