"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.

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..
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

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.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
