"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.

"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.

^^Well what do you think the purpose is of the thread you just posted in?? lol





Just blasted out another circuit

Circuit Day
-10 front squats (135 lbs)
-10 strict OH presses (100 lbs)
-10 pullups
-10 ab rollouts
for 5 rounds

In the 4th and 5th rounds I switched the OH presses for dips because I currently suck ass at OH pressing, because I don't do it as much as I should, therefore it's hard as fvck and I hit failure too quickly and start to use sh1tty form

Otherwise it was pretty good...total time = 23 minutes

"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.

come on man! you got this 440 deadlift.


go for 465 first - the 3 to 5 seconds max effort on something harder really opens up the blood vessels - preps for the lift, that's what I did when I went for 210 - I tried 220 first :)

try it

and don't exhaust on volume. do 2-3 sets of 3 building up the weight and then get in there with a big heavy lift :D

Thanks dude I'll try that next time. I'm just always so used to adding weight incrementally but I'll try less volume and a heavier max effort beforehand
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yeah, get the max before you drain your strength. I HAVE no doubt that you will at least match my max lift if you do buddy.

Thanks for the encouragement^


Anyway, fairly solid Circuit Day

each round:
-10 front squats (185 lbs)...this killed
-10 pullups
-10 dips
x4
This part took 15 min,

Then my brother and I alternated between rollouts and jump rope,
when 1 person is doing rollouts the other jumps rope until the 1st person is done with 10 rollouts, we switch and so on..only did this for 3 sets and we were pretty dead

I've been caffeine only for about 6 weeks. Not even creatine at the moment :-(

Makes me super happy to have pulled 205 kg raw with no pre workout or creatine though. Just chalk and willpower!

...and a cycle of Dbol under your belt haha

Really though the Dbol just accelerated the process, not saying you couldn't without it, and you still gotta put in work, which you did.

It is weird though that whenever I forget to get more creatine or even protein, and go without for awhile, it doesn't make me lose anything like a lot of people believe it will. I only really have a protein shake if I feel completely destroyed beyond belief after a hard lift.

Willpower ftw!

Absolutely the Dbol - raised strength there by about 20%. Its been about 6 weeks, so that's all out of my system now.

I'm quite surprised I kept the strength and the size to be honest - people said I would piss it all away as water weight as soon as I came off cos I wasn't running test too. Bullshiit you don't lose your gains. I wonder if I would've gained more if I had kept on to the full 6 weeks instead of just the 4.

one way to find out :D

I think you keep size, most of the strength and everything as long as you keep up the training and eating. if you come off cycle and just get lazy and start 'miring - of course you're gonna lose it all.
 

"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.
