The first thing that hits me is how quick it is. I was in and out of the gym within 40 minutes, including stretches, warmup sets and breaks between regular sets. I hope this thing works. Have you guys had good results with it? I'm especially interested in getting that "V" form that is most attractive to ladies.
"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 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.

Yes it works. I'm on it, I advise it to everyone who comes to me for strength training advice.speakeasy said:The first thing that hits me is how quick it is.

40mins is just what you need. The 3 exercises will stress your body like nothing else. It's easy now, but it will get tough. In a few weeks you'll be glad the 40mins are over.
Don't underestimate 3 times squat a week. You'll the V shape & the X shape.

squats are seriously, the ultimate excercise.

Your upperbody is being worked indirectly. Your whole upperbody tigthens when you got heavy weight on your back. The abs also tighthen up to keep you upright.speakeasy said:Oh those squats were surely a workout. I usually don't even break a sweat unless I'm doing cardio, but the squats had me sweating within a couple minutes.
The squats don't do much for your upper body right?
You're getting a full body workout with one exercise.
"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.
Those squats I did yesterday have my legs so sore that I can barely walk straight. I had to go up some stairs today and it was MURDER on my legs! I hope I'm better by tomorrow because I'm supposed to be meeting a friend for a bike ride.

train them again, but very light. It helps recovery.speakeasy said:Those squats I did yesterday have my legs so sore that I can barely walk straight.

You shouldn't go too heavy when just starting out. Start light, gradually increase the weight on the bar. Give your body some time to adapt. Squatting 3 times a week is, as you've experienced, very stressing for beginners.
