"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's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Neck bridges holding plates on your chest. I prefer the version where you lie on your back.

I did this to strengthen my neck to take punches better, it worked, though it could just be a placebo effect. This is a well-respected exercise for boxers.

Its a great workout, just dont cripple yourself. Read this article.

"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.

the pic is pretty much the bottom position. Use your neck to bring your torso just above the ground, dont let it touch. Imagine lieing with your back flat on the ground and legs pulled in towards you, knees bent. then push your hips up and adjust your head so it is supporting your bodyweight.

use your neck and legs to a lesser extent like a spring to rock back upwards until the top o your head is resting flat on the ground. how this works for you depends on your flexibility.

never go to any point of discomfort.

keep it smooth and controlled at first, its a bit akward to learn. I found it worked best without a pillow, just a cushioned mat that your whole body is on. the pillow made it feel less stable and more dangerous.

try googling it for a video or pics.

Bring up your squat, deadlift and bench to good numbers and eat 2g of protein per lb.

I would work on your traps, deadlifts are a great exercise for your traps. I would also try neck bridges, but I dont think you will get thickness from that. I'll bet your neck isnt even that thin, your just focusing on it too much. And yes, not getting the last rep on bench blows, but I can usually struggle it up.

You can make or buy something that wraps around your head, and you can hand weights from it, and do "neck curls"....if thats your thing


But i'd prefer to build up my traps/back
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

theres a machine at my gym that puts pressure on the back of the head and you have to push it up, that helps alot..i use to do the neck bridge but i don't find it necesary..using your hands as resistance does a good job of building mass but its very slow.

find a way to isolate your neck and then abuse it every week because a big neck is very important.

if i remember correctly wolf is an mma fighter, which is partially why i recommended bridges, to build up knockout resistance. this is why i did them, and it helped.

if youre looking only for the bdybuilding aspect of it, take effort's advice and stick to the basics. i havent done neck work in 6 months, yet my neck looks bigger, which i attribute to deadlifts and overall mass gains.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

In 8th grade my neck was 14 inches, it's around 16 now.

My neck is the main reason people think I weigh 170lbs...even though I'm a light 150...:)

Shrugs - Upright rows - Neck Bridges

Your neck is like your calves, this is a tough body part to build as it is constantly being used.. Thus, taxing these muscles can be difficult (if your lazy). Naturally you will have to have proper: exercise, nutrition, rest.

You tube the exercises if you do not know what they are... Or hit a body building site for pics of "proper" form.

I've got a question, you know when you're spent after a squat routine, how your legs are jello. What happens if you hammer your neck lol


Gonna be a bobble head?
