"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.

Heed my warning: If you do not read this book without the bias of what you already "know", you won't understand it at all. Lifting for any reason other than self improvement is suicide. I know most people understand this, but if you lift for girls, you get a girl and lose motivation to lift once you have her. Then you get gross and saggy. Nobody likes that, do they? Ha!

Anyways, this is a GREAT guide.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

They're the same routine. It's just the traditional and effective 5x5 routine.

I'm going to shoot in the dark and say that the 5x5 routine is so effective because it uses natural movements, which are working more than a single muscle.

I can't say that I've ever found a contraption in nature that made me isolate only the bicep muscle and move my arms in a strange fashion.

Haha.

"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.

I"d like to know what Jack Lalanne's daily workout consisted of. Until he was 50, (1970) he had a $10,000 prize for the man who could follow him thru his daily routine. Nothing special, what he did every day. In 1970, gold was $135 an oz, and gas was 40c a gallon, so figure 100k in today's money. Pretty likely to have some serious challenges, but Jack never had to pay off. :)

It's sound as a foundation, but to me, routines like that are just asking for imbalances. I believed in the 'you don't need to work arms' stuff for way too long. Now I'm paying for it with lagging arms, complete lack of lateral/rear delts and sore elbows.

As a foundation, SS is fine but I think you really need to be adding in some extra work. For this reason, and the fact progression is ensured, I prefer 5/3/1 - GREAT, GREAT routine.
