"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.

Is it true that you need to change how you lift every so often in order to keep gaining strength?
 

"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 do, however, have to switch up the exercises you do every month or so if you're trying to grow your muscles.

It's a badly-kept secret.
Fiction.

Your muscles aren't as smart as many people give them credit for. Doing a machine curl instead of a barbell curl won't *shock* your muscle into growing. It will hardly even notice the difference. The only think you'd be doing is isolating your bicep more by doing a machine curl (not good in my opinion).

Generally, don't chop and change exercises.

Only change them occassionally to stay motivated.

You don't need to change up exercises to keep growing, I find it helps me to change the excerises adn their order as well with the amount of reps and sets I do. It's all about what works best for you though. Just experiment and see what works, the same stuff doesn't work for everyone.

Yeah, if you want to shock, it's best to do it by upping reps for a couple workouts, or by taking a week off.

...

I beleive changing your workout helps in a variety of different ways....

every now and then change the order of exercises, the exercises themselves, the reps you're shooting for, and the sets....

it's just something different, i notice gains in myself with a switch things up a bit.

Running and varying your workouts are the perfect solution to most fitness problems.
