"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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Started back on squats again, not sure whether its the right thing to do, my left knee feels funny.
3x5 Standing Military Press (2x5 60lbs, failed on 2nd set 3rd rep. Last set: 55lbs failed on 4th rep)
3x5 Bent Barbell Rows (2x5 90lbs, dropped to 85lbs on last set to mantain form)
3x5 Squats 95lbs
Been a long time since I did squats, gonna start upping squat weight next week.
"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.

Bad workout today, probably didn't get enough food before workout sincr it was in the wee hours of the morning.
3x5 Squats 110lbs
3x5 Standing Military Press 60lbs (failed last set 4th rep)
3x5 Bent BB Rows 85lbs
Will leave my workouts to after school when I am able to get enough energy 1 hour preworkout from now on.
"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.

Ugh today was a so-so workout. I just HAD to check my phone just before I was about to bench. My chemistry teacher decided to give me a 0 for skipping a lecture which was a total waste of time, I could plan my time better without it. Needless to say I was taken out of the zone for my bench though I didn't really care about getting 0. (Note to self: Use a real stopwatch instead of the phone timer instead.)
3x5 Bench Press 85lbs (Could have done 90lbs if I was focused enough.)
2x5 Squats 120lbs
1x5 Deadlifts 140lbs
After 2nd set of squats I had this really weird feeling just directly below my left knee. As if something was loose in there. Definitely could've finished the last set but didn't want to risk messing up my knee again. Overall still good, increased loads on DLs and squats.
Any idea what feeling it might be? I make sure my knees don't drift forward too much during the squat and still keep my knees shoved out when ascending. Back locked, no movement of barbell.

I witnessed typical chump behavior at the gym today. HB7 walks in, bam, 3 guys start chatting her up, showing her how to use the weight machines (lol). Enough about that, squats are getting tougher day by day but still as awesome.
3x5 Squats 120lbs (nailed it)
3x5 Standing Military Press 60lbs
3x5 Bent BB Rows 90lbs
Haven't been doing standing militay pressss and bent rows for quite some time now due to coincidentally missing em on my busy days. Will rack up the weight next week for rows and presses.
"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.

2x5 Squats 125lbs 1x5 Squats 120lbs (Felt I couldn't take the last 125lbs set to finish so I lowered the weight)
2x5 Standing Military Press 65lbs - more on this later
3x5 Bent BB Rows 95lbs
Okay so the only thing I see that's not progressing is my Military Presses. Today I tried doing 65lbs sets but on the last set I failed on the 1st rep. 60lbs is easy for me but 65lbs is too hard.
So I have a question here, should I increase intensity of 60lbs military presses (i.e reduce rest time) or should I juat reset the weight and climb back up again?

Damn my dad passed a flu-bug to me. Now I feel jelly all over (congested nose, sore throat, coughing) , no choice but to lie in bed and pass on my workout. I want to push this through so bad but I'm afraid I might end up worse than now.

3x5 Squats 120lbs
3x5 Standing Military Press 55lbs (failed last rep)
3x5 Bent BB Rows 85lbs
Decided to take things slow first since I just recovered fron flu. Was focusing on form on rows today and I decreased resting time for presses to 2 minutes. Will nail presses with 2 mins breaks inbetween sets before increasing the weight again.
