"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.

50 curl ups knees in the air (i think these are called jackknives?)
25 leg lifts
25 push ups, keep abs tight
25 side raises each side
25 seconds of bicycle(the ab workout not the actual biking)

1 minute rest between each set.
 

"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.

I'm posting this again just to show you the "300 movie training fad":


Don't forget the DaVinci code workout:

http://www.amazon.com/Da-Vinci-Fitness-Code/dp/0935783121

Chock full of fibbonacci sequences to unlock the "Magic" of the Golden Ratio.


And X-Reps: http://www.x-rep.com/

They don't say what X means.. but it sure sound XTreeME!



And then of course. There is the Christian Nutrition System.

Supernatural weight loss thanks to Jesus himself: http://www.supernaturalweightloss.com/

God's Power To Lose Weight Is Being Released Right Now! Don't Miss This Chance To Be Free Of Those Extra Pounds!

Quickly. Follow these workouts before they become a fad an fade into obscurity!
 

"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.

That looks like you're overworking your abs there. Abs are no different to other muscle groups and benefit from good form and rest.

Also, you shouldn't be doing any more than 10-15 reps per set. You need to make every rep count. Take each rep slowly, flex hard as you complete the rep and hold it for a second or two. Or if they're too easy, try holding a dumbell while crunching.

This site might give you some ideas and help your form...

I agree with Jariel here. And as he was suggestion, you do need to be holding dumbbells or weight plates as well.

Screw all that. You need to train your abs with progressive resistance as you do every other muscle group. That workout will cap out eventually, since your abs won't need to keep getting any bigger because they will adapt to the workload. Also, that routine looks more of an endurance workout than actual strength training mate.

There's nothing wrong with 3x10 of dumbbell situps. They'll get your abs bigger than eyesore above.

Squats, Deads, Pullups, and maybe some weighted ab work.


There. Abs.
 

"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.

To a degree... they stabilise your body.

Like with anything though, a little bit of direct work (weighted cable crunches are awesome) will do you good. Low reps, heavy weight as you would anything else.

i used to do 30 reps of crunches on a decilne bench with a 25 pound plate, but that got very very strenuous on my legs (legs keep me from sliding down the bench.

and yeah, my abs were horribly sore once and i tried to do a pull up and my stomach almost died

Hm yeah, I do feel my abs a bit when I do pullups, as you need to keep the body relatively stiff, and coming to think of it, there's a similar effect when I do dips.

Yeah, try more weight and sets of 6-10.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

to add to this, it is VERY important to keep your lower back on the ground, it will work your abs (especially your lower abs) way more and your back will thank you in the future.

its hard at first, but you just gotta force it down.
