"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.

OK, for every 20 or so workouts that leave me feeling on top of the world and unbeatable, there is maybe one that is just a ****ing utter epic failure...ie, this morning. There is nothing like being unable to put up the bar up on a bench press to make your testicles shrivel up and totally kill your concentration.

And I have to wait a full damn week to make it right again. I'm so tempted to just to do it again tomorrow but that is my ego talking. Failure sucks.
 

"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.

Every single person who trains will have an off day every now and again. I remember when I was younger if I didn't increase the weight on every single exercise, every single day that I trained, I thought that I had a sh!t session. But you can't think like this, even if you only increase weight on one of your 5 exercises you have made progress. With weight training it is a long journey of pain, suffering, sweat & hard work. Just keep your head in the game and never get discouraged. And always give it 110%, always.

Yeah man, thanks for the response. That was my bloggish vent yesterday at a really ****ty work out. I also did hit a small PR of 295 on my deadlift (my short term goal being 300). It wasn't a complete loss, but human nature is what it is...sometimes you focus on the negative at the expense of the positive. My perspective is much better today :rockon:

Thing is I've been benching 200 comfortably for about a month and I thought 205 should be a cinch, but something didn't click...I'm convinced my failed attempt was easily about 95% mental.
