"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.

Post workout (right after you finish training) you should have about 40g whey in water, and with 50g of dextrose/glucose if you have it.

PPW (Post-Post-Workout) about an hour later have some form of protein (chicken breast, leant meat, fish) with complex carbs (basmati rice, sweet potato).
 

"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.

So your saying I have too much protein in that Snack? I do have some whey protein stuff but I think its nasty. I really wanna invest in some good Whey. But I dont know where to get it affordably. GNC? Local Grocery store?

You can get good protein at trueprotein.com along with carbs for an amazing price, if your on the westcoast your shipping and handling will be cheap too.

Also 1fast400.com and get 10lb bag of on whey there.

Whatever u do don't give GNC anymore of your money unless your friends with the people that work there and they can give u crazy discounts.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Thanks. Ive never acctually been in a GNC. It was just a guess as to where to get it. Yeah. Unfortunatly my parents are really sceptical about buying anything online, and I dont have a credit card or anything so that might be a prob. Hopfully I can figure it out. Any sugestions on Flavor/Brand while Im asking?

ON is a good brand, i get double rich chocolate from them

With true protein i usually get unflavored....yeah i know its pretty boring and the taste isn't good but i save more money. They have a huge flavor selection though so take your pick.

Incline BB Bench: 145 2 x 6
Decline BB Bench: 155 2 x 8
Skull Crushers: 65 x 15
Behind Neck Press: 45 x 15

Thanks for the info. I looked at what I have right now and its Pro-Rated by Protein USA (Alpine Vanilla Flavor). I had some today and its ok with water. And its like a full 6 lbs bucket so I guess Ill just use it till Its gone.

Oh and Im not gonna be able to do the Meal thing I talked about. Apparently the turkey is really expensive so yeah. It looks like Ill just stick with 2 scoops of Whey.

Today I did:
Dead lifts: 245 x 5 & 265 x 5
Rows: 200 x 10 & 210 x 7 Failure
Curls: 55 x 10, 6 Failure
Forearms: 55 2 x 20

So far I think that my normal day for eating is about as follows:
4 eggs or breakfast shake drink (when I have no time)
Sub Sandwhich
Protein shake and Micro Burrito
Another Snack
Dinner

And I should prolly mention that I drink alot of Hot Coco. Prolly 2-3 cups a day. This is prolly bad but I love them too much to give them up.

Today I did:
Squats: 205 x 6, I tried to get off 225 but I couldnt get the form to do them safly
Glutes: 35lbs 2 x 15
Abs: 35lbs 2 x 20

I dont think I need to do calves right now. I think that playing Basketball is making them sore.

Also I think I might start doing sprints (5-10 min) 1-2 non workout days a week. Possibly wednesday.
 

"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.

I got some new performance multivitamins the other day. Also I got some flax oil. Those and my whey protein powder should provide me with plenty of vitamins, minerals and protien for my diet.

BTW this week is monday, wednesday, friday.

Update / New Stuff

After being grounded a week, not being alowed to go work out I did some research on BWE (Body Weight Excercises) And I will be doing them for this summer. Simple stuff like Pushups, Pullups, Sittups, Dips, Body Squats, etc. along with HIIT twice a week should get me fit and ripped in no time (No Time being 3-4 months)

Heres what I have for a scedule so far:

Routine 1:
Rowing 30 min +/- (Almost Failure)
Pushups 1 x 20, 2 x 20 (Variations)
Dips 1 x 5, 2 x 20 (Variations)
Pull-ups 2 x 5
Sit-ups 4 x 40 (Variations)

Routine 2:
HIIT
Body Squats 3x 50
Squat Jumps 5 x 10
Lunges 2 x 30

Routine 1 on Monday and Thursday
Routine 2 on Tuesday and Friday

I will make add reps/sets every 2 weeks so I keep improving. This routine will be very chalenging and if you dont believe me go try them.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Also I did 315 on Deads the other day. Seems like I have yet to find out where my strength acctually ends. I could prolly do 335. Maybe Ill try in a week or 2.

DIET TIME

Also I should Say I am starting a Diet next week. It will be about 1800-2000 calories a day. 6 meals of about 300-350 cals each. Im eating clean too, Im quitting Soda, Fast Food, Processed Food and Sugar.

Here is what I will be eating mainly:Tuna, Chicken, Turkey, Lean Beef and Pork, Fish, Sea food (Clams, Crab, etc.) Eggs, Cottage Cheese, Apples, Carrots, Whole Grain Wheat bread, Beans, Nuts, and Peanutbutter.
EDIT: Adding Oats, Brown Rice and Grapefruit. lol. Need veggies.

Thats pretty much it. Ill tell ya how it goes.
