"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.

Congrats on the squat PR and good to see your deadlifting now. How are they feeling?

As far as a powerlifting meet, is it a actual meet like USAPL,APA,APF... is it Multiply, Single ply or Raw?

Or is it just some friendly competition between co-workers?

Either way your first attempt should be something fairly easy - something you can do for a triple. Your second attempt can be your current gym max and if you want to take the third attempt you can aim for a PR.
 

"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.

"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.

Don't worry too much about singles and PR's. Save that for competition.
You mainly want to build strength in the gym and then test your strength on the platform or at the end of the month or cycle. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not gonna argue here because I've never competed, and don't plan to, but just asking, wouldn't it be beneficial to do a max test every week or two? I would think that it would be good for the nervous system to get used to handling heavy (maximal) weight.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Sorry Switch, don't mean to "Hijack"


I think its okay to test your max here and there and add some singles to get use to heavier weight. Though its always good to get some rep work in to build up some strength to build upon reaching that new 1RM. I hear some strength coaches say you can loose strength working at 90% or above for two - three weeks in a row... Food for thought

Haha I guess that's my fault.

And that bold part makes sense now that I think about it...it could be the reason why I'm at a plateau as far as 1RM on bench for the last 2 weeks, although my rep work has certainly been steadily improving with no signs of slowing.

Good to see you at it man.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
