"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Squats 90kg 3x5, focusing on depth... hips were very tight from running on sat.
Deads 130kg 1x5. Form was almost unacceptably bad here, I think it still counts but i need to drop back now like I am for squats, focus on technique again.
Bench 80kg 3x5 Pretty terrible reps in the 2nd and 3rd set... my left arm seems to be stonger than my right, I'm not too sure how to repair this defect but I might try things like - pushups (decline and one arm on ball etc), and some dumbell work. Anyone else have this problem?

As for your bench...Sometimes the other arm lags...it's okay usually it will fix itself so you will not need to have to train that arm seperately. Drop the weight a little if you need to if you can't do the weight...it's pretty simple really.
It would really help if you ate the samething everyday...not sure what's going with your diet but you could be a thousand times more effective if you kept up a diet that was the same everyday so we can see if your eating enough.
Good idea to drop the weight to do squats more effectively. no reason to keep cheating your way to the top only to realize your not even going parallel. But don't expect to be as strong after coming off a week off...next time you take a week off come in and push weights at about 80% your normal capacity and the next week try to get back into getting PRs
"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.
Thanks for your help Stallion it's good to know there is someone on here who likes helping the newbies.

Sorry for not responding right away man. The fish oil has loads of benefits, just read about it in the vault or google it for various results. You split it up for balance in calories and effects. I know a lot of guys who recommend even more but I think anything over 20 is just a bit ridiculous on the wallet. Yeah I take olive oil by itself but a lot of guys put it in their shakes. Personally I enjoy the taste seperate.
Well, the shake you could put a good amount of ice in it to keep it good. If it's absolutely impossible to bring a meal than you'll have to add more to each meal and such. What is your eating schedule like?
Nice squats man. They better be ATG!
congrats on the good workout dude
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
I've been following your diet pretty closely hey - have a few shocking days here and there due to hectic uni but overall I think I'm getting better with diet. Thanks for getting back to me with those clarifications man - I'll put up some diet logs soon!

Have you ever video taped yourself lifting or had some powerlifting dude check out your squat? It's good to get a idea of what you look like when lift afterall you can to see if your doing it right.
Keep working on the diet and hows the BF % and weight doing? Got a goal of how big you want to be?

I had that problem, too, for a little while. One arm dumbbell bench presses might help you, it forces each arm to do it's own work. Also one arm push ups, I do those for fun from time to time.
150kg 1x2 squat - the second one was probably the hardest lift i've ever completed, took about 10 seconds to get it up, thought I was going to pass out. Think I'll stop going for egotistical PRs and do some reps at lower weights!
120kg 1x3 deadlift... these were hard too, as I havent dead lifted in a while, my back seems to be curving, may have to drop back for a bit.
80kg 3x5 bench - these are getting a bit easier.
4,6,5 60kg calf raises.
2x8 dips.

I'd expect you aren't hitting a good depth in the squat, but I may be wrong.
Good work nonetheless, keep it up.
"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.
16/5
squats with approx 80-90kgs... wasnt really counting,
front squats with about 50kg

some dumbell and stationary bike work.
okay so Im really focusing on depth in my squats to make sure im doing them right.

how about throwing some extra calories ( brown rice, pasta,olive oil ) in there ? You'd probably gain faster, again I don't know about the weight, bf% situation.
