"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.

Hi, currently im followin anthony ellis' workout regime but i just need to ask a quick question. On one day i work on back and biceps, and the back exercise are wide grip pull-ups and latbar pulldowns Superset. however having down 3 sets of these my biceps lose alot of strength as they are used in both and it is hard to do the bicep exercises. Would it be productive to just do Deadlifts as my back exercise instead of these??? thx
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah, do deadlifts and then a back width exercise. So deadlifts and chinups for example. Or do deadlifts always and alternate between chinups and barbell rows each week.

No need to eff about with supersets, you won't be able to do maximal weights like that :)

Listen to you with your fancy words....

....They grow up so quick.....:cry:
 

"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.
