"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

This is why I love my gym....Had a former power lifting coach catch me doing the 275X4...He said my butt needed to get a lot lower so I dropped back down to 225 for 6 real focusing on getting my ass down and feeling my hams/glutes fire properly.
He also taught me a rubber band exercise to use for my lagging left leg (noticeably weaker and smaller then my right side). They felt real good and I got a nice squeeze and they hit the hams hard.

"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.

Hey whats up, I've been following your posts for awhile now and I gotta admit, I'm a fan. You do things that a few people on this forum fail to understand.
You think for yourself and your not afraid to challenge the status quo.
Its people like you who learn the fastest and over time will have the most to benefit and contribute. keep it up.

Thanks really appreciate it. People fail to realize you can't stick people on a cookie cutter this or that. You just have to get in the gym and find what works best for you and speak with other experienced lifters who are also training seriously.Drum&Bass said:

"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.

Thanks brother!ATP said:Meh, the vid doesn't work for me. My buddy listens to them though and he says they are good.
Nice workout m8, a lot of volume, I bet your chest/tris was pretty dead after that one.
Yeah prob cause you're in the uk/Europe or something lol.
Yeah chest/tris got hit pretty good. Doing legs tomorrow. going to give the safety squat bar a go tomorrow. Thinking about doing front squats with it or something.
Sweet, never tried one of those. Looks like you might be choking yourself if you do it with a front squat though considering the safety squat addon for the neck. But who knows, it might be better than a normal bar... it feels like I'm chokign myself with it anyway ^^
Yeah, I'm from Europe so might be cause of that. The vid with Yates was awesome though, he is one of the few bodybuilders I really respect. I mean you can tell he knows his **** when he is talking and he doesn't lift with his ego either. I don't know if you've seen "blood and guts", his training vid but after watching it I saw him in an entirly different way.

Usually do my extreme stretches for lat and shoulders. Yet was short on time (had to get flowers for a "friend")
Could use some feedback from some of the more experienced guys. Serious bodybuilders only. My back width/thickness seems to be coming along decently. So if there's anywhere I can improve please let me know.
Have taken pics, back is coming along real nice...arms severely lacking. Prob due more to diet. Need 30-40 more lbs until I actually feel like something decent. Legs are meh. k.

SEATED ROWS

Usually do my extreme stretches for lat and shoulders. Yet was short on time (had to get flowers for a "friend")
Could use some feedback from some of the more experienced guys. Serious bodybuilders only. My back width/thickness seems to be coming along decently. So if there's anywhere I can improve please let me know.
Have taken pics, back is coming along real nice...arms severely lacking. Prob due more to diet. Need 30-40 more lbs until I actually feel like something decent. Legs are meh. k.
Are you doing this routine with the bodybuilder guys you talk about or is this something you do on your own? If the bodybuilders are your training partners then keep on with it and stick with them. If its just you solo I would switch it over to a standard 2day DC split (Once in that frame work specific cool "tricks" can be pulled out for lat width,back-thickness etc) . What does your diet look like?

Diet is pretty simple I shoot for 1.5-2 grams X BW in protein. Major staples for me are beef (shoot for a lb a day or more), whey protein shakes (take in at least 100-125 around workouts) whole eggs/eggwhites(6-12 a day), sometimes chicken (hate that **** though, luv mah beef!) Turkey Bacon.EFFORT said:
Carbs:Oatmeal, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, Waxy Maize, fruit (bananas/oranges/Apples), White rice, Black beans
Fats:Olive oil, natty PB, avocado.
Pretty much it
Stuff flip flops but a typical day is like this
MEAL 1 6-8 EGGS, 4-6 strips Turkey Bacon, 1 cup & 1/2 OATMEAL + BANANA
SNACK 2 TBSP NATTY PB + PIECE OF FRUIT (orange or an apple)
MEAL 2 50-75 GRAMS WHEY PROTEIN + 2TBSP OLIVE OIL+1CUP OF OATS
MEAL 3 8-10 OZ GROUND BEEF/STEAK+RICE OR POTATOES
MEAL 4 PRE-WORKOUT SHAKE 50 GRAMS WHEY+80 GRAMS WAXY MAIZE
PERI-WORKOUT SHAKE
24 GRAMS WHEY PROTEIN+40 GRAMS WAXY MAIZE
POST-WORKOUT
80 GRAMS WAXY MAIZE +50 GRAMS WHEY PROTEIN
MEAL 5 Sometimes I'll hit up burger king and get say 4-5 whopper jrs or taco bell and get 3-4 chicken burritos. Or 8 oz chicken+2 cups white rice or 8-10 oz steak + 2-3 potatoes.
Before bed I like a Protein+good fat+veggie meal. Some thing like ground beef+sauteed veggies+2 tbsp natty PB or 2 tbsp olive oil. Yet sometimes I work out late so I just have protein and carbs then off to bed!
Every day I just try to eat as much as I can..I hate going more then 4 hours with out food and usually shoot for every 2-3.
Oh and throughout the day I'll snack on raw almonds here or there.....shoot to drink at least a gallon+ of water daily. Drink green tea every morning pretty much.
On the DC thing...I just don't feel I'm at the size/strength and experience level to do it any justice just yet. Maybe when I hit 200+ I'll jump back on it.
As of right now I don't have any real partners persay, I just train around a lot of bodybuilders (some whom compete) and they help me with technique or questions I have regarding nutrition/exercises..

Was funny recommended them to a guy who was 260 lbs @ 5'11 relatively lean doing (scott extensions ) these after I did them. Said he has never felt his tris get hit so good. They're real great for those with any elbow issues. Hit the long head (to get that massive look) like no other. These and dead floor skull crushers are staples for me.
Time to go eats lots of dead animals and rice!

"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.
