"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
