"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Squats and Deadlifts: HOW do they produce overall growth?

"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.

1 set doesn't seem enough for that workout I posted, surely 3 sets for each exercise would be better.

they'd probably grow more if you didn't curl at all at least in the beginning. but if anything curl at the end of the workout if you have the energy.Master Bates said:

How about this...
Squats - 4x10
Deadlifts - 4x10
Benchpress 4x10
Seated rows 4x10
Do this 3 times a week?

"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.

Just done Squats (3 x 1), Deadlifts (6 x 10) Benchpress (5 x 10), Rows (3 x 10), Tricep Extensions (3 x 1)
I usually do chest and triceps on a Tuesday (4 sets for each) but today they don't feel tired or sore. Feel like someone's torn me a new arsehole though it's killing.

Just go with one of the posted routines, you'll burn out on that one quick.

gained me 60lbs in 2 years, that kinda routine did. Quagmire and Wolf from this board also use it to good effect (maybe other guys too?)NickSCFC2000 said:

"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.
I gained about 30 lbs doing that, maybe more (I can't even remember what my starting weight was).Warboss Alex said:
EDIT: Just read one of my old posts and I started off at 130lbs 2 and a bit years ago, (underweight) and was 190lbs yesterday.

I put on roughly 8-10lbs of muscle and lost 8-10lbs of fat in 4 months from that routine + cardio... Would have gained a whole heap more muscle if I knew how to eat back then as well. All I was having was chicken and veggiesWarboss Alex said:
Also PRed squat and deadlift at 325(+140lbs from starting point) for reps on that routine, so I definitely support it. I added lunges to leg day, dropped leg press and added 20 rep squats.
Added around 90kg to my deadlift, 60kg to my squat, 50kg to my bench press. Weights would be higher if I hadn't skipped so many squat and bench days in the past and had some looooong lay offsQuagmire911 said:
. Oh well. I just started a madcow 5x5 intermediate routine so I'll see where that takes me; it's been all good so far.Warboss Alex

Great work Simon and Quik
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
