"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.

Awesome job, congrats!
 

"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.

probably shouldve taken a rest day today because theres not much i could do with DOMs on all major muscle groups.

Still, hit shoulders and arms, heavy on OH press (70kg x 3 then dropset to failure).

shrugs up to 120kg sets of 20(ouch)

lots of pullups a bit of biceps and some dips and some decline press


Basically a "BroDay"

not enough sleep last night.

naptime
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Yo whaddap? Was meant to be back day, but my buddy wants me to put him through legs tomorrow, so switched up my whole week.

Chest Hypertrophy

50 x 12
90 x 12
110 x 5
110 x 5
110 x 5
90 x 8
60 x 16 (down to neck, not chest - really feels across the top of chest)


OH press 70kg x 3

cable Fly
DECLINE
45kg each side x 6 x 10 x 8
INCLINE
35kg x 8
25kg x 12
30kg x 12


DB Pullovers
32.5kg x 20 x 20 x 23(reps for jeeezus! :D)

fvvccckkk! May well keep the weight dropped to 32.5 for a while and just hit sets of 20 on those! Badass!

Some pullups
tricep work
pushups - close arms coz elbow :(


Another fella Ive not seen for a few weeks mentioned how ive got bigger round arms and shoulders.

weighted 99.7 kg post workout and pre food

So weight gains have pretty much slowed up. Could be due to many many factors.

Test base is a necessary ingredient - this we already know, and natural test levels are surpressed ATM from D-bol = less gainz than the first couple of weeks.

Ive not had the necessary amount of sleep lately.

Was ill for a bit and didnt eat properly for a week or so - D-bol is anticatabolic, so I didnt lose anything, but I still need to play catchup.

Also - May need to take a higher dose - perhaps the amount (mg/Lb) has reached its limit on size growing?

My buddy took some before (Methandrostenolone) said these ones (methandienone) arent as good. Possible he needed a bigger dose - cos he took the same dose and didnt put on size whereas I HAVE and my other buddy is about 2 week in and he HAS too.

Wont be taking any higher dose this time around because of the strain it would put on my liver.

Anyway theres my thoughts. 1 more week to solidfy the gains Ive made (7Lb for definite - bf% looks about the same in the mirror) Will try to eat and sleep better to see if I grow anymore.

Still theres my thoughts on it so far. Successful? we shall see how long the gainz in strength and size stay. Probably will jump straight onto creatine cycle at the end of this too, to give the gainz that extra chance to hold. :)
 

"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.

The PR train is rolling!

Don't know if you'd need a higher dose or not, I'm not educated in that area, but some things just have to take a natural course..

Ive been gaining like 2Lb a month lately, with diet, training and sleep all on point so no - I couldnt do 7Lb in 3 weeks. plus the strength gains I doubt I wouldve gotten either.
It was all an experiment anyway buddy.

Nothing is a waste of time to me - I gianed some knowledge, experience and a bit of extra muscle :D

Leg Day

Buddy messaged me earlier and cancelled cos he's ill.
NVM - I went through the grinder on my own!

Frontsquat
Dirty awful grind of 20 fvcking reps on 60kg went like this

6 reps then an isometric hold at the bottom for 6 seconds
5reps with a 5 second hold
4reps with a 4 second hold
3 with a 3 second hold
2 with a 2 second hold
then 1 - that last grimy horrible nasty evil rep.

then 25kg weighted pullup set of 8 *****REP PR***** surprising really, since ive not smashed these out in a while.

Frontsquat
125kg x1

lightweeiiightttt ****PR****

Backsquat
100kg x 8
130kg x 3***REP PR*** - again surprising since I beensmashing frontsquats for so long I all but neglected the backsquat.
110kg x 8 REP PR****(I think)
then 25kg weighted pullup set of 8

Frontsquat
90kg x 6

then 25kg weighted pullup set of 8

Backsquat
90kg x 8 _ this was a proper grind, i tell you - each rep was slow and low - i got to parallel, and looked in the mirror, then dipped an extra inch or 3.

50kg weighted pullup x 3***REP PR***

Calves - 3 sets of 20

then had to go, stuff to do.
 

"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.

Oh and your buddy cancelling on you on leg day makes me think of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R-hOkYpLDM
Ha ha nice - you know its a good day when the doms kick in before you even go to bed too!

Oh yeah - this weeks training days were all on zero calories - trained heavy BEFORE breakfast - makes the PRs a little more impressive to me anyway ;)

Smashed shoulders.

140kg x 20 on shrugs was about the only impressive thing.

So monday was my final D-bol Day (life stuff just made it easier to finish there)

tuesday was rest day Now We're In post cycle workouts - so creatine and strength training starts tomorrow.
Bench today was a hypertrophy one - didnt go over 100kg cos no spotter and my left rotator is going and the right ones not far behind.

ive picked up some msm to soften me up and clear me out and then we'll see how the shoulder is and what else is needed.

Ill see what I can do about pictures - its a 4kg difference, so not huge - but enough for people I know to notice.
Mostly I just saw the strength gainz there :)
Legs tomorrow. :)
 

"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.
