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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Work back and legs on the same day. Leg workouts work your back too, so doing squats one day, deadlifts the next is not the best idea.Originally posted by DJDamage
Is it possible to work your legs and shoulders one day and the following day work you back and bicepts? will that give me enough rest or will it hurt my progress?

Everyone's body is different.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

If you are going to work your two largest muscle groups on the same day, prepare for some heavy DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness) not to mention the amount of calories this will consume. So make sure you load up an hour or 2 before you hit the gym. Then pile on the protein afterwords.Originally posted by MetalFortress

Depends on how used to the lift you are, although it would do a number on your back. Agreed on the calories. I don't even bother with deadlifts anymore personally. Olympic lifts give a good enough workout to the same muscles, enough that I maxed out at 308 lbs on my first day ever deadlifting.Originally posted by Lomi

Unless you're pushing candy-ass weights, I disagree. With heavy poundages your form doing squats AND deadlifts will suffer and increase the likelihood of injury and decrease the efficiency of the workout.Originally posted by MetalFortress

i agree w/ that. No way you can do deads and squats the same day heavy.Originally posted by Warboss Alex

If you can do it then fair play to you. I personablly can't.
