"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.

Best chest excercise?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

the chest responds extremely (structurally) to stretching but it's easy to overdo if you're not careful.

newbie81 - I like your style. let the pecs stay on the pretty male fitness models, what we want are huge slab-like traps, shoulders like cannonballs and a back as thick as a brick wall. guys like that turn more heads than puffed up pecs do.

I still don't believe that you can isolate a certain part of your chest but yes, I agree that flies do target the inner chest more - however the chest complex grows as a whole.

heavy bench press

stretch pecs with db flies/low db press



don't only work pecs, big pecs is ugly for men, men need big shoulders & big necks, concentrate on overhead strength.
So if big pecs IS UGLY for men, then IS BIG PECS, good on women?

Arnold IS HAD big pecs. IS UGLY?

No is no ugly.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

idd, watch out for stretching, overdoing is bad.

I also don't believe in "targetting" muscles, and frankly one should not care about this either.

Yes I like women with big breasts.

Men should have big legs, big shoulders, big neck, wide back. Breasts is for women.

You know.... b1tch tits are not pecs. Why wouldn't you want a nice muscular chest?

And you do realize that you cannot have a big back without a chest that is proportinatelly as strong and large. You body will not allow it. IT will limit the size that the back can grow for safety reasons. To prevent injury.


HAHAHAHAHAHA. You're jokes!!


I'm not even going to bother explaining further. Just rest easy knowing the fact that your body grows as a whole and when you severy limit a certain part, the rest will stop growing too. Sure you can get that part a little bigger than the rest, but you won't grow big until you fix the weak point.

Get some more knowledge.

Oh well, it's really your time, effort and protein you are wasting in the gym. It's a shame you don't know JACK. Otherwise you could be.... (well this is where your imagination should kick in)

No skin off my ass.

bruce, half the stuff you say is good and the other stuff is retarded. please use some sort of filter on your posts.

your body will allow this by making the chest bigger as well. you make this process easier by direct chest training but even if you didn't train chest I doubt your pecs would stay the same size as long as your squat and deadlifts were soaring

my chest is weak, very weak. my bench sucks - but my squat and deadlift don't by any means. my chest grows just fine, in fact I believe it's ridiculously large relative to the amount of weight it can lift

Ok, so what you're saying is....

Extreme example:
If I go and I do heavy ass barbell curls, I'll get inhuman biceps? Including triceps? Without doing any other exercise to stimualte Tris?


The biceps potential size and strength will be limited by the size and stength of the triceps. Have you seen a guy with huge Bis but no Tris? Not likely.

Same goes for chest and back. They are antagonistic and if you have antagonistic muscles overpower each other....
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

you can't compare biceps with chest. but working your back will make your biceps AND your chest grow.

but hell, you're 19 and know everything, right? :)

I don't know everything and I pray I never will, but I was simply comparing biceps to chest because of the relation between the antagonistic muscles.

Chest, back. (yes I know they're groups of muscles) Bis, Tris.
