“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.

I heard that sixpacks don't appear unless you go below 10%. At the same time I read in many places that 15% bf is the ideal for men?

I am on a diet shooting for 8% and I got a long way to get there, but just wondering
if i should go that much
thanks
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

you will see abs at 10%, and 12% if you flex them hard.

it also depends on what method of body fat measuring you do to determine the percentage, so a water measures 7% would be calipers 10%.

personally i wouldnt go for 8% it would be harder to maintain then 10% and unless you have a decent amount of mass to reveal youll just look like a shredded twig.

I'm 6-3 200lbs and 15% bf (approx. via military fit site posted in another thread and Tanita scale). A lot of people tell me I look too skinny! At 12% (around 190lbs), most people said I looked far too skinny. Just an FYI.

That's a good point, and I have a friend who has almost the same stats as you and looks a bit skinny (though his BF is closer to 12% at 200lbs). I think it all depends on your own genetics and how your fat is distributed.

I look skinny with 18% (what I used to be) and 12% (now) because my arms, chest, and legs are very very lean. You can't pinch anything there with a caliper - just skin. All my fat goes to my waist.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I didn't want to start a new thread, but want to ask if it's possible to drop bodyfat while bulking?

I've been bulking for the last month with some significant results, but I would like to drop some body fat in order to get a more ripped and defined look.

If I substitute more meals with whey suppliment, will this help?

Making the most of MY life
Dirt, you cannot gain muscle and lose fat at the same time UNLESS your a total BBing noobie. Now, you should incorporate some cardio into your lifting sessions, and KEEP a STRICT DIET. So on one day do some HIIT, and then the next weights. That way you will lose fat and remain muscly. Or you can totally CUT and you will lose a little bit of muscle in the process. Your choice:p
I suggest you go to www.bodybuilding.com then go to the forums, this will be your holy grail to bodybuilding.
Hope i helped

Thanks Jiza, that has been helpful. I have been browsing the site and especially the sections on defined abs etc and found some very useful info.
