“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I was reading an old PDF by Anthony Ellis about building mass. What is the best plan to build mass these days?
 

"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.

Anything you commit to and stick with.
Haven't read much on subject for years, but general consensus for natties is hitting muscles with higher frequency, rather body part split every 7 days.

Fully body 3 times a week if starting out, although I preferred upper lower, 4 times a week.

Now I split 3 ways, push, pull, legs - usually 5 times a week.

Key things are consistency, intensity and diet. If you hit those 3 things, and include main compounds in your workouts, you could choose pretty any recommended routine and get decent results.

Pretty much this. If you'd ask me I'd say Starting Strength or 5x5. If you want mass you need a surplus of calories and a surplus of protein.

No idea as I've never done a mass-oriented program. I've heard Shortcut to Size and Arnolds Blueprint to Mass are good though.

In my experience 5x5 type of workouts are better for strength development and foundation than size. Some people with blessed genetics might make it work though.
 

"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.

80% of skeletal muscle is in the legs, back, and posterior chain. To build mass, you must squat, deadlift, and barbell row. I recommend stronglifts 5X5.
Pullups too, especially weighted.

bascially do the big compounds for each body part, no need to focus too much on any area, do everything evenly. Finish off with some isolations for arms, calves etc.
