"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I want to bulk up but at the same time i want to maintain the same speed or become even quicker. I want to be able to run faster, swing faster, jump faster while being much stronger.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Squats, Deadlifts, Plyometrics, Sprints should help. I would recommend that you gain mass in your lower body first and then switch to explosive exercises like olympics lifts, sprints and plyo's.

No.
 

"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.

I suppose, if you did enough of them for long enough, with enought weight it could compress your spine slightly, but after you go to sleep and wake up it should decompress, same thing happens just from being up and about all day.

I would say do something similar to Diesel's bulking phase, except with cardio, and with more explosive exercises such as clean and jerk, Finnish squats, kettlebells, snatch and whatnot added to the regiment.
