"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.

Sup, quick question. What is the rep range most people use for getting big? I hear people saying you cannot be big while being so strong or so. Is it true (like diesel's thread to bulking up) that using rep ranges 4-8 is good for getting big, while getting a lot of strength too? I want to get big, but i also don't want to be weak because i want to be good in football next year. So, what rep range is best for both size and strength? ONe more thing, should you go to failure on every set, only last set, or never go to failure?



THANKS!


:D

"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.

Maxing out or going to failure on every set can be very taxing for your cns system. I don't believe it's necessary to go to failure everytime.

As for the rep range, it depends on you and what your body responds to. I personally am a low volume guy, so I try to stay in the 4-8 range.

i do 4 sets, 12, 10, 8, 6,

and thats been working for me so.

i personally think u should not stick to anything just one week do

3 sets 4-8 reps

another week

4 sets 12-10-8-6 reps

3 sets 12-12-12

etc keep switching

I think the way ur body works out should be plastic, since ur body grows and adapts to whatever.

It depends on your level and what exercises you are doing.

Compound movements, 6-8 is ideal. Isometric, 10-15.

Im on the other side of the fence when it comes to training intensity. Train till failure, as much as possible. You are there to stress and break down muscle, not to do cardio.

Esp these days since everyone screams overtraining at every opportuinty. If you are doing less then 12 work sets on any given day, training to failure is a neccesity.
 

"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.

I do 1 rest/pause set. Do about 8 to failure... take off 15-20 seconds... do as many as i can to failure... take off 15-20 seconds... then as many as i can to failure....which ends up between 11-20 total reps usually.

Works and i don't spend all day in the gym watching other guys do 4 bicep exercises at 3-4 sets apiece....

and i can avoid the creepy guy who came up to me and said "don't think i'm creepy, but do you believe in divine healing?"
