"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I just got a new apartment that is on a second story. My current weight equipment is too heavy for the floors so I plan on limiting myself to many sets of dumbbells (10s through 70s) and a bench.

Is it possible to make serious gains with this meager set up?

For example my barbell squats of 215x20 would now be done with a 35lb plate in a backpack and a 70lb dumbbell in each hand. Obviously I would have to increase the reps since the total weight would be 175.

I guess the overall strategy is to work my way up to sets of 50 reps. Maybee 100.

Any thoughts?

BTW i cant afford a gym membership and this apartment has a sweet location. My current power rack weighs well over 1000 lbs
 

"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.
