"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.

Judge my chest/tri's and back/bi's routines.

Here's what I plan to do on my next back/biceps workout, I will log which weights I am using and then hopefully increase the weight gradually as time passes

Pull ups 3 x 5 (meaning 5 sets of 3 reps which is the most I can do with proper form)
Lat pull downs 8 x 4
Seated Row 12 x 3
Barbell row 8 x 4
Cable rope row 20 x 3
Dumbbell row 12 x 3
Dumbbell curl 16/12/8
Hammer curl 12 x 3
EZ-bar curl 8 x 4

Here's what I plan to do on my next chest/triceps workout.

Push ups 12 x 5
Bench press 8 x 5
DB press 12 x 3
DB fly 12 x 3
Incline BB press 8 x 4
Lateral delt raise 10 x 3 (Just a quick 3 sets of shoulder isolation after I do chest)
Tricep cable rope pushdowns 12 x 3
Tricep cable bar pushdowns 12 x 3 (with the V-shaped bar)
Tricep cable bar pushdowns 12 x 3 (horizontal bar)
Laying Dumbbell tricep extension dropsets 3 x (6/5/4/3 kg's to failure)
BB skullcrusher/press 12 x 3 (meaning 1 rep consists of a skullcrusher + a bb press. I want to combine the skull crushers with a BB press because if I do too many reps of skullcrushers I might get tondonitis. I plan on doing this with only the BB and no extra weight, aka 20kg.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You have waaay to much volume in there man. Remember that workouts should be between 45 minutes to 60 minutes long as that is when testosterone peaks, also stops you from over working. Workouts should typically be at most 21 sets and that is absolute max.

For chest/tri I do:
Bench Press 3x6 Superset dumbbell fly 1x15
Cable Chest Push 3x6
Tricep Pushdown 3x6

Back/bi:
Pullups 3x6
Bent over one arm row 3x6 superset lat bar pull down 1x15
Standing bicep curls 3x6
E-Z bar reverse curls 3x6

Personally I believe very strongly in the following:

Weighted Dips(Chest)
Weighted Tricep Dips(narrow position)
Weighted Chinups(Best bicep exercise hands down---not even close for 2nd place)

I like doing 5 x 5's for increasing strength and then will start doing 5/3/1's after I get to a fairly high weight...I run circuits of those back to back to back---Dips/Chinups/Tri Dips then rest for a minute or so and repeat...

You will pack on some serious size quickly as long as you are eating enough, sleeping enough and continuously increasing weights
 

"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.

Additionally, the acute increase in cortisol has been correlated with greater muscle gains Workouts should typically be at most 21 sets and that is absolute max. Why? I've done more, others do more, with great success

Bench Press 3x6 Superset dumbbell fly 1x15
