“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

The days I am not lifting the weights, I am planning on smashing the punching bag (every punch as hard as I can).

But I hear boxing is a good form for burning off fat.

Would this affect my bulking ?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

wrap your wrists well ,but not too tight- do a full body stretch and work the bag,combos,bobbing and weaving,jabs,power punches..it's lots of fun and a hell of a workout..the side benefit is that you will be conditioned to become a better defend yourself if you ever need to,just make sure you constantly moving around the bag and not just standing still.focus on your foot work also and you'll be fine ,just make sure your eating enough or you will be burning all of your calories off as well as muscle..

have fun

You'll build muscle if you're out of shape. If you already work out, it will have more cardio benefits than anything.

Bag Work = Money

Great cardio... can even replace run work. I literally built a 6 pack from mere anaerobic and bag work, and no running.

Tackle the muhfugger if you need to... great workout.
 

"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.

Nothing but good baby.
Now sparring, there's something to get you feeling like a man. Taking a punch to the face then dropping him with a body shot. Great stuff!

No problem. You should probably pick up a pair of bag gloves if your planning on using it. Constantly bleeding nuckles gets old fast.
 

"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.

Actually, start off with lighter punches and build up to power punching and the like. Your body has to adapt to the shocks the bag sends through your body. Your tendons, ligaments and bones have to gradually harden up. Most experts recommend two light bag workouts a week to start with.

id say it depends on the bag.

at my gym downtown i was rockin the bag like no other. the next day my right lat was sore as ****! The bag was broken in tho and moved around pretty easily. I dont think id go all out on a new bag that was very stiff and hard (no homo).

How hard you initially go shouldnt be a factor, stop if you start getting those pains which arnt normal muscle tiredness. The main thing with heavy bag work is to allow sufficient time for your muscles to recover, anything over 4 times a week is too much.

I dont recommend trying to do a bulking cycle while doing regular heavy bag training, apparently cardio burns up calories you need for putting on muscle. Someone with more experience in bodybuilding should be able to aloborate on this.

That lat soreness, I totally feel yah. I played that virtual boxing game. It sense your movement and stuff. I'll explain later if you want.

Anyways...that was sunday and today, my lats, my upper back, my forearms n pecs are all sore. Lats and forearms the most though.

You can still bulk while you do cardio as long as you eat sufficiant calories. It's not as efficient to bulk while doing cardio, but it is a good idea for overall health.

*bump*

Hooray ! In 2 weeks my painters course finishes, & I can finally, FINALLY, get back to the gym !

Another question.

My plan is to do:
Monday: Legs
Tuesday: Chest/bi
Wednesday: Back
Thursday: Shoulders/tri

If I were to hit the bag on Friday/Saturday, would I burn myself out, or suffer muscle strain ?
