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.
"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.
howcome no one here does dips?

"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.

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.

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.

"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.

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...
misunderstood??
Master Don Juan
