"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.

Body Image, tape measure

I'm 5'6" and currently 145lbs. I am bulking up from 125lbs.
My body image is still the same when I look over myself.
I still see the same 105lb twig I use to be when I look in the mirror.

A digital weight scale doesn't really take into account if I'm just packing on some pounds in my gut.

So I figure that I should start tracking my progress using a tape measure rather than just by using a weight scale.

Is there a chart somewhere that can give me an idea of what to shoot for? For instance wrist, bicep, waist, thighs.
Something that'll give me an idea of how many inches my biceps should be for my height?

I'm mostly shooting for a physique like Brad Pitt in Snatch. And at the very most, I wouldn't want a physique any bigger than Marcus Schenkenberg.

Thanks.

"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.

wrist, forearm, waist

actually, buy a set of accumeasure calipers, they're like $20. you can measure your BF% with the calipers and get a real idea of what you're putting on when you go up in weight.

I don't take these things 100% seriously, just as a guidline. There are parts I would like to be larger and stuff, and same with smaller.

Here Ya Go

Awesome, thanks.
Just what I was looking for.

It'll give me a general idea of what to shoot for.

I'm doing a three day split: bench/curls, squat, deadlift (abs, wrists on off-days). But the gains aren't consistent throughout my body. This will help me pinpoint areas I need to put extra work into...like my wrists/forearms.
 

"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.

The gains won't be consistant. It has to do with the larger/smaller nature of certain muscle groups.
