"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.

So I've been Crossfitting it for about 1 1/2 months now. Prior to that I followed a pretty consistent training split.

One of the workouts of the day (WOD), was 135lb Clean and Press, 30 reps for time. I have done this workout 3 times now, and my times are improving each time. Last night I managed a 5:30. I know it doesn't sound impressive but please don't knock it til you try it.

Just a sample of the ease and simplicity of CrossFit. Like I did some more after that, but that was the core of my workout..
 

"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.

Has it translated into increased power? In addition to the endurance rise.

A clean and jerk is a high coordination exercise. Using it in EDT (energy dense training aka crossfit) is quite dangerous in my opinion.

Definitely an increase in power.. I am down to just under 4 minutes for the 30 reps of clean and press.. Also started off setting the load so its 50/40. For instance do 5 reps, jump over bar and do 5 more. Alternate until you have completed the total of 30 reps.

Just a warning, this is rough and I do not recommend starting heavy.
