"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.
basketball and bulking?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If you did read it, you'll see that playing basketball and bulking up don't mix.
When was the last time you saw a huge ass basketball player?
P.S. Shaq isn't that big (muscle mass wise) given his height.
Fvck Shaq, look at Karl Malone and David Robinson, they're fvcking huge.Originally posted by DIESEL

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

he's just ripped as fukk. Karl Malone isn't that big either, for his height.Originally posted by oatmealandtuna
Isn't David Robinson like 7 feet tall and only 250 pounds? For his height, he really isn't all that huge.

Look at programs like Michigan State, Cincinnati and a few others. They all used HIT training and their players are alot stronger than you think. They get pretty bulky too.
I have an article on the Michigan State program, it was a link off the cyberpump site. If I can find it, I'll post it. I know I printed it out once.

"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.

Bulk in the off-season.Originally posted by war_eagle
Does anyone know how to bulk while playing a sport like basketball? I need to get bigger but I'm not sure if I can bulk while playing. Should I take a break and come back?
During the season you just want to maintain what you gained during the off-season. Try to maintain the amount of weight you were lifting during the off-season but lower the volume(i.e. number of sets and reps). If you keep lifting heavy during the season you will suffer from DOMS and you won't be able to play as hard.
Try to focus on lower body explosiveness and do alot of plyometrics.
