"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.

Hey guys, what are some exercises to tone up the sides of your body (love handle area, and sides of your ribs)?
 

"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.

You can work these muscle groups with sidebridges, drawbridges and such. These are the musles that connect to your hips and the lower part of your abs. Sidebends are hard to describe, so follow the link later on. Drawbridges are laying down flat on a bench or floor and litfing your legs from prone to straight up (hence the name of the excercise). Add weight once it becomes easy.

HOWEVER

Working these muscles will not get them to show unless you have a low bodyfat %. So if you are doing bulking, don't try to get 6 pack abs to peek through, just do these exercises anyway, so that when you start cutting, the muscles will be toned.

As for the sides of your ribs, do lat pulldowns, seated rows, bent over rows, and most any back exercise.

There are none. Lose the fat, it works wonders.

They are called the obliques buddy. They contract with the abs. Deadlifts and squats hit them quite well. There's no need to do all these crunch variations.
 

"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.

Do me a favor and stop giving advice about bodybuilding. Where the fukk do you come up with this ****?

If by the sides of your ribs you mean obliques then they are worked during abdominal exercises. You aren't exactly directly hitting the abs when you are rowing.

you're referring to the serratus and they are worked by chinups.

They might be indirectly involved with chinups, like forearms, but a much better exercise for the serratus is the often ignored pullover.

The ribs are surrounded by the seratus anterior muscles. Pull overs work this area, as well as pecs and lats to a lessor extent.

The obliques can be hit through side bends.

Changing up your rountine every once in a while is good.

Indeed, these 'love handles' that you guys seem to be referring to are actually the 'obliques'.

Info on Obliques

Mainly Side Bends \ Side Crunches \ Crunch Twists work the obliques well, and target them mainly.

Check out this url for oblique exercises:

Good luck!

“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.
