"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.

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 Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
