"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

"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 think he does clarify it since he was saying how to warmup and nothing about the actual set up of your routine. He gave how you should progress up to your working weight.

i think it makes sense. but the author doesn't clarify how many worksets should follow if your just doing a normal workout not a max out.

what do you guys think?
Very good post that I have linked on this site quite a number of times. A lot of people would be a lot better of following that advice.

It doesn't matter how many worksets you do or what the numbers are, you warm up accordingly for that weight. The heavier the weight the more warm up sets you do.

um that article isn't written in braille.
 

"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.

from the article itself:

"45 x 5 x 2
95 x 3
115 x 2
135 x 1"

then your work sets...
