"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.
looking forward to more workouts
lol, exactly. I had a few of my friends chuckling at me the other night... Here's the story:
I was at a friend's house friday night, playing some beer pong a bit drunk. My friend was talking to these chicks and they were talking about the gym or something. The chicks were like "let's see your muscles!" ...then, they bent their arms at the elbow, you know.... flexing the bicep, evidently the one muscle everyone thinks should be giant if you go to the gym.
I came over and drunkenly explained to them that my friend shouldn't show them his bicep, because his bicep exercises are kind of lagging, and that's what I got him working on. I told him that he should totally flex his pecs and such to try to show them his best muscles.... his benching and squatting is pretty damn good. I was explaining that you should flex the muscles that are good on your body... they just thought i was weird

You got your head screwed on right mate - keep at it, youngling. I'm the same; my biceps are a very strong bodypart, but if someone asks me to flex I'll always pull my shorts up and show 'em my quads. (in the summer anyway)Originally posted by semag

Double - keep up the good work mate. Soon you'll be doing 120kg for 6 as a warmup squat ..
You might also want to look into rack chins instead of regular chins, since you seem to have those downpat. And tell them girls that squats is what puts mass on your chest, not wimpy bench press."I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

Lifeforce - sorry man i wanted to workout today and the day before....but i really couldnt. my whole body hurts, im totally exhausted mentally and physically. that would be okay so far but i also have lower back pain because i slept on the floor in the hotel(didnt want to pay
). and the usual shoulder problems. but a new injury is comming up, i felt it since a few weeks but now it feels pretty severe. it's proabably because of the dips i feel a inflammation of the tendon sheath comming up and that would mean i couldnt train for weeks! so i wanna take it slow.im thinking of a new workout plan for this hard times.
squats(If doable), chinups, static holds.
repeat 3times a week. pretty spartanic

Alex - haha in my dreams =P can you give me a link for the rack chins, i never heard of them. Ok man i will educate them girls next time about the importance of leg training - i already done this to some guys who didnt want to hear it so why not explain the science of bodybuilding to some girls,maybe they will atleast pretend to listen that they can accidentantly touch my chest or something!

dude :/ I'm really sorry for you. hope it heals up quick. It must be all the dipping as you say. Do you work with good form on the dips?
"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.
YES!! only some weeks ago i could barely do one chinup..........................with one handOriginally posted by Lifeforce
Good lifting.. I see definite improvement in the chin-up section of your lifting.
man this workout WAS hardcore with my current physical constitution......but well when you guys wanna see some REAL hardcore stuff then i will give you, but i dont know if tomorrow because of work. but next workout will be hardcore.
dunno, i think my form is good on the dips but im not an expert and it's hard to tell. i think it's more the ****ty homedipbar they are so tiny that i have to use a grip which ****s me pretty good
i hope one day i will get back to benchingWarboss Alex

"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.
