"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.

"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.

First off, start by doing some behind the back curls, use heavy weight MAKE SURE U WARM UP then do some reverse curls with a lighter weight, aim for 20 reps, then do some normal wrist curls, aim for 20 also. Do 4 sets of each with 30 seconds rest in between. Your arms will be fried and pumped in no time. Heavy deadlifts are also key in forarm development, DONT USE STRAPS. You can also do plate pinches ( put 2 weight plates together and pinch as long as you can) and farmers walks ( grab some heavy dumbells, maybe 100 in each hand to start out with and try and walk as far as you can) You will be on your way to huge forearms in no time.

I wouldn't focus on forearms. As you start to lift heavier they will grow accordingly,they help to keep the weights stable=mild workout everytime you touch a weight.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Your forearms will grow with your deadlifts etc, but if they're lagging and you develop a bit of a 'reverse popeye' look (big arms, small forearms), a forearm exercise might help em catch up.

Try a few sets of hammer curls or reverse ez-bar curls. Reverse ez-bar curls are just curls done with your palms facing away from you.

Or you can do heavy wrist curls.
