"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

What's up guys.... I need some help.

I just saw the movie Annapolis and the main character when he is jumproping has a really good looking body. I like how he has broad shoulders and ....well its a basic V , I also saw some trailer to a videogame Resident Evil 5 where the main character has the same body just slightly more defined.

I was wondering how do I get this body? What kind of exercises should I do to get this sort of body...I do cardio now and I do bench press, crunches ...the generic stuff. I do have a decent body...not super toned as I want but the build is there, I just need some exercises to help me get that body....and if you have any other advice to help me out

PS: Can you please use laymans terms...I dont know all the fitness lingo lol so take it easy with me thanks guys!
 

"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.

Hmm, I don't know what any of these guys look like, but I'm guessing you're gonna have to gain some mass to look anything like them? If that's the case, you need to jump on a basic mass gain routine whilst watching your carbs and doing cardio to drop a little bit of bodyfat.

For exercises it's gonna be the basic mass gaining exercises..routine I've been doing basically is like this..

monday
---
lat pulldowns 3x5
squats 3x1-3, 1x5-8
barbell rows 3x6
ez-bar curls 3x8

wednesday
---
flat DB press 3x5
dips 3x5-8
DB shoulder press 3x5-8
tricep pushdowns 3x8

friday
---
deadlifts 3x5
lat pulldowns 3x5
barbell rows 3x5-8
ez-bar curls 3x8

and put some calves and abs in there somewhere, like 3x15 for each.

The rep ranges aren't set in stone, just do whatever you need to progress.

Eat at least 1.5g of protein per lb of your bodyweight. So if you're 160lbs, at least 1.5*160 = 240g. Try to get more like 2g per pound though, so at 160, 320g of protein would be ideal.

Your protein sources are beef, chicken, eggs, tuna, turkey etc...I'd avoid milk if you're trying to get a pretty lean physique as above.

For your carbs, only eat carbs in the mornings (like, first 2 or 3 meals of the day), and keep it to low GI carbs like oats, brown rice, veggies, fruit, avoiding bread, white pasta etc. This carbs thing really depends on your current body fat percentage and all that.

Your fats will come from eggs, beef, and fish oil (15g per day).

The reason my diet advice is really sketchy is because this is all really personal...no one knows how heavy and/or lean you are at the moment :)
