"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.

Mine are:

Push Press (DB, KB or BB)
Power Clean (for all you pump junkies out there, take 40 kilos and clean it 100 times in 10 minutes or less. You don't KNOW pump until you do this. A buddy of mine with a max clean and jerk of 90 kilos tore his bicep muscle workin' up to 100 reps too quickly)
Snatch
Dips
Chins
KB/DB 1-handed Bentover Rows
KB Snatch

I think bent presses will be on this list shortly... I just started doing them today.
 

"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.

Oohgodyeah. But, since standing barbell curls murder my arms oh-so-well, I'll have to say that bench pressing is #2.
 

"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.

True - That's why I hate most leg N back exercise

I can't stand dips. Too easy - N with added weight ... it's too much trouble.

<--- too lazy

lol
