What do you for legs/back?
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.

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.
Oh HELL YEA !! It was like a totally different feeling for my chest than benching which usually hits outside of my chest pretty good but Dips had everything solid inside ! it was amazing! the center of my chest was doing some crazy stuff I've never noticed before. I'm a believer !! dips are definitely the way to go !!shaunuk said:Hey D&B man, right after you've done dips, does your chest and sternum area feel kinda tight and really well worked?
damn..looks like i've got a lot of catching up to do !Espi said:I've been doing dipsthe past year just like your friend recommended, and my lower chest formed quickly, much more quickly than doing 2 years' worth decline DB or BB press.
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.
I like dips, they're good for my chest and triceps. I don't distinguish them in my journal but I actually use two styles: torso upright and leaning forward. Some workouts I do two leaning forward and one with torso upright, and on other days I do it the opposite way. I've noticed that torso upright is slightly more difficult as it places more work on my triceps and shoulders, when I'm leaning forward I feel it slightly more in my chest.The Bat said:I gotta agree with D&B about substituting dips for decline. Just think about your body's orientation in space when doing these exercises. They definitely hit different aspects of chest/triceps with different degree. How much and how little all depends on one thing: form.
Throw in some dumbbell flyes in there. It will make a world of difference.

I've been doing it for two weeks, and my lower/inner chest have started to form.BustedKnucks said:You won't notice the decline until you've built up your chest significantly.
bench 4x6emelec said:so wouldnt a great chest workout be
flat barbell 2x5
incline dumbell press 2x8
dips 2x 10 or till failure?
Where can I find this information from? I haven't heard it before so point me in the right direction.Quiksilver said:Working out for two weeks and having your chest start to grow means you've started to have a glycogen pump where your muscle cells are expanded. You'll start to notice true growth after 8-12 weeks.
