"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.

Increasing you back

"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
 

"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.
