"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

solid program, anything by IA will be awesome. if you can handle the higher frequency (some can't but most can raise their work capacity to allow for this) it will be make for great gains.

though squatting once in 10 days ain't enough for me, I wouldn't be able to wait that long. :D

Who is this Iron Addicts guy? I can't seem to find any info on him. What is his training background? Is he trying to keep his identity a secret?

You kidding? I've linked to his site in your journal at least a couple of times...
 

"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.

Actually I think spes knows about his site but like me knows nothing about the background of the individual.

Yeah
Ok my bad :(

You don't get a life history or anything but if you go through a lot of atricles you get general information. I think he did 350x20 for squats at one point and he pulled a 643 deadlift at 43 having had a herniated disc. He knows his s***. From what I gather he started to get knowledgeable in his 30's which is why he was never a monster or anything.

30's dang. I guess I'm lucky to learn this stuff in my 20's. I am still a bit jealous of those who get to learn this stuff in their teens.

*shakes fist @ quiksilver and quagmire*

What is the history of the IA forums. How did someone start out being just a random guy on the internet to becoming one of the most respected authorities in S&P and sport nutrition?

no special knowledge here, but it appears that when people train with IA, it produces results, hence his rep. Imagine that! somebody knows their ****, and can produce results, and ends up respected. it's almost too good to be true.

clearly they're all juicing. [/sarcasm]

yes it rotates every week.

you can also roate your lifts once in a whle, for example next week im gonna switch up incines with declines, and carry on with flatbb and flat db presses.

I'm gaining some decent mass aswell, if only my diet was better i reckon i'll get better results. I'll post some pics soon.
 

"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.
