"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.

Has anyone invested in Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning stuff ?. If so I wanted your thoughts and feedback on his techniques, Cheers
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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'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.

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.
