"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Conditioning is king, power lifting is second.

I'd say I'm a combination of most of those... I love olympic lifting, powerlifting is fun too.

I have a very tough time gaining weight while still staying lean, but I'd say I'm still into bodybuilding.

Conditioning is something I need to work on. ... I hate cardio!
 

"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.

Bodybuilding.

The only powerlift I do is squatting.
Bodybuilding makes it sound like I spend my time doing curls and kickbacks, but in the main it's still compounds, presses, DB rows, etc.

Conditioning & powerlifts. Gotta do both for MMA amateurs, as I get closer to the fights, weightlifting is more endurance focused.

Power lifting all the way. Well, I throw in a little bit of bodybuilding exercises but that's to supplement and power the big 3's.

I'd rather be the scrawny guy lifting massive weights than the scrawny guy super setting curls and kickbacks. ;)
