"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

What's the difference between doing them with wide grip and narrow grip?
 

"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.

different emphasis.

Don't worry about it. Take a shoulder grip width & pull.

Btw, switch to pull-ups or chin-ups. Better than machines.

Yeah I do them already at the end, I start with lat pulls though. Guess I'll be cutting that out.

alternate between pull-ups & chin-ups. Once you can do 15 reps, start adding weight.

-Good luck.

Hm, alternate how? One set of pullups, rest, one set of chinups, rest, one set of pullups, etc?
 

"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.

depends how often you train back. most routines train back (width) once a week, so it'd be one week chins, one week pullups.

Most of the time the wider you grip it,the wider it should make your back. Same applies to rows.
