"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 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.
I haven't spent any money on whey yet. You may not know this but flaxseed oil and vitamins are good for overall health of the body. I want to be healthy and fit not some bodybuilding freak. I am eating REAL food, just look clearly at my diet, chicken, eggs but i also added some pork, beef and tuna so get your facts right buddy.Mad Manic said:

MM is telling you the truth...a little nasty about it maybe...but the truth none-the-less. Your aren't just trying to be fit. You are trying to gain weight, and you do it by eating a lot. Although i think your diet is pretty good, and if you are gaining 4-6 lbs a month from it, then its perfect. Don't change anything. But if you aren't seeing any more than a pound or two a month, you need to change it.gtownjuan said:Today i confirmed my weight,120lbs. My height is 5ft 8. I really wanna bulk up. Is my diet allowing max bulk????
invest in whey immeditately. Get a 5 lb jar and have it before and after lifting. including 3-4 real meals, you will get big in no time. But at your size, like everyone says, there is no room to be picky on little details. Just 2-3 whey shakes and 3-4 real meals will do the trick.
"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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Often beginners aren't able to squat low because they lose their arch (for the above reasons-of course you can't change your torso/limb ratios). In this case you can try box squats or front squats. Then whilst you are doing that you work on flexibility until you are able to get to the lowest depth you can.
So I would try and get a video of you squatting to see whether or not you maintain an arch and to see whether your lower back rounds at the bottom. If so, you will have to do what I mentioned above. I lay out everything to do in JohnnyIrish's log if you need to do it.
Keep it up.
"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.
Looks like i forgot to record these older schedules.

95@5 there is this guy(he's always says "what you have in limited supply you must you as economically as possible") that points out where my technique is wrong and explains how to do it right. Quagmire911 i have good flexibility, its just that i hold too long when i at the bottom and find it hard to push myself back up. Anyway he started to explain all kinds of scientific theory of how a workout should be structured and how the different must part work and all kinda complicated stuff. Anyway, he says the weights im using is too light and that i can do more(cause i haven't reached failure). So i give it shot.
115@6 (the guys then helps me to perfect my technique)
125@5
135@10 failure @11 (i actually did these much better than the previous sets with even better form, they also weren't that hard for me to do)
I couldn't feel the strength to continue with any more exercises for this day. I will rest my legs for this week(the pain is starting to kick in) and only work my upper body.

Alright seriously thinking of switching to High Intensity Training to failure in one set. This is making more sense that just following a routine that i don't completely understand. HIT i understand and plan to switch to it Friday.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
