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.

chins works bis as a secondary muscle.

Bis exercises are much better because it works them as a PRIMARY muscle.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

what that means is that in chins your back does more of the work than the biceps....so in doing heavy barbell curls YOUR BICEPS WILL BE WORKED MUCH HARDER THAN WHEN YOU DO CHINS!!!
Replace chins with pullups and you got it down pat ... but when I do chins I always feel it in my biceps a LOT more than in my back, even when I do other back workouts in the same day. Not to mention, the hypertrophy in my biceps was quite a bit more noticeable than in my back.

A back workout, even if done properly, is going to exhaust or come close to exhausting your biceps too. I only do a few biceps sets to finish off my bis after a back workout.

Probably the latter. I have done primarily olympic lifting for the last 3 years but no bicep training.

Agreed with Bigforearms. Another thing, the fact that it is multijoint will cause a larger surge in GH and testosterone, which in itself will help promote size building.
 

"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.

Where I be at
I don't know what it is called but there is one bicep one a frined told me about where you start at the hip, and then curl towards your chest on the opposite side, and you hold for a second or two and the release. Anyone know what it is called?

Also I do the normal curls and the ones where you tweak at the top. Can anyone suggest any other ways (w/ descriptions, # of repetitions and sets) to build mass? I usually do 1 set of 20 normal biceps curls, with 15 lbs but that hasn't seemed to help me too much
