"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.

I have been doing weights like four months and i havent really done any sort of routine and yes i have realized that i majorly ****ed up in that haha. So I have limited amounts of equipment i was wondering if any one could map me out a routine that i could try :). The equipment i have avaliable is..An olympic bench bar 305 pounds of olympic weights a bench press a lat bar and one dumbell.

Side Note-when i do the bench press my right side usually comes off to be more so worked than my left side..Help

please and thanks :)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Regarding.. the bench press being stronger on one side... is this because you are using only ONE dumbell... hahha...

On a serious note...i need a little more info..

Lat Bar? you mean a cable pull down with a lat bar? or a bar to do chins on?

How heavy is the dumbell? can you take-off and add weight to it?

How many times a week are you able to train?


Cheers

does your bench move so you can do incline or is it just a flat bench
 

"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.
