Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Nice on the liver tablets.
How long since you had a full week off? Sounds like it may be time. Deloads aren't enough sometimes.

"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.

Yeah...that was something i was debating...its been 4 months since the break. I'm a bit of an overdoer being that i don't like breaks. But its been hard in the gym lately, and i've been tired a lot more.
I thought about doing it for this week, but i just started that new format for incline and i didn't want to stop....ah...maybe i won't go today.

Back in the gym...FINALLY
For the last week i kept up on the cardio. I increased it to 50 minutes a day, and have been adding an extra 30 minutes at night. Results have been good. I'm already starting to look a little more cut. I still have been eating very well. I'll post the diet later.
Monday - went light today as it's my first day back
Squats - 3x5
1x5 230
1x5 235
1x5 240 - felt great and somewhat easy
legpress 1x15 330 lbs
Decline situps 2x10 50 lbs
Calve raises - 2x10 360 lbs
Good mornings 2x8
1x8 - 120 lbs
1x8 125 lbs
That about covers it. Wow, felt amazing to be back in the gym. I definitely feel great and a bit leaner. My gut is practically gone after 2 months...but i still don't fit in my old clothes...lame haha

Nice work! You sound recharged, tear those weights up!
Quagmire911
Master Don Juan
Great!
Remember this: If old trousers don't fit it might not be more fat around the waist, increase in hip flexor mass in particular will add inches around the waist although you may still be as lean.
Can't weight to see the training, I am thinking about a new system myself-looks intriguing. More on that soon.

i can't wait to hear about it Quag
"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.

Yeah i hope starting next week i can begin making gains on bench. I would like to incline 200 before the summer. Also starting next week its back to creatine again. So that should be good as well. Thanks Johnny and Quag...i hope everyone makes great gains

Liver tablets are just for extra protein, i average around 480 grams a day or more during the week. Although as of late i've been trying to eat an extra meal or two instead of having as much whey. And since doing this diet, my gains have been pretty damn good since November. I shall be putting up stats later.
I usually have about 4 solid meals (which have been getting bigger) and 4 liquid meals (almost all contain raw eggs) + liver tablets, fish oil, taurine, multivitamins, creatine (CEE)

Okay, well i was deloading last wed and fri...didnt see it need to log it, but here we go again this week.
I didn't break many PR's and i kept the squats a little lower to work on some extra reps in the last set, it was hard...but lots of fun. I hope to PR next week
MONDAY
Squats 3x5
1x5 280 lbs
1x5 285 lbs
1x8 290 lbs PR Rest pausing in its finest...gotta love it - one rep was just a tad below parallel..which sucks but i'm still counting it
Leg Press 1x15 - 380 (was suppose to be a PR...ah well)
Decline situps 2x10- Thanks johnnyirish for the DB idea...was able to go higher
1x10 70 lbs
1x13 75 lbs PR - and i could have added more weight for sure...
Goodmornings 2x8
1x8 - 180 lbs
1x8 - 190 lbs PR - Once again...i could have taken this a bit higher...but i think a 10 lb jump is decent
Calve raises - 2x10 (hold for ten seconds each)
1x10 - 435 lbs
1x10 - 440 lbs - wow....can i just say..these friggin hurt
Next monday...there should def be some more PR's. Here is the diet for a little extra fun for you guys to read...a little time constrained but it makes me wonder if i full out bulked how much i could eat
Meal 1 - 3 egg omellete, 3 slices american cheese, 6 sausage links, 2 scoops whey with 2 raw eggs - 2 grams taurine and 2 grams of CEE
Meal 2 - Deli sandwich on whole wheat, consisting of salami, ham, turkey, munester cheese, mayo, pepperoni - very thick...very delicious, i cooked it like a panini, 2 scoops whey with 4 raw eggs + 10 fishoil pills
Meal 3 - .4 lb naked burger with 4 slices of bacon, 2 slices or pepperjack cheese, a little ketchup + a salad (spinach, tomato, cheese, carrots) with 4 tbsp of olive oil and vinegar + 2 scoops whey with 2 raw eggs
Preworkout meal -
Meal 4 - 2 Scoops whey + 2 raw eggs...2 baked potatoes
Postworkout meal -
Meal 5 - 3 scoops whey + 5 liver tablets + 2 grams CEE
Meal 6 - .8 lb steak with crumbled bleu cheese, seasoned, cooked rare + a couple sweet potatoes with a little cinnamon and sugar and butter...amazing tasting
1 1/2 gallon water...
Macros numbers...i stopped counting haha
And i def could fit a little more food, but I'll wait till I'm full out bulking, still doing the WBA way and have a before and after pic i can put up later tomorrow...and since my last measurement of my arm (just for MM) it was 15.6 inches...and i haven't gotten fatter

"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.

here we go--November 1st, these were my stats compared to now....right column is total weight increase...none of these are 1rpms, but at one point during my training i was able to nail one good solid set of it...
Squats 3x5 - 180 lbs -----now---305 lbs (not rpm)---- +120
Leg press 1x15 - 255lbs ---now--380 lbs (not rpm)---- +125
Decline Weighted Abs 2x10 - 45lbs----now---75 lbs--- +30
Calves 2x10 ----------------330 lbs -now---440 lbs-- +110
Incline Bench 3x5 - 145lbs----now---- 180 lbs--------- +45
Skull crushers 3x8 - 35lbs ----now---- 45 lbs --------- +10
Dumbbell press 3x8 -50lbs ----now---- 60 lbs --------- +10
Lateral Raise 3x6 ---25lbs ----now---- 35 lbs --------- +10
Deadlift 3x5 ------- 305lbs ---now --- 405 lbs -------- +95
Bicept Curl 3x8----- 35lbs ---now----- 45 lbs -------- +10
Barbell Row 3x6 ---- 145 lbs--now-----185 lbs -------- +40
after looking at the stats...i see that Monday's workout i increased the most (and if you saw my legs its quite evident), with friday taking second place, wednesday being the worst, and there have been changes to that day to counter it...
I would def say my upper body is the most lacking in muscle size, with my back and legs taking the cake.
This was me before i started (don't have many of my body)---

After spending little over a year doing this (started last Feb cutting down unhealthly following Diesils guide wrong and going from 207 to 162 lbs - http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=126466, and if you read the diet you'll see why) using a very similar workout to now.
---this is me cut up the first time --
http://profile.imageshack.us/user/itallionstallion/images/detail/#518/16222jb3.jpg ---162lbs
from august to october i bulked extremely incorrectly, using weight gaining shakes (plus my metabolism was messed up from starving myself), no carb cutoffs, and i went up to 186 very fast...(back in those days i thought i gained muscle...but then realized it was mostly all fat) and cut down to 178 in october like i did before

November on, i followed WBA and EFFORT's advice on diet through PM's, although at first i didn't do it as hardcore, halfway through november i decided it was time to work hard. And I have seen amazing gains.
Two and a half months ago i looked like this---205 lbs

Been following the fatloss while gaining muscle, and its worked very well so far
Technically, i've only bulked 7-8 months...and the funny thing is, i expect a lot more out of it, but then i realize that there are guys who lift for years, and don't get much stronger than me, or bigger. I am very lucky to have had the advice of several senior board members (you know who you are) and without you guys i'd be a clueless. This is by no means an end for me, i will continue on till i am fully happy and then maintain. It is not just a quick fix, but a lifestyle change that i enjoy, although others think I'm crazy for eating as much protein as i do haha.
Keep working hard everyone, its really worth it
Pictures will be uploaded later today...ran out of time, i will bump when they are up

I'm also in the same boat as you, that is I'd be clueless if it weren't for the generosity of some members on this board (including yourself)!
It is a lifestyle change and I'm hooked too. lol
This right here is the main reason for your gainsI-tallionStallion said:
Great progress man....i'd love to see you log a squats and milk 6week cycle after you finish up with what your doing now. You'd make some sicks gains on it.

okay...i've added pics, check my last post ---hopefully they work...let me know.
Thanks Johnny its true, and its a great lifestyle change. And its cool we can all help eachother.
EFFORT...i appreciate the kind words. You are def an inspiration and I feel more people should take your advice, its simple, and it gets the job done. Now once I'm done lowering my bf% we can talk about this milk&squats thing, i imagine it will be in late june or july. And you can help me take it from there if you are cool with that
Quag- My bench sucks....haha but thanks.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
