Is there a more beautiful exercise than the pullup? This thread is nothing more than a tribute to the simple chin.
"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.

I do pullups on everything. On the bar in my closet, on holds at the rock wall, on rafters at Safeco Field, hanging from railings..
I love the pullup.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Do you have a bar at home? There's a technique called "greasing the groove" that can help a lot. Let's say you can do five max. Every time you walk by the bar in your house, do two or three easy. Since you never get tired, you can do as many as a hundred a day like this. Some people have doubled their max in a week or two doing this. I went from not being able to do any one-legged squats to two or three with each leg by greasing the groove.mrRuckus said:
Pavel Tsatsouline's "Naked Warrior" covers this well.

Good idea. Ima Grease the grove too... Sounds funny.
"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.

Yes. The Squat. The Deadlift. A chick with a banging ass and sexy legs doing straight legged deadlifts. IMO anyways.doctoroxygen said:

Hey fool you're hella stupid. He was right. CHINUPS PALMS IN. Pullups palms out.[S]alvatore said:

Wide grip chin-ups with palms facing out? What category would that fall under with your logic?
"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.

Workout 2, 4th exercise down. This guy has been training for more than 10 years, now are you going to tell me it's poppycock? Bottom line, who gives a fu<k whether they're called chin-ups or pull-ups?
