"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I was thinking of purchasing 2 dumbbells and they each weigh 30lbs. I am 6'1" and I weigh 215lbs
 

“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.

The best dumbells are ones that you can lift properly,with good form,while still being a bit of a test. As you progress,likely will be to light

Do I need to increase the weight over time or can i have big muscles with just staying with the same weight?

If you are new to the bodybuilding gig,ul make newbie gains fairly quickly,assuming you are doing structured exercises and eating well.Over time,ul need to lift heavier to get better,further results.However,thats not the only way,you can go slower,with lighter weights and super strict form...but in most cases if you want progress ul have to up the weights a touch,whilst not cheating.I do reccomend hitting the weights,there are no downsides and the discipline needed also is good for morale!

You can't just get one pair. That would be pointless. You would be much better off buying a set of heavy, well made resistance bands...

Lightweight, portable and highly effective

Search for these:

-Rogue Squat rack (The compact one is only $400)
-300 lb Fitness Gear weight set from Dvcks Sporting Goods ($300)

Best starter set.
I'd buy a set of high quality resistance bands instead of heavy equipment...far greater bang for your buck and highly portable as well. Might not be as effective but it's pretty close...95+% as effective.

 

"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.

I agree with everyone saying adjustable... I have powerblocks.... they go to 90 but I believe you can get a kit that takes them up to 160

I always lift light with high reps when I'm using free weight, I watched my buddy jack his shoulder on a 100lb. Dumbbell.

I like to use the machines because I can max out without a spotter
