"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hi English,

I've got it and do the royal court, but I'm convinced Hindu pushups have contributed, not help a mild rotor cuff problem.

I also know a few people who won't do the neck bridge because they had problems.

Also he's not exactly the pinnical of abdominal midsections is he?

I prefer the Ultimate Warrior Guide, that's well cool, have you got that?

Hey Alpine,

I heard so many different view points on the Hindu Squats. My instructor was also convinced that they are the best and simplest form of exercises to build endurance in the lower body.

I think everyone has somthing negative to say about everything but yeah I agree with you.

Thomas Kurz wrote a brief article on Hindu Squats but I feel Matt Furys stuff might be better as it goes into depth on the subject.

I am planning to invest in Matt's Combat Conditioning videos next month. I just wanted to justify that it is money worth spending.

No havent got the Ultimate Warrior Guide

Did u get my emails ?.

Cheers..

He may not be the pinnacle of the abdominal section or look like you want to look, but then again his book isn't titled "Hot to look hot and ripped." It's supposed to be FUNCTIONAL conditioning.

Hi err,

I don't think I've had one I haven't replied to.

I'd check out bear share (one word) first Matt's stuff was on there last time I looked, you really need broadband though if you download the vids.

Hindu squats are ok. I think the trick is build up slowly. I do about 50 in one go which is nothing, but I'm doing other stuff as well and deadlifting.

Had a go with a kettlebell yesterday, they are fun, but bloody knackering.

Check mail then.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

He may have been good in his day, but he's out of combat condition, no two ways about it. He's a fat bastard.

Having said that, some of the best brains of the Bodybuilding world were never body builders- Arthur Jones being a good example. So I don't feel it devalues the quality of the teachings.
