"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I treat the abs like any other muscle. I use weight. Get a decline bench, and get on it with a dumbell pinned against your chest (Just above your pecs on your collarbone). Go up, but only a certain amount. You will be able to tell when your hip flexors take over the strain instead of your abs. Kind of like trying to touch your bellybutton with your chin. Keep that dumbell pinned, and do a number of reps in a number of sets your feel comfortable with, but don't go crazy. I use 3 sets, you might feel differently.

you dont even need a bench, can put strain on lower back.
But like dude said, grab a dumbell and hold it up behind your head or high on your chest and do your crunches...nice and slowwwww. You will feel that ****.

Whatdo you suggest then? The floor over a padded bench?
Besides, you really need the decline to put proper strain on the abs, since the range of motion of abs isn't fully covered if you are laying flat.

janda situps
hanging leg(or knee) raises
side deadlifts or saxon side bends for the obliques
If you want to hypertrophy your abs, you will need to do about 30 reps in a session, emphasizing the negative. If you just want them to be rigid, you will need to do 1-2 sets of 5 or so, at least daily.
If you are doing the serious compound lifts, especially military presses, your abs are getting plenty of work. This of course assumes you are standing up. Best way to cheat yourself of an ab workout is by sitting down for shoulder presses, sitting down for rowing, sitting down for.....

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I have been using a swiss ball..it seems to be doing a pretty good job.. holding a weight..leaning way back touching the floor and coming forward to touch knees.
I try to switch rep and weight schemes every two weeks...what are your guys thoughts on this?

I sit on the swissball. it makes you use your core muscle..at firts it is a pain in the arse..but well worth it.. lean back as far as possible and get a good stretch like any other lift..
by developing your core you can lift more and make steady progress..

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.
While somewhat of a girl thing, Pilates is great. It was created by a guy.
I had a girlfriend and she had me do the Pilates video with her.
It is a killer workout. I actually bought one here that I do sometimes.
Your abs will be as sore or more sore than any machiine you use at the gym.
I'll let you know if I ever use it consistently though
