"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'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Deadlifts, T-Bars, Pull-ups.

I'm not sure if you mean back thickness or what. But you're probably going to want to blast your lats with lat pulldowns/pull ups.

Lol.... I guess I've been touting that a bit too much lately huh.

It's just, you get psyched up when you start making gains again... I'm talkin like 5- 10 lbs a week for several weeks in a row. You're just stoked on it, brah.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I know what you mean, I've been adding on average of 7lbs on to to almost everything recently by brushing up my diet, going truely intense and training balls to the wall. Although I think I might need that rest week a bit sooner than it was scheduled ;)

It depends on what you're looking to do. For overall back size just keep doing lots of heavy deadlifting.

for upperback thickness and fullness, do lots of rowing. rowing for the back is like benching for the chest, it builds the muscle with lots of thickness.

to widen the lats do wide grip pull ups, these stretch the lats and make them get wide.

hope this helps

That builds the lower back and middle back, but dont forget solid rear delts and solid traps. Just an after-thought.

Shrugs+bent over laterals to help with this.

I'm going to have to call bullsh!t on both of you. I don't see how it's possible to gain that much weight in a week. I would like to see your diets.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
