"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.
T-Rows vs Bent over BB Rows

"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.
Different excercise hit the back differently. So switch it up with pull-ups, t-bar rows, the one arm rows, back pushups, etc. The more you change up with the dif types i just told you, the more efficient your workouts will be(and you will actually get bigger). Good luck with it!

"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.
Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Pendlay or Bent Rows (or power cleans)
**2x8 Chin-ups (recommended mainly if doing the cleans)
I didn't realize cleans were the preferred exercise, I was just going by what the routine said.
I guess I'll need to start doing cleans then.

I personally don't do power cleans even though I tried to because i've had an issue with my right biceps near my elbow for years. Cleans really makes it ache. Maybe it's a form issue of bending my elbow too soon, but the issue was around before i even tried them, but very few things aggravates it and cleans and throwing a baseball too many times are two of them.
If you can, learn to do power cleans and add some chins.
Actually, i do power clean my sets of the press often.
I don't really see a big deal in rotating out any of the different type of rows movements. Do whatever row you want until it stalls and then change to another one. I did bb rows, then chest supported rows for 2 months, and am now doing db rows. But really, if you're gonna row stick with bb rows. It shouldn't really get stuck early in your career. I 'pendlay' row over 200 for 5x5 and i never did other rows until recently.
Go out of your way to get chins up too. They'll probably help more than rows will. I wish i'd paid more attention to them a few years ago.
DON'T **** WITH THIS ROUTINE! Every jackass thinks he's smarter than Rippetoe. You're not. Do his thing until you've made it through the program, and then consider switching to an "intermediate program."
...or prove that you think you know better than him, and make the substitution. the choice, of course, is yours. as mr. ruckus points out, LOTS of people think they're smarter than mr. rippetoe.
"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.
back to the op. crossfit.com has good videos which shows you how to learn cleans.
the opposite of these statements is true...Flyer said:cleans/powercleans are harder to learn/do than rows in general.. I havnt been to bb.com but it sounds like it's for bodybuilders.
