"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'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

As for the DB/BB set.... you're gonna need more than 100 pounds. A lot more, most likely.

Any of the benches oughtta work, but I'm hardly an expert on the matter. I work out in my college's weight room, so I've got good stuff, and home equipment hasn't really entered my consciousness.

Any suggestions on how much weight? I'm kind of on a budget, so I don't want to spend over $100 on weights alone. Know of any place I could get a cheaper BB/DB set?

Here's a novel idea. Get a damn gym membership and save yourself a crapload of dough. Use the extra cash to buy some much needed supplements in order to get a lot bigger, faster.

Industry.....A Membership being less expensive than buying your own??

NO WAY!

Granted it is more social but there are also more distractions.

I'd go with the Linex if you're just starting then after you've made

good gains and you need to isolate your muscles better with

specific machines, consider the gym.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I dunno, feel free to comment sosh, or elimadate, but I think ya might wanna look into a squat rack and a simple bench instead of the bench specifically for "chest exercises."

The squat rack can do the legs and chest, and if you get the right bench to go with it, you can do some inclines and declines too... just a tho't cause I was looking into getting some of my own stuff soon.

Anyone have any good stores to look at?? Sears kinda had a crappy selection, costco was no good, wal mart was ok, and that's all I've tried.

I looked into Gyms, the closet Gym to me is like 20 miles away. It's kind of hard to go there 4 days a week while balancing work, social life, etc.
