Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.
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

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.

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.

And dont worry on the missed max after the volume set down beforehand
"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 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.
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:

"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.
