I have the V shape... very badly! Not in a good way at all. I have a 28" waist and a 42" chest (it was measured by a professional for a suit, no errors) and my legs look small too because my chest/shoulder/arms are so big in comparison. Should I just not work my arms and upper body at all and only work my legs because when I switch and use heavy weight low reps for my lower body and lighter weight higher reps for upper body to even it out , I still look the same.
"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.
Damn the V Shape

"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.

Nan, keep your same upper body routine, just work your legs heavier. In my experience [this is me, you may be different] I didnt work my legs and started to look disproportionate, so I started working my legs but kept my same upper body routine, and my legs grew drastically, in fact my upper body grew quicker too. I read some where that your legs release a type of growth hormone when they are worked, true? I dont know but I do know that I made drastic gains after I incorporated a leg routine into my workout.

damn... heh if you could find where you read that I'd be intersted in checking it out. I HATE working my legs, and just can't seem to get into it for some reason. That could be a hell of a motivator if it's true though.

my legs are great! its all from cycling, but dont sit on your bike and think your going to get lots of leg muscles, its not a very effective way! Cyclings my hobbie, the only reason i got a lot of leg muscles is because of many hours of intense cycling every week!
"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.

Well, I guess I can't do much to argue that - may as well suck it up then. I've been gaining a lot in my torso anyway, so improving the legs wouldn't be a bad idea anyway.
Now back to your regularly scheduled topic...
