I've decided to get serious about working out, and I've got some money saved up so I'm going to buy some equipment. I was thinking of getting a weight bench w/ a squat rack, dumbbells, and maybe a flat bench. Is there anything else I should get? Space is an issue, I don't have too much room to place everything....thanks
"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.

"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.

If deadlifts suit you, you don't need a power cage. Just do Deadlifts, OHP, bent over rows etc. All possible to failure without saftey gear.
You probably need a bench, but some people gain huge amounts all over without benching.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Dips, and if people where to squat and deadlift heavy combined with overhead presses, the chest will grow to a some extent without bench presses. Certainly more than guys who bench but don't do serious back, hip and leg compound exercises.
You'd need some padding on the floor for that though, cause sometimes you just want to drop those 200-300 pounds.Originally posted by Alpine
