Any Cross Fitters frequenting the boards around here?
"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.

"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.

whats crossfit?

Bryce,
It's honestly hard for me to explain scientifically.. The best way I can explain it is your body being forced to adapt to insane intensity that is ever changing. CrossFit is circuit training on steroids. The weight loads are not always crazy heavy but the amount of volume you are doing in the amount of time is the sick part. You don't rest either.
One of my favorite Cross Fit workouts is called "Fran".. Its a superset that combines the Thruster (Front squat & shoulder press) with Pullups. The workout is done as prescribed with 95lb barbell for your Thrusters, and bodyweight pullups. It goes 21 reps of each, 15 of each, and 9 of each. This is done back to back, etc.. with no rest. The workout itself takes about 5-8 minutes but the smoke factor is insane..
I have been lifting weights seriously since 2003, and over time, its just hard to keep it fresh, but CrossFit allows me to do that. I still bodybuild, but its more like do 1 or 2 crossfit workouts, then finish off body with light weights. When I returned from Afghanistan I was up to about 220lbs and just was not in good shape (lack of cardio and crappy food).. but now 7 weeks later I have shed 30lbs and am getting back to my normal weight and definition..
Check it out .. www.crossfit.com or search crossfit on youtube..
Don't knock it til you try it

"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.

I wouldn't say bodybuilders.. Perhaps a cross between powerlifter/bodybuilder.Kerpal said:
The whole purpose of that is to build a decent foundation of strength and stability so you can do whatever it is you'd like to do, without poor conditioning or lack of strength playing a part.
If it were up to me I'd like everybody here interested in athletics to follow a solid strength building routine for 18-24 months before considering what direction to go in, be it bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, sports, track, or just for fun.
I'll try a crossfit program next time I decide to shed some lbs, or for a break from the norm.

right on quicksilver.. thats pretty much how I got started with it. It is good for me because I need to be quick and light on feet and at same time have some mass.. so it works for me.
To each their own though. As long as you are moving weight, whether it be your body weight or weights, and eating properly, results will come.

"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.

I like the concept of what crossfit offers...but I modify it to be able to incorporate it into my existing programs. I don't think I have the conditioning or muscular endurance to do a "pure" crossfit type work out.
Example of what I did yesterday:
On my back chest day after, cleans, incline press and dumbell rows, I did a circuit where I tried to get 25 pull ups (only got 23 first go and 18 second), then 20-30 push ups and then 5/side one leg ATG squats w/ bodywt.
Its a good change up from regular training, and I will be doing more stuff like that on conditioning days!

Airborne, check out NavySeals.com for a military based version of the crossfit WOD. It's the same type workout, with a little more focus on endurance. Should be right up your alley, considering your screen name.
