"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.

"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.

What, right NOW?! Implants.

Otherwise, flat or incline/decline db press, incline/decline barbell press, boatloads of food, and patience. Give it a month to see some progress, give it six months to be filling your t-shirts out considerably more than before, give it a year to perhaps get another couple of inches of thickness there, 3-5 years of constant progress and food intake to get MASSIVE pecs.

a couple of years ago, i had average pecs and i started doing lots of pushups (100 a day or so every day) and after a couple of weeks, everyone in the restroom during physical education asked me how i pumped my pecs that much. anyway, i was 16, at that age you need to be a bit more ripped than average and you are considered muscular:)

anyway, with bench presses, you should start noticing considerable results after a couple of weeks, if you work hard and eat enough. after a couple of months, you'll be really content about yourself, but in order to get massive pecs you have to work out regularly for at least 9-12 months.

Depends what you mean by massive. What I call massive takes a good 4-5 years of training to achieve.

For your beach boy pecs maybe a year's all you need.
 

"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 have had problems with my pecs alot and the way which works best for me is incline db presses, alot of them. I can recommend dips leaning forward too. Don't abuse the weights, keep good form and they will start to grow. Mine are finally growing now. I'm so happy.

Along with the presses it's vital to do squats and deadlifts. It will pump those suckers full with GH.

ye, incline/flat bench + db presses

i used to bench the same amount every week and couldn't break through, until i got a spot who'd help me on the last 3 reps til i absolutely couldn't press anymore. a lot of guides say it's wrong, but i gained about 10kg on my bench that i otherwise wouldn't have gained
 

"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.

For me bench pressing dumbells works the best. Having to keep them straight works your arms better, plus i can bring them down farther then i can a bar.


If your just starting off pushups is a good place to start.

pushups are great. Heres how to take it to the next level:

1. get 2 of those red bouncy rubber balls and do pushups with your hands on top of those. It seems to isolate your pecs a lot better.

Push ups? You got to be kidding.

Heavy compound movements, like bench and dumbell presses. Pullovers and Dips also good. Heavy weights, 6-8 reps. Aim for 12-14 working sets, once a week.

Up your protein intake.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Funny thing is I don't feel my PECS getting flexed when I do incline movement. That seems to work more of the anterior delt then the pecs, but only slightly works the pecs when the bar is down fully.

As far as I've discovered, DIPS are the best exercise for the pecs.
