"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.

"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 guess its part of the learning curve,as we progress,we tend to find d stuff that works for our bodies and make adjustments to it.
Like ive found that all pressing movements with a dumbell,give me shoulder problems,whereas barbells are fine.
Or my scapula doesnt like dips.i like dips but i stay away from it.

"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.

love that momoent when you notice your gainzzzzswitch said:
my medial delt is lagging, but I cant do lateral raises for it - bone catches on the inside. I just do the things I CAN do, that engage it a little.
Rear delts - I hit a standing row with wide grip, you'll feel them tear up. then do rear delt fly to finish them - get a good ole pump.

hmm what about a press? i simply hate dumbells so i was thinking of a behind the neck press or a similar variation to hit the rear delt...Purefilth said:love that momoent when you notice your gainzzzz

"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.

- " no man , squats will give you a thick waist bro,its bad for your knees...i just wanna curl"
had a bad day and that was just a trigger point..i got hold of a dumbell, was loaded with i dont know,40- 50kg ,anyway i threw the crap at him, into his face then shouted on the top of my voice
"FVCK OFF ASSHAT, IF I SEE YOU HERE EVER AGAIN,THAT GYM BUNNY HAS TO STITCH YOUR ASS WITH DUCT TAPE"

"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.

My personal best with a 20-rep breathing squat was 105 kg x 20 at a bodyweight of 77 kg , and I had a 200-210 kg DL at the time.
3 plates for 20 is an amazing feat though... I don`t think I`ve ever seen anyone do it and I`ve been around world-class athletes!!!!
Also seems funny that your gym squat record is 110 x 1... I`ve cleaned that before at a bodyweight of 82 kg. Haha maybe you should find a new gym, doesn`t seem like you belong there!

i have to bear up my BS job for another year. the locals here are absolute retards.my family has abandoned me , friends are assh0les...lots of things.
on thursday i was in a good mood after a very long time,... hence the PR.if you notice ive been sitting on 100-110 for like 4 months now...
so i have had the potential for a very long time,hell i could even compete but its my brain thats holding me back.
the people here suck at pretty much everything. ,my gym is full of faggots which ive started to refer to as "gymboys", .anyway its near my house, like 5 mins away so its convenient.but the people in it are weak as a kitten.
actually the 110kgs PR was boasted by the trainer , but seeing his frame i doubt its a parallel even,maybe he had done it as a partial...no joke, these people are like twigs. the rack is of low quality and at weights above 130 it literally "bounces back and forth like a cradle".
the local campus has a gym and a supposedly talented faggot...he squats 500lbs while looking like a sweat towel soaked in molten mars bars and smelling like athlete's foot pickled in mayonnaise. its pretty far away and there are even more "gymboys" there.
i should check it out though.
edit : my current weight is 85 kgs

Awesome work man. I'll be proud when I can get 140kg for 1, let alone 20. And you already did 5 sets before AND after.switch said:
You can't help these people, best bet is to ignore them. Once the "interaction" is over, put it out of your mind. Don't let it stew inside you, you'll feel worse.switch said:
