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?
"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.
To get ripped legs..?
- Thread starter LOLPLZ
- Start date
"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.

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?

You'll look retarded if you grow your upper body but not your lower body. Do barbell squats.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.LOLPLZ said:
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.mrRuckus said:
"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.

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?

It's fun. Or just do sets of 15 reps with a 10 second hold on each negative. If that doesn't burn like ****, nothing will.
