"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.

for most time until 3 years ago i was in the gym pumping iron.
i find it is excellent way of training and i would reccomend it
to everybody.
only that i think that you should substitute the bench press
with pushups from every angle.
sub db flyes with no weight flyes and
db side raises with no weight side raises,


when i started training at home without the iron,naturally i
had to switch to pushups.
after a long experimentations i found that the best (for me)
are decline "sink" pushups and top half partial"pump" pushups.
for a quick arm pumps a high reps wall pushups is great.

for my lower body i use hindu squat and half squat.

i dont have much free time so my training is like this:
monday to friday

when i get up
1 set 10 reps pushup
15 min after
1 set 10 reps pushups
1 set of squats

before work
1 set 10 reps pushup


after work
2 sets 2o reps pushup
1 set of squats

eating

before going to sleep
1 set of 10 reps pushup

whenever i have time i do neck stretches


now i am on hollydays
my training is the same (sets spread through the day)
only that i do from 300 do 500 pushups a day
i got bad knees so i do 50 hindus a day.
no weight side raises and no weight flyes(standing)
and isometric exercises.

my upper body got a decent shape and got even better
with 300-500 pushups a day.after two days i see the difference.


1-if you never trained before do a medical checkup
2-dont do 500 pups the first day,build to it through months
3-you can even start with isometrics than slowly adding
pushups and squats
4-the principle of spreading sets is called greasing the groove




opinions,suggestions,critiques


cheers and good training

alex



pp.s. i bought my self a 20 pound dumbell and during the day whenever
i pass near the dumbel i lift it 5 times.
it should be around 50-75 lifts a day
 

"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.

If you like this type of training look into Pavel Tstatoline(SP). His website is www.dragondoor.com. He has a few good books too. You should add one legged squats into your workout.
