"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.

"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.

I just want to mention my heart ache is gone and I feel super again.

Today I feel a little heavier also, maybe I am touching 170 lbs? Isn't that the kick, or as we say in sweden.. det är vrålbajs!

Haha, thanks solid. I guess I am not a hardgainer after all. :] Just looked at your benches, they are totally insane!

Some more pics. What do you people estamite my BF to be? I'd say around 12-13% can this be correct? As usual I am loaded with food so I may look a little fatter than in the morning. I'm off creatine though.

nice pics lifeforce, your legs look great (trying not to sound gay and failing) and you're chests getting pretty well defined; give those legs a good blast tomorrow.

solid's an absolute machine - the guy can bench me

you look about 10% bf in those pics i'd say
 

"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.

Nice pics all the muscle on your body show really well. Yah I have to agree with gav your legs muscles look great. (also not in a gay way) The only muscle that show on my body are biceps, chest, shoulders, not to say I’m not gaining everywhere. I’d say your bf% 8-9 if you took those pics while your body was cold.

why would anyone only work one part of their body?

Not good workout XX

Legs + delts awesome combo

Squat 4x105 kg 231 lbs
Squat 3x105 kg <--- got down 10-15° below 90 so I had a really hard time coming up. It's not my strength that is lacking, it's my trust to the spotter.
Squat 6x95 kg

Leg press 8x160 kg Decreased the angle so it became heavier.
Leg press 8x160 kg 352 lbs

Stiff leg deads 9x60 kg 132 lbs
Stiff leg deads 8x80 kg 176 lbs

Hamstring curl 6x55 kg 121 lbs
Hamstring curl 4x55 kg 121 lba

Seated calves raise 10~x115 kg 253 lbs
Seated calves raise 10x124 kg 273 lbs
Seated calves raise 9x124 kg 273 lbs
Seated calves raise 10x124 kg 273 lbs

Military Press 7x40 kg 88 lbs
Military Press 4x40 kg 88 lbs
Military Press 6x40 kg 88 lbs

Upright rows 6-7?x35 kg 77 lbs
Upright rows 6x35 kg 77 lbs

I feel like doing 4-8 reps on delt because they seem to respond better to a little lighter training.

Got some pain in my lower back today, I really must find another exercise than stiff leg deads which is as effective. It hurts to give that one up, but I do not dare to increase the weight.

Today I saw a guy who used to hit me in elementary school. I was so chocked seing him. He was short, skinny (more skinny than me) and was being the group clown in a group. Man that felt good. No fantastic. Now I can't see why I was afraid of him. The big bad boy is now a little *****. :]

Thanks solid.

Here's what I like to do with RDL's (stiff leg).

Do 1 or two more exercises that will hit your hamstrings, like lunges (killer) or a modified back extension ( http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstrings/WTHipExtension.html )

Then, after you do your sets of those, use the stiff leg's to stretch them out. Keep the reps up at 10 or so, and do them real slow... feel the stretch as you go down. Keep the weight low too... between 95 - 135 lbs.

Pretty straightforward training. Heavy and intense. And there were only women in my gym and a couple of scrawny guys who looked at me all the time. For the first time ever I grunted rather loud when deadlifting those last reps on 115, haha... and the look on my face was priceless... Like I was taking a huge dump... :]

Actually the T-bar were homemade.. I took an olympia bar, stuck it into a corner, pulled a lot of weight on and stole a close grip thing from the cable machines... seemed to work good anyway. Way more intense than bent over rows. Thanks for the tip ben!

Haha that's how we used to do it at my old gym, that place was a sh!thole tho.
 

"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.

Yeah I totally agree mindovermater, I have been walking around this entire morning with the worst abstince ever. I try to pursuade me going there. :] And people actually have problem getting to the gym, I just don't get that.

Enjoy it double, rip your muscles to shreads and lift a couple of sets for me too. :]
 

"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.
