"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.

Anyways that doesnt really matter, do you guys think I should start over and continue posting in this thread? Or make a new one?
 

"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.

Do you intend on responding to comments and questions posted in your thread this time?

Either way, don't start a new one...

No prob.

I need to get like a notebook for this like I had last time, and start posting my diet everyday. That was what made or break my performance. If I stopped posting everyday my diet wouldn't be on par.

Anyways, Yesterdays workout...

Friday, Oct 14

(Weight = NOT COUNTING BAR. Just the weight I put on the bar)

Squats: 0x10, 5x10, 10x10, 10x10, 15x10

Standing Military Press(will be abbreviated by SMP): 0x10, 5x10, 5x0, 5x8 (I probly should have done another set, but I was even sore after just the first set. I can't do much weight on these anymore. Can't wait to get that weight back up!)

CG Bench: 0x10, 5x10, 10x10, 15x10, 15x10

Knee Raise on Parallel Bar(will be abbreviated by KR): 0x20, 0x20, 0x20
 

"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.

It's monday and im still sore from friday, you think itl be ok to workout today?

Part of reason I did a 2 day split like this was for more rest time. Usually my soreness has gone away on a mon-fri period. but fri-mon is 1 less day.

Ok, worked out on tuesday instead. Forgot to post it earlier and I don't have the **** with me now so I'll post the weights tomorrow.

But I had a few questions.

(1) - I heard a crack in my knee when i was doing deadlifts. I also heard it doing squats on friday. Im not sure what this is from because ive NEVER heard a cracking noise when doing this before. I can't remember which knee it was on, but I did get a cut on my left knee from surfing a couple weeks ago. What do yall think?

(2) - Which direction is CHINUPS? When i was doing cg chinups.. i asked this guy and he said it was palms AWAY from you. But he didn't sound too sure. Which way is it?

1) no pain? don't worry.

2) palms towards you = chinups
palms away = pullups.

damn thats what i thought. I think i got a ****in injury from yesterday, ARGH!

It's the area on the bottom side of the arm between the lower and upper arm. Im guessing it was probly from Barbell curls. Even the bar with no weight was heavy, and for some dumbass reason I decided to add 5 lbs and only got 5 reps up. And now I think im injured. =/

so here's how my workout went:

Tuesday Oct 18
Weight=without bar

Deadlift: 0x10, 10x10, 20x10, 30x10
DB Bent Over Row: 10x10, 15x10, 20x10, 25x10

CG Pullup Bodyx7, Bodyx6, Bodyx4

BB Curl: 0x9, 5x5 <-- maybe I should just do DUMBBELL curls for now.?? Till I get my strength up.

DB Bench: 15x10, 20x10, 25x10, 30x10, 35x10

I think I have even more injuries...

I keep noticing when I go to sleep. That first night I felt the one around my forearm, and this past night I felt all on the back of my arm, like from the back of the shoulder to the tricep. I don't know how I got this but it hurts >:/
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
