"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.

I've always lifted on and off so I have a basic idea of what my arms are supposed to feel like the day after a workout. I did bi's yesterday and thought it was a pretty good workout, got a great arm pump, worked the muscle to exhaustion, etc, but today I don't feel anything. No soreness or pain or anything. It used to feel like I wouldn't be able to bend my arm for a day or two. I've been upping my protein, and taking creatine/glutamine pills, but I don't think that would change much. Did I do something wrong?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Adding weight to the bar and keeping good form is what you need to worry about.

Post your workout up.

Stop worrying about soreness (which i'll say again is not a good indicator of a good workout) and focus on whether or not you have been making size/strength gains.

After a while, you muscles will get in better shape, and even though you will make gains you wont feel much soreness, I have made huge gains after working out straight for 6 or 7 months, and I didnt feel sore at all, it just happens.

Equating soreness to a good workout is no good.

Are you adding weight, doing more reps between workouts, that's your best indicator from workout to workout and will lead to big arms.
 

"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.

Soreness = Protein degridation.

When you're in better shape, not as many fibres tear themselves down, allowing for faster recovery times, and less feelin' sore.

Just because your muscles dont completely break down though doesn't mean that they can't grow.


Think about it, would you rather build a wall, nock it down and build it higher.... Or just add bricks to the wall you've already made?
