"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.

"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.

Circuit Day
made some unexpected, but welcomed gains here
each round was:
10 Dips (with a 50 lb dumbbell chained to me...gains)
6 Front Squats (205 lbs...gains)
10 Pullups (alternate between supinated and pronated each set)
For 5 rounds
then at the end I did ab rollouts, 2 sets of 12.
Since I wasn't feeling the greatest today, I decided to simplify my usual circuit down to the most effective exercises, and hit em fvckin hard. Something just came over me as I was contemplating a rest day...something like, 'what am I, some kind of phaggot vagina with no balls? I don't need a fvckin rest day.' And boy did I ever hit it hard, I think my front squats are starting to get more solid, which means weight should be going up regularly in the coming weeks. It's also nice that they help out with back squats too.
"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.
Bench Press
10 x 135 lbs
5 x 225 lbs
5 x 245 lbs
2 x 265 lbs
1 x 275 lbs
1 x 285 lbs (PR!)
0 x 290 lbs (I was gassed at this point but had to attempt it anyway lol)
6 x 225 lbs
Deadlifts(no shoes)
warmup sets:
10 x 135 lbs
5 x 225 lbs
working sets:
5 x 295 lbs
5 x 315 lbs
4 x 335 lbs
1 x 355 lbs
1 x 365 lbs
0 x 375 lbs (pissed I didn't get this, reaaallly pissed)
3 x 315 lbs
3 x 315 lbs
3 x 315 lbs
3 x 315 lbs
1 x 315 lbs
Dips
4 sets of 8 with a 50 lb dumbbell chained to me
Pullups
all sets done with same 50 lb dumbbell, and an H indicates position was held as long as possible on the last rep
5,5,4H,5H,5H,2H,3H
I suppose I could have gotten 375 up, but I did NOT want to risk bad form. My back started to round a bit, and I felt I was rapidly falling out of form, so I dropped the bar and ended the rep....only made it part way up my shins. Deadlifts are NOT a lift where you wanna sacrifice form for more weight. As if any lift is though lol

P.s. im still 1lb more
I'm gonna have to add dumbbells to dips too I think
Thanks man. And yes adding weight to dips and pullups is fvcking awesome, can't believe I just now started doing it. I can almost literally feel my triceps exploding and getting fvcking massive, it's already making a difference. Even if you don't have access to a weightbelt with a metal loop for a chain, or a chain, you can still hold the dumbbell between your legs.Purefilth said:Good work on the bench. If I get a spotter tomorrow I'm gonna go for another heavy one.
P.s. im still 1lb more
HEY GUESS WHAT - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFZrzg62Zj0

You'll be surprised how fast your weights on weighted dips will go up! My personal best was a triple w/ 145 lbs around my waist, going well below 90 degrees. I did this at around 180 lbs bodyweight.
I'd almost recommend against going to heavy if you really wanna focus on the triceps. When you get to 100 lbs or more its gonna be all available muscles to get you back up! Triceps are small muscles compared to your back/delts, etc... so they may not get as much recruitment... but at that point you probably don't care!
Thanks dude. Really interesting about the dips/deadlifts. The only good belt at my gym (1 peice of thick leather) works just fine for adding wieght, but as I'm getting a smaller waistline, it provides less support, so I think I'm gonna just go out and buy my own. Yeah I'm not really worried about necessarily making my triceps huge, I just noticed that adding weight really worked em more. I just wanna do more weight. And hooooly sh1t a triple with 145? Fvck dude lolFuglydude said:
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Front Squat
10 x 135 lbs
8 x 185 lbs
5 x 205 lbs
3 x 225 lbs
Back Squat (loooooooow)
6 x 225 lbs
5 x 275 lbs
5 x 295 lbs
4 x 315 lbs
3 x 315 lbs
3 x 315 lbs
3 x 315 lbs
4 x 225 lbs
4 x 225 lbs
5 x 225 lbs
4 x 225 lbs
Yes, I realize that is a fvckload of sets. They weren't super heavy, but the reason there were so many with so few reps, is because I'm really fvcking determined to get my ass the fvck down. The 315 sets were parallel, but they got really tiring so I switched to 225 to get lower.
Dumbbell Bench Press
10 x 90 lbs
7 x 100 lbs
9 x 90 lbs
T-Bar Row
15 x 135 lbs
12 x 180 lbs
10 x 225 lbs
8 x 180 lbs
(my lats were burned the fvck out from these)
Push Press(fvcking weak I know)
5 x 115 lbs
5 x 135 lbs
5 x 135 lbs
I only have done military press on a smith machine, and it's fvcking up my shoulder, so I'm gonna start delving into the variations of OH Press with a barbell. Ah this is really an ego checker, because I'm weak as sh1t on OH Press due to never doing it much.
So to end I really wanted to burn myself out, and this is what I did:
Dips/Pullups Supersets
5 dips, 5 pullups, with 60 lb dumbbell chained to me
10 dips, 10 pullups, bodyweight
5 dips, 5 pullups, 60 pounder
10 dips, 10 pullups, bodyweight
10 pullups bodyweight, 2 more sets of 5 dips with a 60 pounder
Then I did a little ab circuit:
10 rollouts
10 russian twists with 10 lb medecine ball
10 leg raises with 10 lb medicine ball
3 rounds of this
And now I'm done and burned the fvck out, but I'm not necessarily tired, which is weird.
10 Tree Pullups
10 Pushups
30 sec plank
100 Jumps on the jump rope
5 rounds
Then my brother and I made a mini circuit out of each of those exercises at a super fast pace.
I did 5 pullups, he did 5, and so on, for 5 sets as fast as possible. Then we did pushups in that format, then planks, then jumps. All in all it was a good circuit.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
