The first thing that hits me is how quick it is. I was in and out of the gym within 40 minutes, including stretches, warmup sets and breaks between regular sets. I hope this thing works. Have you guys had good results with it? I'm especially interested in getting that "V" form that is most attractive to ladies.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yes it works. I'm on it, I advise it to everyone who comes to me for strength training advice.speakeasy said:The first thing that hits me is how quick it is.

40mins is just what you need. The 3 exercises will stress your body like nothing else. It's easy now, but it will get tough. In a few weeks you'll be glad the 40mins are over.
Don't underestimate 3 times squat a week. You'll the V shape & the X shape.

squats are seriously, the ultimate excercise.

Your upperbody is being worked indirectly. Your whole upperbody tigthens when you got heavy weight on your back. The abs also tighthen up to keep you upright.speakeasy said:Oh those squats were surely a workout. I usually don't even break a sweat unless I'm doing cardio, but the squats had me sweating within a couple minutes.
The squats don't do much for your upper body right?
You're getting a full body workout with one exercise.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
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.
Those squats I did yesterday have my legs so sore that I can barely walk straight. I had to go up some stairs today and it was MURDER on my legs! I hope I'm better by tomorrow because I'm supposed to be meeting a friend for a bike ride.

train them again, but very light. It helps recovery.speakeasy said:Those squats I did yesterday have my legs so sore that I can barely walk straight.

You shouldn't go too heavy when just starting out. Start light, gradually increase the weight on the bar. Give your body some time to adapt. Squatting 3 times a week is, as you've experienced, very stressing for beginners.
