"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.

I can't really afford gym equipment so I want to get gain muscle without spending so much cash. What can I do? I also have two 15 lbs. dumbbells so if you can impliment those into a routine it would be great.

Thanks guys

"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'm a big fan of bench dips. The proper way uses two gym benches, but you can do this with two chairs or a chair and a bed. You just suspend yourself sitting up between the two chair seats with your hands on the edge of one chair seat and your heels resting on the other chair seat. Then "dip" yourself down and up using your triceps. This excercise also works your entire upper body, but mostly your triceps.

Then of course you have the classic crunches and pushups, but they don't do much on theirown.

With just dumb bells, I think you can work out at least 85% of the muscle groups. Uh go do a search, I'm not going to help you unless you send me $$$ for web links.

It is fairly tough to gain muscle without a form of resistance. Sprinting would be your best option along with push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, bodyweight squats, explosive medicine ball throws. You also have to eat like a maniac.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Look up a male gymnasts routine. they do VERY little actual weight training though they are extremly strong athletes. I was reading somewhere that this one gynmast coach teaches his athletes how to do over 10 different variations of a simple exercise like a dip, all hitting different muscles.

Well I go to boxing every Friday and everyone there is extremely strong and fit and ripped. None of them lift any weights at all, just bodyweigth exercises and the other things that go along with boxing.

So obviousley they are doing something right.

They aren't huge but their muscles are very well-defined and they are damn strong.

Credit due to Matt Furey for "Combat Conditioning". His home programs which sell for 30$ or so are useful in complementing regular workouts and building body strength. They're fantastic workouts if you can't bring weights, not to mention you focus on lifting your own body in a variety of positions.

The usual plus some.

Push ups, sit ups, leg ups (oh and they just don’t do these, they do a LOT of these), arms up, legs up, on the elbows for anywhere between 30 seconds and 3 minutes.

Skipping for 15 minutes, various leg exercises involving jumping and moving as well as various punches (not on bags) whilst moving.

Plus they do lots of bag work, sprinting, other running and jogging.

Threes more but I’ve just forgot one or two a think. So they don’t do anything out of the ordinary they just do a lot of it a lot of the time.

I completely forgot about skipping. Good exercise.

How about chinups and pullups? I've been doing these lately. Monkeys are stronger than me.

"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.
