"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.

"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.

Definition is reducing body fat percentage.

IMO big arms as a function of arm exercises creates a disproportionate look that is not aesthetic. The best natural arm builders are chin ups and dips. You’ll get the mass and functionality to go with it. Big arms look cartoonish when they don’t match the legs and torso.

Are you training the brachialis directly? Cross body curls and hammer curls?

this depends on the length of your levers. If you are out of proportion I.e long Humerous and femurs you aren’t gonna be able to hit those limb muscles as well from compound exercises. People with long arms and legs and small bodies have to do way more isolation exercises to bring the longer muscles into proportion with the rest of the body. I’m one of them unfortunately.

That is 100% false. Limb length only effects the positioning of the major lifts. Using isolation to build proportional aesthetics is an oxymoron. Compound lifts are functional movements, thus they create aesthetically natural physiques.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

when you have an extra long muscle belly on your tricep due to having a long humerus bone, and have a normal length muscle belly on your pec, when you do a compound exercise such as a dip,the longer bellies muscles on the arms, even though they may gain the same poundage in muscle recruitment, will not gain the same proportional size as the pec and shoulders because the longer muscle bellies have much more surface area to cover. It’s well documented and I’m proof of it. My shoulders and chest go big, triceps just gain a little definition. The bigger the surface area of the muscle, the harder it is to keep in proportion with the smaller muscles IF you are a lanky person
