"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I know i dont wanna look like Zac efron but seriously guys, what do you tell yourself everytime you wanna skip a leg day? My pt told me to eat like 4 chicken legs after that. Do you guys have any suggestion on what to eat or supplements to take after?
 

"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.

You have to get to a point where your excited for the challenge! It will increase your power. It will throw away any stress you have in your life as you direct your focus onto your gym work.

I used to hate leg day too, but now it's a religious thing, and I know it's hard work!

Its actually my 2nd favorite after doing chest.

I love the feeling of (the right kind) of pain in a big muscle group because its the feeling thats going to cause muscle gain.
 

"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 convinced it's necessary to eat or supplement differently after a leg workout. I do find that light cardio the day after greatly alleviates muscle soreness.

Now you know why they call it "legwork."
Blood flow, throw good nutrition in there and all that soreness gets worked out. I don't really get sore either when I am in my "zone" for being an "active" person.

A good way to get over your hated for leg day is to squat at the end of every training session. That way you don't have a whole day dedicated to legs which has you vomiting at the end, and you just end up feeling slightly nauseous when you leave the gym.

Also you should find out what works for you. A whole session of training legs for me does not work. I'm often feeling sick half way through and can't exercise to full intensity.

Nowadays I tend to do a 20 rep squat 4 days a week at the end of the workout. My legs have never been so strong from training this way.
 

"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 for one want to see this :D

Chest and biceps/triceps are my favourite muscle groups to hit, but you can't have a good body without no damn well muscled legs. They're not my favorite, but I don't exactly hate working them either.

Squatting heavy weights takes the most out of me, but it's probably the single best lower body - or overall any part - exercise you can do.

For me, calves are the biggest body part pain in the a$$ to develop. I find I have to use extremely heavy weights on this body part, and a lot of sets (5 to as much as 10 on some days) and a lot of reps (in the 15 to 20 range). Such a pain. You can get away with underdeveloped quads and hams, but if you have weak calves no matter what the rest of your body looks like, you will look like a weakling teenage girl.
Ok, the following was done with a 50lb weighted vest:

4x12 box jumps

8x3 deadlifts(335 lbs) followed by 5x15 deadlifts(225 lbs)---should have done one more just for fun to make it an even 100, haha

3x8 DB squat press curls with 30 lb DB followed by 2x30 with 10lb DB

3x12 banded hyperextensions(heavy band)

Farmers walk 100 steps forward/100 steps backward 40 lb DBs

Spread Eagle Sit ups x 100

20 rounds of:
1) 20 yard plate push
2) 20 pushups
-I only made it through 6 before my body said F U and started spasming all over which ended the workout, lol

Squats are great but I'd say deadlifts hold that title...it hits just about every single muscle group in the body.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I could see that...however not everyone can handle that move and it's very easy to injure yourself doing it due to the explosiveness of it.

I can't do any of the clean/jerk variations anymore because that explosive move as you come up really jacks up my knees.

Even if it is, the deadlift is extremely close to it...like 1% less maybe

deadlift has no "push" vertically with the arms/chest. the clean and press DOES. Guys don't like it cause they can't move as much weight that way (and impress people).

That's true but the amount of weight your arms and shoulders are holding up against gravity is far greater with the deadlift.

maybe, maybe not. Not everyone lifts maximally heavy in the deadlift, nor can everyone do so.

Gah.... I thought this would be a thread of guys posting pics of women's legs. I was fully prepared to bust out a ton of pictures of hot Asians with nice legs. :down:

What the hell:

"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.
