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.
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.

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.
"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.
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.
