"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.

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.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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

"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.

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
