"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"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.
I did a couple weeks ago, I was surprised at how shytty my deadlift form looked from the side... kinda a hybrid of straight leg/floor deadlift.
I've since been working on getting my ass lower, but this is more just a pointless question

"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.
Double, no man, I just switch it around a little, it feels good to get fresh workouts from time to time.
Silver, I intake about 8 scoops of whey a day and 1 litre milk... I can't afford meat at the moment so I go for this. that's like 200 g protein. Seems to work for me.
And you ****ing **** I am going to ***** you so ****ing **** that your *** sticks out of your ****** mother****ing ******* come over here and I'll **** smash in your *** so it bleeds all over you ****ing ******* =D
no kidding dude.
I was home and drinking a little ouzo from my bottle. Pretty bored, chilling. A girl called me up and wanted me to come to a club. I thougtht what the hell and left dressed in a pair of jeans, a wife beater and a pair of sneakers and an attitude from hell. Put on a jacket too and left.
I was walking down the street and noticed some dangerous elements walking about. Two gangs, I clenched my fist and my ribbling quadriceps and awaited an attack at any moment. But nothing happened to my relief. I let loose of my flexing walked calmly forward.
When I came to the club I removed my jacket and flexed my triceps and walked up the stair ALPHA way. Found the girls who called me and I went forward and introduced myself. We talked for a while, there were some guys they knew there too. One had an Iron Cross.
I walked to the dance floor with my head held high in true swedish tradition. We danced for a while and then I ordered two beers and glunked down pretty fast. Returned to the dance floor and let loose like a ****ing god.
One girl told me that the other liked me, (duh!) I wouldn't have noticed this myself. I continued to dance with them and then we went out to take a smoke. I said I didn't smoke because I trained. =) Well.. I was ****ing bored so I started to make out with the girl that liked me. Yeah, it was fun. Then we returned and danced some more.
Anyway.. I took another beer again and I didn't seem to find them, what a drag I thought and looked a little until I cought my eyes on a cool girl. I walked to her and introduced myself, flexing my stomach. It seems I had partied with her before so I took her to the dance floor for some grinding.. she was all into me... I saw that, and who can blame her? Her friend told me he would beat me down if I touched her. I was not afraid of him.. but he was joking.
After the dance and showed of my biceps I walked to another bar and I meet up with the other chicks. Now I had to think fast so I flexed my calf and introduced the girl I had made out with to the other girl and told her we had partied together when I graduated from school. They was about to walk to another side of the club. I told them I'll come in just a second, then I asked the bartender for a pen and gave it and a paper to her and told her to write down her number. She did, I read it to her with one digit wrong and she corrected me. So it was pretty good. Hugged her and walkt to the other chicks.
blablabla... alot of **** happened which was boring.. I was cool, blabla.. flexed my muscles... drank some beer... made out some more... went home to the girl... blabla.. no condom.. I was pissed.. got some sleep and walked home.
"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'm gonna cruise for a week or so, take it off. My body's telling me to chill out...
...but dude!! Yesterday, on my last workout (back/bi) before taking a week off.... I went up to heavy deads, and got 405 for 2 (w/ straps
). It was some sick shyt man, I was stoked vanwilder

"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.
Anyway.. today I freaked out on the weights. Lack of sleep and bad eating since I started school has made my weights drop, but now I focus more than ever. I'm back and this and the last workout actually turned out well.

Don't go for one-rep maxes. Leave that to the bench-boy competitions, just work up from your 140 with good form, hell next time put on 142.5, there's no shame in only a 2.5kg weight increase.. even 1.25kg if you're stuck. Doesn't seem much but it adds up.
As for the triceps, see reverse kickback comments on Silverwex's thread, to be honest I can't see how the hell triceps are involved in a deadlift unless you're doing something wrong like pulling it up rather than back with your shoulders at the end?
Your arms are just hooks, they're not directly involved at all.
