"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.

Anyone suggest a good AB workout. I am currently bulking and doing the basic weight bench routines. Its working, but I dont want to have nice arms and chest, and theres the gut. But I need to watch the calorie burning. Suggestions?
 

"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.

Holding weights overhead are your best choice.

Start with the Overhead Press

For definition do these, each exercise for 1 minute and then immediately followed by the next exercise:


Trunk Twists
Standard Crunches
Alternate Bicycle
Oblique Crunches :)30/Side)
Leg Raises


As you get good and able to do it straight for 5 minutes all exercises, you can add some weights, dumbbells and belts on your legs and arms. Don't over look trunk twists, they are important for warm up and obliques.


This workout alone combined with small meal diet produces definition other people can dream of. Such as you stand next to a guy who does machines for an hour, and you have more defnition. It's harder than machines as well.


Keeping up with this set means cardio heart rate pace, so you're burning fat too.

Definition = diet.

What you want are big muscles. Strength = big muscles.

Using your exercises, you'll never get the abs I've got by doing heavy Front Squats & Overhead Press.
 

"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.

Perhaps.... But I look hot, and it only takes 5 minutes. I can do this stuff for the rest of my life, without the worry of getting j-lo belley if I quit.

I'm doing like the lowest level possible that he teaches, for fat people. Results satisfy me. He has a special workout for abs, I don't know what it is. In success stories it shows results.

If you don't want your testicles to ascend into your abdomen, I suggest not clicking on the above link.......... I'm still waiting for the left one to come back down.


To the OP:

So you don't want nice arms and chest? Was that a typo?

You can do all the crunches and ab masters you want, but unless you cut off the fat, you're not going to see your abs.

My favourite ab exercise is the weighted decline sit-up.

You're seriously worried about calorie burning? Do you really think that if you do ab work, you'll lose all your gains and turn into Christian Bale from 'the machinist'?

Are you actually bulking, or just trying to justify being fat? When do you plan on cutting?

No, I want the nice arms and chest, but I want my abs to look good too. I re-read my OP and it does read funny.

There is one exercise that has done wonders to my abs. I call it 'The Lebron Crunch', I'm sure there is some official scientific name, but I like naming exercises in a unique way hehe. I first saw it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRTZY3Ay_vw
He does it in the 0:13 and the 3:07 mark.

They're sometimes called jacknife situps.
You do abs for 5 sets, until near failure, or 15-20.
Abs recover very quickly, punish them!

I guess that's the official name. It could be the jackknife one too. Whatever helps you remember them better.

I just do it until I feel a good burn since I just started recently, and the burn doesn't take long to come either. As for how to do it, I learned just by watching the video closely. I'm sure if you google it you can get better instructions.

weight on your chest. knees bent a bit. regular sit ups. hook your feet under a bench or something. you'll be able to go up 5-10 lbs a week for a long while.

Hanging exercises are good for the abs. Knee ups, L seats. The overhead lifts are good, too. Because they sue your abs into a supporting role, which is what they are mostly designed for. It's possible to get a killer ab workout by never once lying down, on the ground or a bench.

Good advice. Anything Overhead will give you big ab muscles.
