"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.

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?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

With the preponderance of inane bulking questions "critique my bulking routine" threads lately, it leads me to believe that you guys don't see the big ass sticky at the top of the forum. READ IT. THIS WILL ANSWER PRETTY MUCH 95% OF YOUR BULKING QUESTIONS. THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR. NEWBIES AREN'T SO UNIQUE AS TO NEED "CUSTOMIZED" HELP.

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.

I don't know, alot of basketball players are doing some serious lifting nowadays.

It depends on the program, but there are some pretty damn strong basketball players nowadays.

Isn't David Robinson like 7 feet tall and only 250 pounds? For his height, he really isn't all that huge.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I wouldn't quit lifting completely. Just figure out which is more important - playing basketball or lifting. If basketball is important, then do as much for lifting as you can without hurting your basketball. Lift after practice at night or early in the morning. At the very least it will keep you from losing strength, and it will make bulking a lot easier to start up once basketball season is done.

You definitely don't need to quit lifting for basketball. Most major college basketball programs do.

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.

lifting for explosive strength is much different than lifting for mass.. even though any kind of strength training will affect an increase in muscle mass.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Bulk in the off-season.

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.
