"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You don't want your legs to grow so you continue to do the high rep set which will cause more growth than the low rep set. Hmm.

And you want to quit squats because advanced moves work by momentum created by the hips, which is what squats really train.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Your post doesn't really make much sense to me.

You say you don't like squats since your legs are getting so big but your arms aren't, yet you ask for a substitute to squats. If there *were* to be a good replacement for squats, it would roughly work out the same muscles, which really doesn't address the problem you're complaining about.

Explain.


On another note, if you squat big, your arms are going to get big too. Squats simulate the greatest hormone release for muscle growth, so squats do contribute to stronger upper body.
