Just wondering as ive been using that bad boy quite a lot lately. Anyone know?
"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.
What muscles does the Rower work?

"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.

Step 1 Use rower flat out for 3 mins.
step 2 What's stiff the next day?
Apart from that!

heh."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.

I use the row alot too. Will this help me in my chin ups you think? I've been slackin from the gym recently and right now i cant lift my body weight (in wide grip pull-ups). Think the row will help with this movement?
Rowing helps your back generally. But if you're doing high rep rowing on a machine, you won't get much noticeable improvement in your upper back strength.
Go as hard as possible for short intervals. That might work. If you're sore, that's a good sign. Do (free or cable) rows if you want to improve your chin ups without actually doing chin-ups.
BTW, rowing on a rowing machine is fanstastic cardio (with respect to calories expended and the perceived effort).
