"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.

My biggest challenge has been building up my forearms and wrists.

I do wrist curls, reverse curls, and wrist rollers, but my forearms and wrists still lag behind everything else.

I've used heavier weights with very few reps and moderate weights. Right now my training regimen is usually a reverse pyramid regimen, which is doing great for everything else with little time requirement.

Any suggestions?
 

"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.

Bowling is a sport that will condition at least one of your arms and wrists! =)

Hahah no wonder I have a bigger left bicep.

Try medium to high rep pullups and chins, clean-grip deadlifts, and kettlebell workouts (applicable with dumbbells too).

The wrists are really hard to build up since your skeletal frame doesn't grow much. I heard somewhere on this site that the forearm can be worked on by doing curls "closer to the body," but I haven't tried this form.
