"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

listed in approx order of important

shoulder press
lateral raises
front raises
shrugs
reverse butterfly's

I loved upright rows, but I heard it messes the shoulders, so i don't do it. But when I did do it. . . man, that was quite the workout.

Lower back: deadlifts, hypers, good morning, squats, glute ham raises..

As for shoulders, not everyone is genetically predisposed to have the diamond shape. My own shoulders are well developed through a long time of benching, pressing and squatting but they still don't 'cap' .. just genetics.

However for overall shoulder development a press variation and laterals are probably all you need. shrugs and front raises are worthless in my opinion.. direct rear delt work is often unnecessary if your rows and deadlifts are high enough.
 

"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.

Military press and lateral raises did it for me. Rear delt gets worked through pulling movments for back. <3 5x5 <3

May you post a pic of guys with similar muscle mass, one with the diamond shape and one without it?
I've never heard of it so I don't understand what it means
