"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Alright, At this point I'm horribly skinny and ..fairly short (used to be worse).

I can't go to a gym, and I have no weights.

Just assuming all that, what could I do to effectively improvise?

My muscle comes fast, but I want a routine that won't leave me unbalanced and one that I can more easily get into habit.


I know it's a lot of thinking, but I'd really appreciate it. Being weak sucks, and being genetically weak sucks too.. But I'm going to improve!
 

"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.

Ask your bucktooth g/f to castrate you with her teeth.

Results always come quickly to beginners, then it gradually slows down. Seriously, why not just go out and buy some weights? There are a few options.. there was this term I'd suggest you google.. I forget it though :p something that alot of gymnasts do that puts on muscle without weights. Hopefully somebody else knows what I'm referring to.

But without weights, you're limiting your gains.

Yeah maybe you're right, where would I buy them? I seriously have no idea...

Yeah, don't try to half-ass it, get some weights. *Why* can't you go to a gym?

Anyway, loads of shops should sell them if you keep your eyes open...I think even places like walmart might sell weights?

All you really need is a barbell, an adjustable bench, a fair bit of weight, and preferably a very cheap/homemade power rack. Got an empty room or garage?

If you CAN'T get access to weights (and I don't see why not):

Pressups, pullups, dips, squats.
