"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.

For the past 2 years I've been trying to get rid of my "t1tties". I didn't think normal bench pressing would have done, so I thought on concentrating on my lower chest. I feel the burn coming from my "t1tties" area, but I've seen absolutely no progress at all. However, the other areas of my chest have developed. This has caused me to believe that I'm not doing the right work outs for the part of my chest that I want to work out. At home I even do push ups and extend my hands farther out, but I end up working out my wings. Here's a diagram of what I'm trying to achieve:

Any help is appreciated.
 

"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.

What is your current weight/body fat%.

Decline is likely to make the problem worse.

I'm not sure about fat%, but my weight is around 180. I'm definitely overweight but I also pack some muscle on upper body.

Dammit, so doing decline was making it worse this entire time?! Ugh.

It basically looks like you need to lose some excess fat whilst putting on a fair amount of muscle. The above routine is focused on the entire body, which is needed for optimum results. If you do everything right, you will look noticeably improved in six months time and be well on you way to attaining your goals.

Start a log if you can and good luck,

you are still are in beggining stages. As quag told you to do, go to those links, get ready to eat and do incline benching. The guys chest on the right in the pic had a fair amount of muscle, so you are going to have to get their and then drop bodyfat%
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

burn is irrelevant to muscle development. and you can't 'firm up' a flabby part of your body with lifting, no matter what the infomercials tell you. you need to lose overall bodyfat to change the appearance of your chest. putting on some muscle wouldn't hurt, but it won't help as much as getting rid of the fat.

I see, no wonder I've been seeing no progress at all, thanks that really helped a lot.
