I am trying to get even bigger now, I have already put on 20 lbs, but I am gonna start really focusing on the compound lifts. I already do squats and bench regularly, and I have recently added deadlifts. What else is good for getting big?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What are the best compound exercises to get big?

"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.
"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.

Yeah a lot of people don't know this. A lot of powerlifters will use goodmornings as max effort lifts, really hits your lower back and posterior chain in addition to core.

They're not. The big 3 are squats, deadlifts, bench. The big 5 are squat, deadlifts, bench, overhead press, and power cleans. A lot of people prefer rows to power cleans.MrS said:I knew they were back/posterior chain, but I didn't think they were up there with the rest!
Between these and a proper diet you can get pretty big:
squat
deadlift
overhead press
bench press
rows or power cleans
dips
chins
This hits absolutely everything except calves, but they'll grow just by you adding on bodyweight.
