"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.

YO, i know you guys know a whole lot about working out, supplements, and such. I'm just wondering, Is a bowflex worth $800? I mean it guarentees results in 6 weeks ( it doesn't say what kind of results though :crackup: )

Thanks in advance
 

"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.

With any type of training you'll see results in a few weeks as long as you stay on a training schedule and not blow your gains by over eating the bad stuff. The thing that is most important is to find a training program/equipment that you enjoy. If you enjoy it, training won't feel like such a chore.

if i were you i would just get a membership to a gym. in the gym they have TONS more machines, and you only pay for it for as long as you want(for instance, my membership fees are 20 bucks a month, no contract). and i can play basketball, swim, lift, cardio, pretty much whatever. so to answer your question, no i wouldnt buy it.

some say bowflexes dont work because our muscles are designed to work with gravity based resistance, the bowflex doesnt really provide that

Who say? That's the stupidest **** I ever heard. How do you explain the Hand Grippers to work out your forearms then?

Resistance is resistance. If your muscles are pushing against it then they are doing work.

I do have bowflex at the house however i hardly ever use it becuase I'm in football and most of my workout is done at the schools weight room. Thing is when you use a bowflex you dont need a spotter.(benching ect.) Also it is also possible to get the v-shape body its just about the determination and the sweat you put into it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

So the excercise to get the V-shaped body is part of the routine?

You could just bench with dumbbells if you don't have a spotter. Or front squat instead of back squat. Etc etc...

Like someone already posted, I hear about how people max out the weight on the things a lot and end up breaking them. Bowflex is not designed for serious lifters, IMO. If you want to lift, use freeweights-- Machines will not strenthen your ligaments along with your muscle, whereas free weights will.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I AM SETTLING THIS THREAD ONCE AND FOR ALL SINCE I AM THE MASTER HERE.

BOWFLEX:

1. BOWFLEX WILL NOT MAKE YOU BIGGER.

2. BOWFLEX WILL TONE YOU.

3. BOWFLEX WILL GIVE YOU SMALL STRENGTH GAINS.

REGULAR GYM:

1. GYM WILL MAKE YOU BIGGER.

2. GYM WILL TONE YOU BUT ON A LESSER SCALE THAN BOWFLEX.

3. GYM WILL GIVE YOU BIG STRENGTH GAINS.

BOWFLEX TV COMMERCIALS:

1. ALL OF THE ATHLETES FILMED IN THE COMMERCIAL DID NOT USE BOWFLEX AS THEIR PRIMARY GYM EQUIPMENT

GENDER-WISE:

The boflex is a good idea. In theory.

Its not as useful as gym weights though. You probly could get in great shape with it though (depends on how high the weight setting goes).

But barbells, dumbells, and cable machines (my favourite) are superior to the bowflex.

Its not meant to be a replacement for the gym. Its just one of those things that you use once in a while.

And besides have you seen the HBs in some of the gyms? Whoooweee!!! :woo: :woo: :woo:

Why the hell would you want a BOWFLEX? Get your ass in a gym. You get a great workout and after you chill and look at all the sexy ladies. And maybe if you got your game together, you can do more than look.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
