"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.

I'm a skinny fellow and atm right now i'm working on my whole body doing the usual heavy weights on the upper body in order to get bigger however, my legs in which i dont want big since my frame will look funky that is if my legs got bigger. Is it a good idea to do squats, duckwalks, bearwalks, frogjumps in substitute for heavy weights?
 

"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.

Why would you look funny if your legs got bigger? Your legs, thighs and back are the power house of muscle in your body. Compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, rows will make your whole body bigger. You can do bicep curls until the cows come home, but you're not going to get "BIG" until you start using your whole body to lift the weights. Isolation exercises have their place. But it's not to gain over all strength and size. Again. Why would your frame look funny with bigger legs?

There you go...don't fall into that trap thinking your legs are OK. They will be quickly outsized if you don't work them hard.

Squats are THE best way to develop strong, ripped legs.
Live and die on the squat rack. :up:
 

"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.

HAHAHA Good! The more pain the better. Make sure to eat lots of protein. That will help cut down on recovery time. If your goal is to get big, than cut out all your isolation exercises and stick to those big compound exercises.

As everyone else said, pump your legs, and your back, and you'll be huge everywhere in no time. All you gotta do is some squats, deads, pullups and some dips and eat the complete opposite of a somalian and you can put some major size on.

Good point MrRuckus. You should probably eat a decent amount of protein and fat before you die to help prevent muscle catabolism. :up:

Somebody once told me (Warboss I think) that pain isn't always good. Being sore multiple days after can mean malnutrition. The day after? It's possible, 2, 3days? Maybe, any longer than that and you're either overtraining or not eating the right stuff...

LMAO at MrRuckus!!!

Anyways, agreed- squats are the absolute gold standard of...everything. I've been doing 3 weeks of squats and my abs have grown more than doing crunches, leg raises etc. for a year. Absolutely amazing.

But anyways, I gotta question: Whats the best way to make those calves grow? And how many reps? Some people say "calves are different" and I'm tempted to agree- I find that I need more reps to tire those mothersf*ckers out! Any suggestions?
