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.

Is it true that you need to change how you lift every so often in order to keep gaining strength?
 

"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.

You do, however, have to switch up the exercises you do every month or so if you're trying to grow your muscles.

It's a badly-kept secret.
Fiction.

Your muscles aren't as smart as many people give them credit for. Doing a machine curl instead of a barbell curl won't *shock* your muscle into growing. It will hardly even notice the difference. The only think you'd be doing is isolating your bicep more by doing a machine curl (not good in my opinion).

Generally, don't chop and change exercises.

Only change them occassionally to stay motivated.

You don't need to change up exercises to keep growing, I find it helps me to change the excerises adn their order as well with the amount of reps and sets I do. It's all about what works best for you though. Just experiment and see what works, the same stuff doesn't work for everyone.
 

"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.

Yeah, if you want to shock, it's best to do it by upping reps for a couple workouts, or by taking a week off.

...

I beleive changing your workout helps in a variety of different ways....

every now and then change the order of exercises, the exercises themselves, the reps you're shooting for, and the sets....

it's just something different, i notice gains in myself with a switch things up a bit.

Running and varying your workouts are the perfect solution to most fitness problems.
