"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.

"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.

Training 5x5 at the moment, when I finish the cycle I want to increase my power (Think NFL linebacker strength & conditioning), because I may start to play with one of the few leagues down here in Australia. Yourself dude?

10x3 sounds interesting although I'm thinking your recovery'd need to be good for it? Anything IA says is good though. :up:

5x5 is solid. I'm actually doing something along those lines to get myself back up to speed, I haven't worked out hard for a looooooooong time (real life getting in the way).

Cheers guys, keep up the good work!

Thats the samething i thought, but IA has a lot of different versions of it depending on recovery ability. For most guys he spaces the 10x3's out and cycles them with 1x3,3x3 or something to that extent. And for some guys he'll do 8x3 or 6x3 just depending. In conclusion the man is a genius.
 

"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.

Hey there rupert :p

Training (or lack thereof) is going well. I've only just come back from a 16 break due to a long term hip problem. I've been easing myself into a full body workout every 5 or 6 days, and the strength is coming back slowly. I'm only squatting and benching around 100 - 120kg but my form is good and I'm not in pain, which is the most important thing.

I'll start boxing again soon, and gradually trim the flab from my gut hehehe.

Whats your training looking like at the moment?

I don't know. I doubt it'll be this year.. so much going on for me. If I can get a consistent run of (strength oriented) training together next year I SHOULD come close at least.

But hey, some years ago I was breaking 200lbs on the deadlift and thinking it was cool.. I'm in no huge hurry. lol.

My goal for this year is 4 plates ~400lbs, hip permitting. We'll see.
 

"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'm late in on this one... haven't been around here much lately - I'll explain...

Finished college in June last year, and was assimilated into the working world at the same time (transfered from intern to full time over the weeks that followed.) From there I lost a ton of time because of the new job, new house, new roommates, and the socializing/friendship building that came with that stuff.

New gym got in the way of the routine, as well as meeting everyone at work and getting to know them. Less time after work and during the day to peruse the board too ;)

Then was x-mas and all that, put on some lbs, and now I'm "dieting down" (I know you guys hate that hahaha...) to be able to fit in some shorts for summer.... What good is having clothes if they don't fit? It's ok to get bigger, but i was getting the wrong kinda bigger over the past months, and I didn't wanna encourage it by getting new clothes...

My strength has gone down, I peaked at some good workouts a few months before graduation (I got that 4 plate pull manuva :)).

Back into the grind, and I hope you guys are all doin well. I'll be stoppin by more often, gotta get back into reading around here, and tryin to help if I can.
