"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

My arms don't seem to be keeping up with the rest of my body. I was thinking of increasing my arm workouts to 2x/week. I usually do arms on fridays (bicep, tricep, forearm).

Would it help if I started doing arms on Mondays (chest) as well?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Well I started doing arms 2x/week.

Apparently nobody here has tried this yet? I'll update in a few weeks and let you know how it's going.

I used to do arms 2x a week, but that was before I started full body workouts. If you're working out all of your body, you should be getting some tri work on chest day and some bi work on back day.

But hey, it's good to try new things.

GUYS, you can train a musclegroup 2x, even 3x a week. there have been countless studies on this to confirm that frequent, low volume progressive exercise can create more hypertrophy (expanding of muscle tissue) and put less stress on your central nervous system then a typical "train each muscle group once a week with several exercises" routine.

I Work out arms 3 times per week in a split routine.

Moday and Friday - Bi's

Wednesday Tri's.

Seems to work well for me - although I'm not doing a lot of sets - or exercises. But I lift heavy - 5 or 6 rep range.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Everybody is different, Period! My muscles respond better with more exercise. If i work each muscle group one time per week, i see little gains (and vice versa).

Keep a journal, try different workouts, and find out what your body responds best to.
