"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.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Ehhhhh yeah, fvck that lol. On the subject of horrible ways to squat, my buddy who plays college basketball was telling me about part of their workout the other day. Squats for 2.5 minutes with 100 lb (~45 kg), as many reps as possible...I think he said he got somewhere around 115 reps, and that he wanted to die it was so bad

"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.
^^Thanks man!

Fvck me! - those frontsquats 
^^Thanks guys! And yeah Krueg it really is crazy how much of a difference small increments make when you're near a maximal level.
Anyway, worked out today at a crossfit gym my buddy goes to. Rogue Fitness sure does make some nice equipment. They had 4 sets of gymnastic rings too, so I did my toes to bar and pullups on those. Oddly enough, the toes to bar were a lot easier and gave a lot better of a burn (if that makes sense), and the pullups were SO much harder, because you have to use a ton of stabilizer muscles to keep the form strict.
Heavy Day

Finished off with some good old Bent Over Dumbell Row
10 x 110 lbs
10 x 125 lbs
8 x 140 lbs
Looking back, I can't believe the volume I had (37 sets)! I don't know if that's good or bad, I mean I feel good and my form was solid throughout, and I didn't take a terribly long time, about an hour and a half, maybe an hour and 45 min...I wasn't really paying attention. Can't get anywhere if you don't push yourself I suppose.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Thanks dude

Good lifts. It's embarrassing that your lifts are double mine, yet you're 5 years younger than me.
Don't sweat it man, once a person hits maturity age doesn't matter...the playing field is even in that respect. So then other factors come into play such as experience and genetics, for example. You'll get there.[S]alvatore said:

"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.
