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.
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.
I wouldn't think your legs would explode in size too much if you only squat once maybe twice a week, and keep the reps to a minimum with high weight, because hypertrophy is what builds raw size. Heavier weights in a low rep range (1-5) will train the CNS to handle heavy weights and will build more compact, dense muscle.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:Meh, I cant even fit into my pants anymore, Im done with squats and deads for a while. Sucks because I really dont get much back growth when I dont do deads. Heavy squats are not for everyone, especially those like me that would be Branch Warren/Tom Platz overnight.

I'm one of those people who got legs that grow no matter what I do (done everything from 5-20 reps, low and high volume). I can't even train calves anymore because they literally explode in size. I love squatting though. What works for me now is that I went from highbar narrow stance to lowbar wider stance squatting, squatting once every two weeks. Builds less mass on my legs.TheStig said:I wouldn't think your legs would explode in size too much if you only squat once maybe twice a week, and keep the reps to a minimum with high weight, because hypertrophy is what builds raw size.

When I started seriously squatting and deadlifting, my legs did grow a bit, nothing drastic though, probably because I always went for high weight - low reps.
You're right in saying squats aren't for everyone, but I think people play this card too much. The percentage of people who can't do squats is probably much lower than you think. In my opinion (and many others'), the positives far outweigh the negatives, if there are any.
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.

If you have trouble with finding jeans there are bodybuilder jeans out there that actually look decent and got thin waist and massive ass/legs space.
For OP, I tried reading the article but I just don't have the mindpower to actually manage to read it with all those asses.
Got no reason to bull**** you. Fact is I trained my calves with one single set on leg workout.DanZy said:I'm sorry but I'm very doubtful. The calves claim just pushed it too far
I can see your point with regards to your legs, not so much your calves. Though your legs are mighty impressive.Lifeforce said:Got no reason to bull**** you. Fact is I trained my calves with one single set on leg workout.
here's a pic of my legs, calves are around 43-44 cm I think. Still playing catchup with my upper body, that's why I'm cutting back on leg work.
