“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"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.

No, I was just concerned that that was the total weight you were using for a barbell oh press.frenchbeauty said:
That is fine for db's and your bench numbers, continue on...

Haha I guess 35 using a barbell would be pretty weak.
WBA Im doing Incline after Flat because thats what it says on the workout plan. Well isnt it? I can switch though.

the workout plan says incline press followed by a dumbbell press not a flat bench press. 
it's honestly no big deal though. pretty much anything will work for right now, if you want to do incline then flat go for it. keep the reps higher (8+) on flat bench and tuck those elbows to protect the shoulders.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Heyguys,
Yesterdays WO:
DLs 2*5 @ 245-> painful
Then my buddy and I maxed out on bench, I pulled one rep @ 205 then failed at 210.
Bicep Curl @ 25DB 2 sets
Reverse Curls
Rows @ 100 2*8
Still keeping up with diet. However I have a question. My dream is to play for my unis US football team next year as a runningback. Im a pretty fast kid and I have quick feet, my 40yard dash is around 4.6. Thats one of the reasons I want to gain weight, but Id like to increase speed as well, at least try not to lose it.
Is my current WO alright? Or is it gonna slow me down?
Take care guys.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

How many weeks have you been training without a break?

Don Juan
Since August 15th.
"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.

Last deload?

I would go easy and deload on the next squat day, upper if you feel you need it. This is if you are taking a week off at Christmas/New Year. If not, then I would maybe do a full deload for the whole week, but only if you feel it neccasary. Definitely on the squats though.

Hey guys ,
I'm back after a three week break, and I've been posting on an other fitness forum for a bit. So right now trying to get back up to my pre - break strength levels ....
Weight was at 181lbs before break ... it dropped to 176lbs before last week, and I'm now at 178lbs.
Today's WO:
Really happy with it .
Incline BP : 6/5 @ 140lbs
DB Flat Bench Press : 6 @ 65lbs , 10 @ 60 lbs.
Shoulder Press : 9 / 8 @ 35 lbs
2 sets of Triceps Pulldowns to finish
My goal is now to get up to 190lbs by the end of April. We'll see how that goes.
Take care people. FB

Good to see you back...I hate getting back to my pre strength levels!
"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.
