"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

This is what I do 3 times a week, each exercise 3 times, for 4, 6 and 8 reps:

Day 1:

Squats
Press 45º
Front abs
Sitting calves
Incline twisting sit up
Standing calves

Day 2:

Dead lift
Chins
Row
Rows to the chin (I don’t know how it’s called in English)
Standing biceps with a bar
Lateral dumbbell rise (for the side shoulders)
Sitting dumbbell hammer curls
Back shoulders (for the back shoulders)

Day 3:

Bench press
Inclined bench press
Cross over (with the cable, to work pectorals)
Sitting military press
Laying triceps extension
Machine triceps extension
Front dumbbell rise (for the front shoulders)

I’m also running 3 times a week for around 15 minutes as fast as I can.

My objective now is to lose some weight, I’m doing some diet.
But I keep getting bigger and stronger. Maybe I need to drop the calories lower. It may also have to do with the fact that I’m restarting training after having stopped for 2 full years (before that I trained for 3 full years) and that’s why I can lose weight and gain muscle and strength at the same time.

What do you guys think? Would you change something?
 

"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.

Bin the lateral raises, you don't need them.

Tricep extensions!? Whatever happened to reverse grip bench?

Rows, chins AND deadlifts in the same day?

Good grief. Where's the hamstring exercise?

Try this:

Day 1 - some sort of bicep curl, some sort of forearm exercise, lat pulldown/rack chins and deadlifts

Day 2 - some sort of flat chest press, some sort of incline/decline chest press, reverse grip/close grip bench and military press/db press.

Day 3 - sumo press, calf raise of some kind, squats, ab work.

Sets reps are up to you.
