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.

yes, its very possible that the two or three random guys you quoted off bb.com as being proof that hit doesnt work may not have done it correctly
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

It's not that it doesn't work, there are just better ways to train. I understand what he's trying to say in regards to recovery, but here's the issue:


Muscle protein synthesis is elevated for 48 hours, which means it is ready to be trained again after that amount of time. So why the hell would you wait 168 hours to hit a muscle again? That period of time will cause the muscle to start detraining.

He harps on about recovery, because you're going to failure and beyond. Training like this drains your central nervous system more than your actual muscles. It takes longer than 48 hours for your nervous system to recover, hence why it is better to leave 1 or 2 reps in the tank. You'll still be able to have an effective training session on the same muscle group in a couple of days time. Going to failure and beyond? No.

Who's going to make better gains? The person that squats/benches 156 times per year, or the one that squats/benches 52 times per year?


Have an open mind about training and nutrition, don't get married to one particular style or routine.
