"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.

Is it true that for every one chest workout, you would want to do 2 back workouts?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Its hard to say given that we are all made differently, personally I noticed that adding an extra back+shoulders day MADE A HELL OF A DIFFERENCE especially working on the back part of my delts...it makes me look much fuller and stronger while doing wonder for my V-shape.

Many people underestimante the visual impact of delts, some dont even bother to train them directly thinking that arms and shoulders grow anyway while training chest and back...no way at all, the growth there is minimal.

What are you training for? Go sport specific. You can aim for the adonis ratio if you aren't competing. No routine is for everyone. You can do 23 and me and get it transcribed. You can adjust the read and go forward. Training, diet, lifestyle and proceed following your results.

Yes. Not necessarily workouts but keep that ratio. I had shoulder pain for the longest and it vanished completely after just two months on that ratio. Also had a noticeable posture improvement. The back is a lot bigger and stronger than the chest, so it can handle the load.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Just cut your extra pounds bro and the V shape will come . You are built like a tank, no doubt your shoulder wide is way bigger then your hips if you are shredded.

Depends. I would certainly balance out every push movement with a pull. Bench press/Row. Military press/Pullups. Dips/Deadlift or Power Clean/Hang Clean.

The best overall width I got was from Power Cleans and Military Press. Sometimes I would do the Jerks with the Power Clean if I needed to get through a plateau.
