"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.

Lifting without a spotter?

Hey guys,

So I'm trying to devise a workout plan. I want to buy some free weights for lifting. But I have a problem: I live in an apartment all by myself. What should I do for a spotter? Should I just join a gym? My apartment complex actually has weight machines, but I want to use free weights.

Any advice appreciated.
 

"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.

Buy a rubber mat.

Do deadlifts and variations

Overhead presses

Chins, bent over dumbell rows

bench press, you'll need a bench;)

You could train for ages and get big and never do squats etc.

The trick with benches is do them before OHP and don't go to failure. Then do OHP, if you fail a lift it's ok.

A few months gym subs will easily pay for all your weights and they are yours for life.

with the price you will probably spend on free weights you may as well check out local gym memberships. Personally I had a hard time being consistent when I worked out at home. I joined a gym meet some folks and had an easier time. I quickly established a schedule and when I would miss a day the people working there would bust my balls about it. Kind of gave me the extra kick in the nuts to not miss a workout.
