"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.

For those of you who want an alternative (or additional) exercise to add to your artillery for ultimate mass gain, I reccomend a Trap Bar.

Basically, it's a trapezoid shaped barbell where you stand inside and lift by using side handles. It is just as effective as squats and deadlifts in terms of mass gain because it utilizes as many muscle groups. I have replaced deadlifts with trap bar lifts for two main reasons:

1. The trap bar takes a lot of stress off your lower back and allows you to perform the exercise in a more natural way. Thus if deadlifts ever cause you back pain, consider trap bar deadlifts as a definite alternative.

2. Your shins will not get ripped up or bruised by having the bar slide over them.

Thought I'd let you guys know.
 

"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.

Yes , trap bars are usually a better choice for deadlift. Since it centers the weight around your body rather than putting all the weight on one side of your body.

Nice bit of kit. Tad expensive though for the average DJ (uk anyway).

I always take the opportunity to plug hip belt squats as a mass builder for those who truely have back troubles with squats and deads.
