"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.

Don't do abs three times a week.. they won't burn your stomach fat.

Otherwise it's a significant improvement on what you're already doing, yes.

2 days a week then? Should I do more than the 2 exercises I'm currently doing; maybe bump it up to 4 or 5?

2 exercises per bodypart is quite sufficient - less is more, remember.

do weighted chinups and dips instead of childish abs exercises
 

"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.

Then why do the most successful muscle-building programs use 1 or 2 exercises for bodypart?

If you can do 3 (or more) different multiple-set exercises for each bodypart at the intensity required to stimulate maximum growth, then I'm sorry, you're not training hard enough.

Though I should've been put off by the bbing.com thing .. :rolleyes:

Just a quick note, so I can time/date it.

I don't know if it's from running too much these past couple months or what, but I've got this horrible feeling in my left leg where it feels like my leg is coming out of the hip socket if I walk a certain way. I'm gonna stop all cardio for now until this feeling goes away. I know I could be doing other stuff like bike, swim, etc, but I think I'm gonna give it a rest instead.

I'm gonna pay special attention this next week or two to how much, if at all, this affects my ability to increase my lifting.
 

"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.

Got a question, and my updated stats are below (sorry, just keep forgetting to update here).

Would it be a good idea now to remove tricep extensions and arm extensions from the routine and add a couple more chest exercises, like incline press and maybe something else?
