“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 dont think I have been gaining much size recently. I mean I am stuck at around 150 for the last month also. Strength gained has been tremendous though. For example shoulder DB press , I used to do 30 but now I do 40, which means that I gained 10 pounds in a month.


What is the problem?
 

"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.

If you are doing low reps that could be why. Try upping the reps per set, as well as increasing volume.

I am doing around 5-10 reps, depending on the excersies

Is 6-8 the best for size?

SO...SO...SO.. FUKKING WRONG!! PLEASE READ THE GUIDE TO BULKING UP FOR AN EXPLANATION.

Matt:

You are on the right track.. 4-8 reps is a good range for mass...

Now... think of it this way.. you are getting feedback from your body...

1. Obviously the rep range is working cause you are getting stronger - BUT

2. You are not gaining much weight...

3. Your options are to up your caloric intake (see my BULKING GUIDE for an idea of how much you should be eating given your weight, and if you have been following that - then your body is telling you that you need to feed it even more for it to grow !! )

So.. use this feedback to tweak the basic principles of adding mass to your particular metabolism.

Good work on the strength gains - now zero in on your diet, so your muscles start to grow with your strength as well.

peace,
D

DIESEL- I'm not perfectly right on this but do I put 4-8 on ALL of my excercise or some? I can't find the answer in your guide...
 

"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.

I said IF HE IS USING LOW REPS. Low reps = 1 to 3. That would be like a powerlifter routine, which is crap for gaining size.

So low rep, high weight=more power but crap size gain. Right?

Not quite. You need to lift heavy to force the muscles to grow...however you need to enough work to create enough muscle stimulation above and beyond nervous system activity.

Basically lifting in the 1-3 rep range all the time will give a bit of mass but it will mostly train your nervous system to fire...

Now in the 4-8 rep range, you begin to involve the endurance fibers as well and thus leading to more growth...

Anything above 10 reps uses primarily endurance fibers and does not work the fast-twitch fibers enough.. the fast twitch fibers are the ones that grow, grow, grow!

Well , more details on this situation.

I see that I am getting more toned (especially my shoulders, but size wise, is pretty much the same)

I try to forcefeed myself but is pretty darn hard. Basically people still see me as a skinny weak dude but I am actually pretty strong now for my size.

Also another question
My bicep havent been getting stronger. I dont know why. I do the basic excersies, picther curl, barbell curl but I really dont see an increase in strength..:(

and Diesel, your guide is great, thx a bunch

"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.

Curls are close to worthless for gaining bicep size... You want REAL bicep size? Do chins. I did 10 sets of 5 or something like that with chins for 1-2 days a week for a month, and my biceps started growing like weeds.

Again...so wrong.

Heavy Barbell Curls are the best exercise for packing mass on to your biceps.

Chins are good, but it's too much back involvement.

Amen, I'd say Heavy BB Curls and Concentrated Curls. +++

If you do them heavy enough that you need to use muscular tension to complete your lifts, you'll be pushing your back AND biceps to the max, which means big biceps, big back - not to mention involving other muscle groups in it too. Biggest biceps I've ever seen on a natural lifter belonged to a guy who doesn't do curls, and chins have done more for me than curls ever have...

I have been lifting since January. I used machines back then and switched to free weights in April. When I started I was around 125 and now I am 150.

I am 19 and 173cm. Since I am short I want to be slim and cut. I can get too big or else I will look really bad.
 

"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.
