"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I've seen several training schedules and none of them involve dips. I have to wonder why that is, dips are among the best ways to build up your upper body. Infact, if your'e familiar with the UFC you may know a guy by the name Carlos Newton. He's a big muscly jiujitsu master, my god this guy is cut. But the thing is he never lifts weights. The only thing he's done to get more muscular (besides jujitsu) are dips. If doing only dips can make someone as strong as it made him, I would imagine it'd be a hell of an asset to your routine.
 

"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.

he's cut, not huge. Dips aren't a great mass builder unless you start hanging weights off your belt. And most of our splits have pecs and tris on seperate days. The dips work both of them. They're a good overall excersize though.

Hey thanks for reminding me. I want to add these back to my arm routine.

I like dips, they are tough and seem t obe more of a functional strength exercise (especially for those gymnasts out there)

My current split i do chest and tri on the same day so i'm doing dips, they are a great exercise. This is what my chest-tri day looks like:

Chest:
Flat bench press
Incline dumbell press
Dumbell flys

Triceps:
Dips
Close grip bench press

Although i've been thinking about giving arms their own day so this might change.

"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.

I just started doing 5 rep, high set routines on it with the chin assist machine (because I can't do 5 reps of dips yet). It left me sore for 4 days after only about 4 sets! Needless to say, I'm doing more dips from now on...
