"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"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.

OK, Now onto my questions. You said Your Arms grew from ROWS and CHINUPS. When you say rows, do you mean any rows? Like will DumbBell Bent-Over Row work?
ALso, do you have any tips for chinups? Ive always wanted to do them but never addded/kept them in a routine cuz i SUCK at them. Ill go like 4 weeks in a row and cant get any higher on reps. Like ill do 3 reps only for a set (no weight) and then 4 weeks later im still doing 3 reps. What gives :/ ??
Last question related to that, is CloseGrip Chinups Just for Biceps? Or is it back? The routine im about to start has biceps and back on different days.

"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.

?? did you make a typo?
Anyways, so how many sets do I do ? I mean shouldnt I eventually move up in reps?

No, I mean do 5 sets of 3 reps with your 5 rep max. And yeah of course you move up in reps. That's what doing all the sets is for: to build the volume, which overloads the muscles and plants the seed of growth.
Thanks dude.. means a lot =)
Of course this won't work for everyone... but it might be of some help for some people you know.
Rows are the most important part IMO, I don't think there are so much differece beteween bb rows and db rows. Of course I do more barbell at the moment but I've done some db too. Try it out and mix them around.
As Metal Fortress says, do more sets on the chin-ups. If you can make three, try to do like three sets and make three reps in each. If you want you can have someone assist you on the way up if it is hard.
I had a friend who could hardly do one dip. I forced him to do three reps the first time split out over three sets, the week after he could do 2-3 reps per set, week after this he got 6 reps for the first time.. and now he plays around with 8 reps +5 kg. Maybe not the cutest form on all reps in the beginning, but he got them.
Close grip chin-ups are mainly for the biceps... I make sure to do them with crappy form/only pulling with my arms so my lats will be involved as little as possible. Pull-ups is a choice for the back days when you can do them. =)
