"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.

Okay i have been forgetting what weights i have been doing. So im going to start this up just ro remember.

INFO: Last 4 weeks i have been doing MAX-OT style training and plan on changing that in 2 weeks to more intense training to shock the muscle (Supersets, 30 second rests, etc) for a 4 week period. Then i will have a break and its back to good ol' MAX-OT.

Day 1: Chest (Friday 1 july)

Bench press

95kg * 6
100kg * 6
110kg * 4

DB Decline Bench Press

80kg * 6
85kg * 5
90kg * 4

DB Incline flyes

17.5kg * 6
20kg * 6
22.5kg * 4
 

"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.

Possibly because flyes are a chest isolation, while flat bench press includes a helluva lot of delt and tricep work?

it sounds like a good explanation, since i have rare possibilities to train my triceps (i workout at home)... i'll wait and see sammo's lifts for shoulders and triceps, so we can see if you are right:)

Haha yeah that is confusing. Recently i went to a bodybuilding camp with 2 of Australia's best natural bodybuilders. There i learnt form for flyes that isnt normal, it involved dropping my weight alot. I reccomend it to everyone though, it involves putting your shoulderblades close as much as possible until they 'lock in' and this forces you to arch your back, dont worry its not dangerous since flyes don't put pressure on your back. Tense your abs to stabalise yourself.

Yeah, flyes are meant to be an isolation exercise and i have found this to be an extremely effective way of isolating your flyes. I try to bend my elbows a minimal amount as well.
 

"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.

This may have alot to do with it also even though ive never thought of it. My Tri's/Shoulders are by far my strongest bodyparts.
