“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

What if I can't do pullups?

Doesn't bodyweight play a factor in determining how many situps a guy can do? I mean, if he's 270 lbs. and out-of-shape, I doubt he could do 5 pullups in a set.

But I do agree that one can increase the number of pulls if he does them frequently. This works for me, and I consider myself in great shape, yet I'm lucky to do more than 15 pullups in one set. I currently weigh 217 lbs.; when I weighed 240, I could do 7-8 pullups, and I was in shape at 240 lbs.

Starting pulls with palms-facing-you is good advice, by the way.

Supersetting pulls with lat pulldowns is an excellent way to increase strength. I don't use the lat pulldown anytime else, though.
Yes bodyweight plays a factor. Functional bodyweight is enforced for bodyweight exercises. That's why gymnasts are usually small. Strength/weight ratio needs to be high, bodyfat low.

If you can do more than 15 pull-ups in one set, you should try to do them weighted, it's will be a greater challenge.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I do wide grip pulls to get my lats. I don't like "chins" because they are too easy and I would rather do curls then chins. So far Im halfway dead at 13. Im gonna try the 5x5 thing and see how my results are.
