"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.

Why are free weights considered more efficient for bulking up? I have been using machines as well as free weights for about 4 weeks and the results have been good. Is there any specific reason to cut out the machines? If so, is there any point in the future that would be ideal to begin using machines again?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

restricted rom (un natural movements)
can cause injury
free weights recruit more muscle fibres
Compound movements can only be performed with free weights

basically, the machines which are worth a sh1t are:

*Leg press (Alternative for squats)
*Calf raise machine (calf raises on block with dumbells superior)
*Lat pulldown (Pullups superior but good if you cant do pull ups)

I'd disagree with the leg press and lat pulldowns. For lats, yes, pullups are superior, but the pull downs hit a bit different. For legs??? Never cut out squats, but the leg press are a good easy way to isolate those quads.. and kill them after a buncha squats.

Machines Isolate, don't use stabilizer muscles, and some are pure crap.

Free weights rock, and face it, you look more manly. So don't be a wuss, grab some real weight.
