"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.

Since breakup with gf 5 or 6 months ago I've been very dedicated to working out. I can only get there 2x per week, but with my rather slow recovery rate, it works. I've been getting noticed by a lot of broads who were indifferent to me before.

My pecs are lagging behind. I werigh 230 but only can bench approx. 255 right now. My tris are stronger than guys who bench 80-100lbs more than I do (I french pressed 90 pounds 9 times on Sunday) but my chest is lagging behind, visibly, even though it's what I value the most.

Suggestions?
 

"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.

well i hope with working 2x a week ur doing full body workout each day, then that would be fine. Are you sure your not working your chest TOO much? if not, then you should try a 3 day split, one workout every 2 days. Chest tris abs
back bis forearms legs shoulders, and on those restdays you can do pull ups and pushups and situps and leg lifts and bodysquats, just not intense, enough to get a small small burn. That has done wonders for me.

Are you working your back? Your chest cant get any bigger if your lats are lagging, work those lats man. In your chest workout do DIPS, flat bench, INCLINE bench ( important) and some flys, then its all good, DONT OVERTRAIN, eat well rest well good luck

Get your bench in the 300s for reps

You know you don't have to lift a lot to put on muscle mass right? If you want advice for pec development. Squats and deadlifts.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Paused bench if your tris are stronger than your chest. 2 sec pause at the bottom, 3 x 5

get some db flys in there for mass, switch up with barbells every other week to keep pecs guessing. Do some friggin dips, weighted if you can
