"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.

I started working out 3 times a week, 'bout 4 months ago, with a veiw to gaining mass.

I have noticed Mass gains, however i have not noticed much of an increase in strength. Is this to be expected?

Secondly, my gym has no Barbells. And the heaviest dumbells are 16Kg's. If i want to train seriously, do i need to train with Barbells?

Cheers.
 

"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.

Cheers!

Free weights are best to use in every case possible because they target more muscle fibers. Dunno about gaining strength vs. gaining mass, but barbells and dumbells are best to use in any case possible.

Find another gym.

Different workouts have different results. If you want more strength, look at low volume powerlifting/strongman workouts.

Johny your mass gains will dry up as well soon.

I guess your reps are going high or adding more sets if you have limited weight. It's not that they are dumbells it's that you need more poundage otherwise you will be in muscular endurance terratory.

Get weights that alllow 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps.
