"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.

Increasing you back

"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.

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.

"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.

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.
