"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.

Usually when I'm doing 8 reps of 3 sets of decline, straight and incline presses on my benchpress I get to a point of muscle failure and usually don't feel stiff at all the next day.

After waiting a minute or to, I have recharged but can only do under 4 reps if I contiinue.

Would it be more benefcial, to decrease the weight and do 4 sets, keep the same weight and do 3 or increase the weight and do 1-2 balbuster lifts??


Any ideas?? thanks!

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I'm not one of the most knowledgable here, but I know this is a guideline I normally use for myself that has worked well.

Normally I try to go for a 10-8-6 or 8-6-4 workout with increasing the weight for each set. For my chest stuff, with dumbells, I'll do a 10-8-6 and increase by 5 lbs each time... I pick a weight so I can barely do the third set of 6.

On a flat barbell bench, I'll do a 10-8-6-4-3.. start at 145 and add 10's on each side for each set...

Hope some of that may help

if u want to bulkup/size gain
basically it depends upon ur goal... to decrease or not...

the minimum rep for per set is about 5-6 without support...
if u can do 8 reps without support increase the weight...u'll be able to handle 3-4 reps with increased weight too...

as per contrary belief more sets with same weight or less weights n lots of reps... will give u muscle strength/overall strength...
try this for one month and then u'll see u can increase ur weight lifting capacity really good...
