Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

how do you develop a strong grip strength? do any of you train grip?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

During my time as a tennis player, I used that thing:

(well, not exactly that one ... omg forget these fvcking LEDS and sound effects plz ^^)
it became pretty mainstream some years after I first used it, but I think it's worth the money... at least for improving your grip strength when playing tennis.

easiest & cheapest way to beat up your forearms is to do farmer's walks (pick up the heaviest pair of dumbbells from a rack, walk away until you can't stand it, pick 'em up again and walk back).
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking 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.

grippers develop crushing strength, not grip strength. they're not the same thing at all unless you train with grippers in a particular way (rather than doing reps you do a full or partial close and hold it for a minute or two).

if you want to develop grip strength you can do heavy DB/BB holds, plate pinches, farmers walks, etc.

for me, the only thing I do is NOT use straps on anything. eventually your grip will develop on it's own once you start holding on to heavy weights for a minute or more at a time.

honestly most of my grip strength and forearm size came from raw deadlifts. like this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=vEVMDIRHe9A
