"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.

The plan is to go Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.
Goal: Core body workout in quickest possible way. (Aim for no more than 2 hours per session)

The below is excluding warmup sets
(Reps x sets)

Day 1:
Squat 6x4
Clean & Jerk 1x8
Calve raises 6x4

Day 2:
Bench variations 6x4
Weighted Pullups or Wide Grip Pullups 6x4
Snatch 1x8 or OverHead Squat 5x4

Day 3:
Deadlift 5x3
Push Press 6x3
Hanging Leg-Hip Raise 6x3

and repeat each week.

How does it look?
 

"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.

Where did you get this from? I don't like it at all. No offense.

What are you doing for your arms? I see almost nothing there for your biceps and triceps beyond their use of stabilizer muscles. Very little for traps and delts too (shoulder girdle), nothing that's isolating them, anyway.

I never liked the clean and jerk. More of a power lifter thing, and always seemed like a good way to get hurt when throwing heavy weight around.

Honestly, $5 body building magazines are littered with work out plans on the month. I'd do that, or go get a body building book from a book store. For $25, you can get one of those Encyclopedia of Body Building books that will provide you with more well-thought out routines than you'd ever want to do (and realistically, you could find them online for free).

Why not just do a two day? In the gym less than an hour and a half each session, plenty of recovery time...

I tend to take longish rests between sets lol.. Bench and Deadlift together take close to 1 hour for me to complete. (Including warmup sets.) I am pulling quite a bit..

I've centered my workout around the big 3 for almost 2 years now. Then I learned the Oly lifts (heaps of fun too) and want to in corporate them into my routine. Back then my requirement is that I do not deadlift on the same day as squats. http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=134301

The Hanging Leg-Hip Raise was recently added because the deadlift has strengthened my back relative to my abs.. it's a rebalancing act.

However, I find the C&J very taxing as I'm basically doing max pulls on each rep. (if i reduce the weights then I'd have to go back to those annoying 10kg small plates lol).

P.S. More than happy to cut the calve raises out all together.

@MotownMack: I have never done a single set of bicep curl in the gym in my life. Huge guns is not a priority to me.
 

"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.

or maybe..

Day 1:
Squat 6x4 or OH Squat
Clean & Jerk 1x8
Hanging Leg-Hip Raise 8x3
Push Press 6x3

Day 2:
Bench variations 6x4
Deadlift 5x3
Weighted Pullups or Wide Grip Pullups 6x4
Snatch 1x8

Have tried doing C&J on the same day as Push Presses, couldn't complete all the sets though.

Is this shoulder work even neccessary if I do the C&J? or should it be replaced with trap work like shrugs instead?

In terms of training, basically hit every body part, so i dont get muscle imbalance.

In terms of trying to get somewhere for this, i want to compete for a weightlifting/powerlifting event somewhere down the road.

nothing wrong with it imo, just needs a military press.

weighted pullups & deadlifts>>>>>>>****ty bicep curls

And no need to buy mags & books, he just needs to head over to Iron Addict Forums, muscletalk, t-nation they have a ****lo of proven routines over there.

Hmm well if you wanna do powerlifting one day, have you looked int westside barbell routines? Really good for getting strength up :)
 

"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.

Westside would probably be a great place to start like Shaun and Effort have said.

Type westside barbell into google and try elite fts for info on it. Ironaddicts.com has some info on it as well.

theres a whole forum about it on ironaddicts.com
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
