You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I like it. if you'd done your leg presses sumo-style then your hams would've got hit pretty hard. ghrs are great for core strength but don't build much size, that's what squats are for.Skilla_Staz said:Yeah I went from 19-21. I still have my chicken legs, and those gains were over a year ago, around the time that I added about 10lbs to my frame. Hoping to get similar gains here, since I've had a lay off of about 4-5 months, and I'm getting my diet in gear.
The gains were definitely noticeable too, started getting a good deal of outer quad development, but my hamstrings are definitely lacking behind.
I think the routine was something like
Squats: WOrk up to 3RM
Leg presses 3x6
Glute/Ham Raises 3x6
Calf Raises 3x10
or something like that. I hated doing higher reps, it made me feel like a weakling, so i dropped the reps, popped on the weight, kept my form and went for it.
any deadlift is good. I sometimes do them as assistance exercise (i.e. higher reps, lighter weight).Skilla_Staz said:what do you think of RDLs?
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.
sounds good on paper. try it and see. 2 sets should be more than enough though if it's a true 4-6RM.Hockey Playa said:so alex for Bench press 3 sets of 4-6 Rep weight range is good?
