"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.

"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.

Hey dave, how much do you weigh and what are your lifts for the big 3 lifts? (squats, deadlifts, bench press)

Ultimately big arms come down to overall amount of muscle mass you hold. Therefore if you add some serious muscle mass using the mass building exercises (squats, deadlifts, bench press, barbell rows/pullups/pulldowns, shoulder press), and do your bicep curls as well, you're gonna increase the size of your arms. :)

gain 40lbs of overall musculature and your arms should have another couple of inches on them

Focus on the core lifts: squat, bench press, deadlit, rows,... & eat more. When you got those two your arms will look big.

the general rule is for every 15 pounds you gain (of quality muscle) you will gain 1" on your arms. the arms make up a very small portion of our bodies in terms of muscle, and truthfully, the best way to build the arms is to work on heavy compound exercises. i know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but this is the truth.

I would do bench presses, squats, dead lifts, hanging cleans, and other heavy, mass building exercises.

Let me tell you what you should NOT do:
* lift arms everyday
* lift arms more than twice a week
* spend 10 hours in the gym doing 1000 different exercises.

be smart about your training and diet.
 

"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.

Remember, that we all have different genetic traits. Some guys have more Type 2 fibers in theiir chest, back or whatever, and won't have much of them in their arms, or forearms, etc.
Don't beat yourself up.
You're a kid. Just 16.
You've got plenty of time.
Just don't be so over zealous and eager that you do everything wrong, andnever get results, and eventually injure yourself.
Don't become one of those guys that always say :"Yeah, I used to work out. I used to be buff, dude."
Do all the things the guys say to do on here, You'll do fine. Don't try to hurry up the process.
