What do you for legs/back?
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.
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.

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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
