"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

What are good forearms exercices?

I have no dumbells home either, only barbells.

I've trained my biceps/triceps and they have got bigger, but my forearms are still that damn skinny, and it looks weird.

thx..
 

"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.

For starters if your really looking to make some long term progress it would be necessary to get a gym membership unless your home gym is equipped.

A lot of people fall into the bad habit of trying to get x isolated part bigger when they should be concentrating on making the body grow as a unit. Ponder this great quote not excatly sure who said it first so i'll give credit (iron addict, dc and Stuart McRobert since they all stress this concept)

"What if, instead of doing so much you never grow, those 3-4 exercises per body-part to ensure “complete development” of all “aspects” of a muscle. What if all you did was:

Squats 400 x 20
Stiff-legged deadlifts 375 x 15
Bench Press 315 x 12
Pull-Up with 100 lbs extra weight x 12
Military Press Body-Weight x 10
Calf-Raise 700 x 15
Weighted Sit-Up 175 x 12

How much bigger would you be than you are now, and what muscle would be under-developed?!?!?!?!?!?"


Had to get that out first so i don't feel like i'm robbing you by just throwing some acessory forearm exercises at you.

and also look to buy one of these and work your way up

I don't think I know any forearm workouts without weights...
You can try doing pushups with your fingers. That doesn't really work for me, but I guess it won't hurt to try. I like using weights and tie it to a string and spin it up with my handsand then lowering it down by spinning in reverse. I think it works really really good. To me at least.

Pullups! Do a search. Squeeze the bejeezus out of the bar when you do them and your forearms will explode.

how do you even your forearms? My left one is scrawny as hell and I want it to be bigger. My right forearm is awesome though because it is my throwing arm.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Forearm Training

That's the main section of articles relating to forearm training on the Bodybuilding.com site. I would recommend doing a lot of grip work too. It may just add more 'dimension' to your forearms.

I assumed people were a little bit more mature than that, especially when I said it was from pitching.

I guess I was wrong.:down:

He's telling the truth, handling balls all day will do that.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Thanks AdrenalynJunkee, I've done what they said on the site.

One thing though, I've done the bicep exercice perfectly fine.. The first day my bicep was totally fine

But yesterday and today it hurts when I move it or when I try to get something that is far range.

Is that a good thing?
I didn't really stretch my bicep before doing it cause I have no cle how to stretch a bicep, that might be the problem..

But when a part of your body is hurting, is it a bad thing or a good thing?

It's most likely your muscles just being extremely tight and sore. It's not bad, but it's not a GREAT sign either. It's sort of just, there. As for the stretching, I've got another link for you. Again, this is from BB.com.
