"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I heard this is the best exersice for legs. How often should I do em? Some of the people here say they only do em once in a while. Would doing these once a week be over training?
 

"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.

I'd do them once a month if at all... they're mostly of use for plateau busting I'd say. To most people they're done as a way of going as all out as possible, just expending maximum effort, I wouldn't say 20 rep squats are the best leg exercise.

Yeah, I'm curious as to that too. If squats aren't the best leg exercise, then I'm very eager to find out what is...

I'd do them once a week. If I had the consistency, I WOULD be doing them once a week. Now I'm on break, and the school weight room might be closed, still trying to find that one out.
 

"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.

Leg extensions, obviously. :nono:

No squats are obviously the best leg exercise. I'm speaking about doing 20 reps in comparison to the traditional sets. I think they're good every once in a while, I'm just not sure about doing them once a week...

Each to their own though.

That I could understand. I thought you meant squats all together.

I don't think you have any evidence either way except some vague emotional "feeling" you get based on nothing.

Cable crossovers are proven to be the BEST chest developer on Earth, in other news.

Nope I don't. But then, if 20 rep squats are the best things possible for your legs, why aren't 20 rep bench press and 20 rep deads prescribed constantly?
 

"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.

There is no best excersize for anything. I do 20 reppers about once a month because that's how they best fit into my program. There are, however, cycles in which you do 20 rep squats 3x a week and still put on serious mass. Of course the program is focused primarily on squatting with just a few assistance excersizes afterwards. Look up "super squats" or "squats and milk" if you're interested in learning more.

The basic principle is you take your 5RM and after 6 weeks you will be able to do 20 reps with it. Let's say your 5RM is 300lbs. You will have 18 sessions, during which you increase weight by 5lbs/session. so, 18 x 5 = 90. 300 - 90 = 210. Your first session you will do 210x20, next session 215x20, etc. You'll be so burned out the other excersizes (just some push pull movements) will be for assistance purposes and to keep the rest of your body in check. I'm planning on doing this cycle sometime next year myself.
