"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Your wrists aren't a muscle, so no I don't think you can make them bigger without some kind of surgery.
I see guys doing forearm exercises at the gym all the time, but I've heard simple compact exercises work out the forearm enough to where you don't even need to.
Some of the dudes with the biggest forearms don't work them out individually, but get size off other exercises that hit the forearms.

"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.

You can do isolated forearm exercises or just do a lot of heavy reps of deadlifts or big sets of a clean and jerk. I'm not sure what else would help you bulk your forearms really.
More importantly - a question that actually makes sense - are there any knwon techniques for increasing wrist STRENGTH?? My wrists are quite weak and this affects my benchpress negatively, altering my grip and causing all sorts of difficulties. Anyone have a similar problem?

I've run into trouble when doing the things I mentioned above, but never with bench press. Do you use straps for deadlifts or anything else?dispatch said:

I used to use this http://www.wristbuilder.com/howto.htm picard, back in the day. I purchased and broke two of them, because I used it will watching TV etc. It did develop strength and circumference there, I think.
"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.

Picard,
I've done much research on this subject. I was born with puny forearms/wrists so I made it my mission to bring them and my calves up to speed. That's where you can tell a natural athlete just from looking at them, in the wrist size, calf muscles and shoulder width. They will still appear strong even if they've never lifted a day in their life.
My advice is, if you don't have that natural build, then go for the natural look. Cut down so there's not much bodyfat, you look bigger and stronger that way even if physically it's not there. Fingertip pushups are a way to quote on quote "gain" some natural hand strength. If you can do 50 fingertip pushups then your forearms are strong. I try to work my hands as much as possible in many different angles/ways. Shovel work, twisting newspapers, hanging by your fingers, etc. do this.
Deadlifts, wrist curls and other heavy bodybuilding exercises will give you some beef in the upper forearm if you really push it and it will definitely give you some added hand strength. However I failed to get the desired "natural look" from this path plus, due to a back injury, I abandoned spine compressing movements altogether, so I've experimented with a number of workouts.
Grippers never did anything for me, although I do wish I had some variable weight ones. They may do the trick.

When I do martial arts every Sunday, the guys make everyone aware of my "flexibility" and that it will take longer for me to tap out of a lock. I think it's due to all the wristbuilding I did in my late teens early 20s.

Hey,
I was just curious, with the exclusion of wrist rollers (my gym doesin't have them,) what are some good exercises for increasing wrist size? I'm not that big of a guy, I just got over my inital "do everything wrong" phase, so I want to make some informed choices. That, and lifting 40lbs dumbbells with 12" arms and 5" wrists looks ridiculous.

"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.
