"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Okay, so my dad is making me hit the gym with him this summer, but he wants me to do pushups. No one has even really taught me how to do a pushup though. I mean, i can do like 5 then I'm already spent. How do I do a pushup properly?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

lie on your stomach all flat out
lean ony our palms about shoulder width
extend them till fully extended
get on your toes at the other end
keep your torso tight and in line with your ass and legs and back
press up and down staying tight, with your arms

everyone starts at fewer than a dozen at some point in their life, unless they managed to avoid them entirely while putting up big bench press numbers (and even that translates into fewer push-ups than you might guess). the way to get better is to do them every other day, or every day, and always try to do at least one more than the day before.

Do them controlled as well, you don't get much out of doing pushups, but might as well maximize what you can.

2 seconds up, 4 seconds down. When you're doing the "up" part of the pushup, a nice controlled 2 seconds is good. Control the "down" part so it takes you a good 4 seconds to come down.

Keep doing pushups like that, as Throttle said, 1 more than the day before is always good.

-

If I were you, I'd set a repetitions goal as well, for instance, if your goal is to do 15 pushups. Do 15, then once you get to 15, put some weight on your back and go for 15 again. A bag of rice or something that weights 5-10lbs is a good start.
 

"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.

If you're having problems do the girly pushups (on your knees) until you build up the needed strength and endurance.

Then you can move to regular pushups, then to one arm, then to weighed... etc.
