"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"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.
What, deadlifts x 50reps? Why?Credos said:
You can replace deadlifts with rack deadlifts. Set the safety pins up in the power rack with a barbell on it such that the barbell is about 2" below your knee. Rack deads rely far less on the quads, hamstrings and glutes, but they're good for overloading the back (more weight can be used than floor deadlifts).
Kettlebell clean and press... ---> Barbell clean and press?

Low weights, but doing it a lot more, so that the muscles become used to the weights and grow more "Solid"...shaunuk said:

Deadlifts 10 (sets)x 3-4 (reps) 85% max effort
(I don't know your level of fitness but I am assuming you are well enough off to do 10 sets if you are already doing 50 reps with 135)
weighted pull ups 6 x 5-6 reps
clean & press 6 x 7-9
Push ups 100 as fast and as much as you can
curls 6 x 8-10
rest until COMPLETLY recovered then repeat,could be three days could be five-as you become progressivly stronger you may have to increase your resting time.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

If you want "solid" muscles, low reps are the way to go. If you want "pretty" muscles then pump out reps of about 8-12.
I prefer the 4-6 range. Builds mass, and builds it solid/strong.
If deadlifts hurt, you're doing them wrong.
