"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.

What kind of rountine should I do to train these body area? I want to be flexible like one of those cha cha, hula, or shaking-that-a$$ dance. Do I have to lift waits on those parts?
 

"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.

when your too flexible u'll lose strength vice versa so find the right balance, i am no expert don;t take my word for it. just my common sense kicked in.

Best way to be Flexible without joining up to do those dances yourself is to do Muay THai kick boxing, if you do it right u should look pretty normal and reasonable flexiable enough and strong enough for lots of difference sex positions if thats what you want to really ask but too shy to ask it :D

also good for fitness and cutting (bodybuilding) and self defence so great all in one sport or exercise or activity what ever you want to call it.

hope my advice help, gonna get back into muay thai soon. :)

If all you want is flexibility, then stretch every day. If you want strength then start lifting weights, and focus on deadlifts and squats.

Stretching will not weaken your muscles. Quite the opposite in fact, it will keep them more supple and help prevent injury.

Stretching before lifting weights will weaken your muscles and you wont be able to lift as much weight. Stretch after you lift.
 

"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.

Stretching after weights helps break down the muscle even more and aids in recovery, as well as (in my experience anyway) helping hugely with decreasing DOMS.

EXCUSE ME?! Being flexibe and being strong dont go together? Manuva are you out of your freaking mind!?

Ever been to the gym? Probably not. Yes stretching improves flexibility, but so does strength training. Dont write random bull**** on the threads just because it makes "sense". Shows what you know.

As for the poster's question. The exercise you are looking for is deadlifts. Deadlifts work the hips, lower back, upper back, erectors, hams, calves (a little), quads, etc. Its almost a full body exercise. And yes it improves flexibility alot. It also helps if you do stretching AFTER the workout. Listen to Warboss he knows his ****.
