"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.

I didn't get any quad doms but I got some of the most intense doms in the glutes and hamstrings that I have ever had and average doms in my calves so its quite a good posterior workout.

I did that workout on Wednesday, its now Sunday, and I still have fairly big doms in the hamstrings.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yeah RDL's will work your glutes and hams pretty hard...

I'm not looking forward to the next day or two...trainer had me doing 8x3 Halting DL's(heavy weight) followed by 5x15 RDL's with lighter weight followed by squat-curl-presses 2x10 with heavy DB's and then 2x30 with lighter DB's and a bunch of other stuff after...legs feeling brutalized this morning already...

You can't get wheels without squats. That's what I tell myself.

Also deadlifting makes you feel like a BAMF.

Beyond that, find leg exercises that are enjoyable to you. For me, I do pistols with kbells.

I think most people would do well to vary their squats as different variations hit different parts of the quads harder. For instance hack squats really caused some serious front quad growth for me, even though my legs were already extremely thick and muscular from doing other variations...
 

"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.

I used to hate it but now I like it, the benefit I get from it are magnificent.

Feel exhausted and relaxed while I feel my test to grow with a 360 degree benefit, also finally seeing my calfs growing is a blessing, surely not as fast as arms but still good enough to balance the body.

I also feel like training legs is helping me to recomp my body, I weight the same but I can see fat melting since I started going heavy on legs.
