"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.

Afternoon Gentleman, I have a nice spot in my basement where I would like to put a home gym, I'm not trying to get ripped, I already have a pretty good physique naturally, I'd just like to add some muscle.

Are home gyms any good, does anyone use one and can make a recommendation?
 

"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.

I've never been a fan of home gyms because you're normally pretty restricted in the amount of weight/equipment you can have. That being said aim to have the following:

- free weights and a good olympic bar
(Have at least 8 x 45 lb plates, 2 25's, 2 10's, and 2 5's. Also have pairs of dumbells: 10's, 20's, 30's, 40's, 60's, 80's, 100's)
- a good squat rack w/ a chin up bar
- a bench
- a dip station
- a weight belt
- a mat/some kind of pressure/force absorbing surface that you can drop weight if you need to.

That's pretty much it.

I have a great home gym setup. The biggest concern I have is safety when benching. I have a bench press called a "Powertec" strength. It works great. Get a barbell with a bunch of plates. Kettlebells and assorted dumbells. My home gym is for Muscle building. If you want to lose the gut....I feel that some kind of cardio class at a gym is soooooooooooooo much better than training alone because you are naturally pushed to go harder due to peer preasure.

If you're handy you can build yourself a squat rack which can be used as a dip station and bench press (you need one of those adjustable benches).
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Start to stretch first exercising with sit ups, pushes, and to work out you can lift weights. but don't overdo it use know your strengths you can do bench presses, butterfly clamps and have leg presses

Home Gyms are always good. As you can train whenever you got free time.

When i first started lifting and didnt have access to a gym. All i had at home was a curl bar and a couple dumbbells. I was still able to do some great exercises....

Shoulder Press (behind the neck)
Push Ups - Great for chest if you cant Bench Press, Cable Flyes also work great
Bent Over Barbell Rows
Arm Curls
Tricep EXtensions
Wrist Curls
Squats
Standing Calf Raises (Use a book to stand on.) OR Seated Calf Raises (Lay barbell across your thighs.)
Sit Ups

I'm sure theres some good local prices for old rusty weight equipment on Craigslist. Don't worry, your muscles dont care what the weights look like.. Though after a while a GYM can add more variety and weight.

I purchased a cheap sit up bench (£15) but mostly use this for decline sets. Decline skull crushers is a personal favourite :) - Also no need for a spotter, if you fail you can just rest rest the barbell of the floor behind you.

My pullup/dip station consists of a gurder and two tables.
