"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.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

In my opinion the only equipment you need (aside from a barbell and weights) is a power rack and a nice bench.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

My advice: Don't waste your money man.


I got a "York 4 in 1" home gym machine as well as a bench press, barbells, weights and a punching bag. I vowed to make use of them everyday but once the novelty wore off (couple weeks), they just sat idle and took up space.


Seriously I would take $30 for the homegym machine I paid ~$200 for a couple years back and is still in pristine condition. Sure the bench press I have gets used from time to time, but the only thing I really use consistently is the punching bag because it requires very little prep and I can give it a few jabs any time I'm frusterated or just passing by.


Maybe it's different for you, but for me, once I had the equipment at my whim, ready whenever I wanted to use them, I lost all motivation to train at home. You constantly think "Oh I'll do a few reps after I watch Sportscentre, it's not like they're going anywhere." Ya, like that happens...


A much better use of the money would be to get a pass for a gym close to your place and then draw up a schedule for going 3-4 times a week, and STICK TO IT.


This will:

-spare you some cash
-get yourself into a routine that won't overtrain your muscles
-put you in an environment where you're focused solely on lifting
-stop the guilt you get when you look at dumbbells that haven't been used in weeks
-allow pro's at the gym to give you advice if you're doing something wrong
-save you money that you can spend on supplements
-provide you access to much better quality equipment
-prevent you from doing half assed sets during commercials


Ok, that's enough. Just my 2 cents
