"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.

Fedor: Q. How should I do chin ups? A. Very fast, to train your speed and power.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Clearly an anomaly when it comes to chins...I don't understand how performing chins fast leads to increased speed and power...makes no sense to me. I have always read it's best to perform exercises slowly...and I agree that slower is better in order to maintain peffect form and fully contract the muscles

Maybe thats for pure strength. In MMA, speed and power are more important.

How about you just do them at a comfortable pace? Easy down, and on the contaction, just pull your ass up and squeeze. Sort of like you would when doing a squat. Ease yourself down, and bust your ass to get back up.

Why wouldn't using your muscles quickly increase your muscle's ability to do more work in less time (power)? Do you learn to tie your shoe laces by putting on your pants?

Mark Rippetoe's strength book repeatedly recommends doing movements explosively on the positive. The negative is the part done more controlled and slowly.

Its true. Doing that will get you so ****in ripped.
 

"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.

The key to back exercise is SQUEEZING and HOLDING. Otherwise, you'll end up working your arms.

As long as you go through the full range of motion and correct techniqe, why would you only workout your arms unless you squezze and hold?

When doing pull ups, stick your chest up and squeese your muscils near your sholder blades(I think there called lats) together. try lifting your self with your lats. I just founout I was always doing them wrong. Doing this fast is good.

"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.

"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.

Yeah, thats what I'm thinking. I can do 6 pull ups with 60 extra pounds on weight on me and I don't squeeze, so I must be doing something right.

I think squeezing and holding just contributes to the pump and d.o.m.s
