"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.

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.

Enjoy!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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"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.
