"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.

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.

Hanging leg raise
Knee-tucks with a cable attached to your ankles
Hanging leg raise with a band attached to your feet
Leg raises on a decline board

Basically any type of leg raise will hit the lower abs.

Why didn't I think of attaching weights to my leg? Genius!

Legraises do nothing for your abs even though you might feel it in the aerea. Legraises are actualy a hip flexor exercise. Abs are actually built for stabilisation, meaning to prevent movement, and the obuliques are built also for either twisting or stabilizing.

We can also look to nature. The way we build our muscles is by mimiking natural movements and using weight to overload them. Picking up stuff, pushing away things, standing up etc. There is not a single natural movement that mimics the crunch or sit-up for the abs. Stabilization and preventing twisting of the spine (not moving) however. That is where we see the abs in action! Lets say you do a squat or a deadlift. You need strong abs to withstand movment of the spine.

So basicly keep your midsection stiff while doing ab-exercises. Here is good article http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/best_of_abs
