"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.

I don't need the whole nine yards on squats are the best exercise etc... I do bench, squats and deads so save your criticism... Anyways I've been noticing after my back/bicep days that my forearms often tire and ache well before my biceps and my forearms seem to be growing, whereas my biceps aren't. Here's my back/bicep day...

Deadlifts
Wide-grip pull-ups
Rows
Chin-ups
Barbell Curls

So I'm just wondering what your favourite bicep exercises are, preferably ones that don't work the forearms much.

I'm 5'9, 165lbs btw.
 

"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.

and your 165lbs, how big do you think your biceps are going to be at this weight?

The best exercises for biceps come from your back work, once you can row a lot of weight and do pull ups for reps with lots of weight hanging from you your biceps will be big. The only way this happens is increasing your body weight, which happens by eating a lot of food and squatting and deadlifting with lots of weights (i know u didn't want to hear this but its the truth and if u really understood you wouldn't of posted this in the first place)

you don't need exercises that do this. your forearms are lagging, but you need neither blast nor avoid them -- keep doing the compound movements that work and let your forearms catch up to your biceps in their own time.

Ditto.

AFC, you want to gain a inch on your arms? Gain 15 pounds of bodyweight.

If your forearms are giving way before your biceps you need to change your split. Do back/tris one day and chest/bis another day. Deads, pull ups and chins really fatigue the forearms. Thats why they tire.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
