"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Wednesday's workout

Squats 2*5 @ 235lbs PR
1*20 @ 140lbs PR - hardest set of my life, i was blasting some Static-X on my mp3 so I couldn't hear myself breathing during the set, but as soon as I took them off I was breathing like I ran a marathon.
1 set of calf raises.

Pretty short but intense.

I'll be hitting the gym tomorrow.

Take care.

By the way took my shirt off outside today during soccer game, the girls were loving it. Hard work always pays off :up:
Good work. What conditioning work are you doing apart from the football?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Quag to be honest I dont do a lot of conditioning.
But I'm very active and often play short pick-up soccer games, walk to the grocery store and back ( 2 miles ), go to classes ( walk ), etc.

Up to you if you want to add in another 2-3 sessions of lower intensity stuff.

But lets be honest- 20 reppers get anyone gassed.

Good stuff, especially pwo :D.

I want to see 300+ for 5 next time, you got it ? :cool:
 

"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.

Well I was thinking of switching workouts, maybe to Wendel's 5/3/1 or to IA's simple powerlifting workout that Stallion recommended. But my workouts are good these days and I'm making pretty good progress, so I might wait a few weeks.

:yes: You wait until the gains stop for a 2-3 week period, then it is time to make a change. And that's if nutrition,rest, etc, are on point.
 

"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.

Hey guys,

Todays workout sucked. Didnt eat much, I have one exam left on Saturday so diet and sleep aren't on line. I'm flying back home Monday. I'm thinking about doing the gallon of milk a day diet for a bit, maybe half gaTllon to start, and monitoring bf. My bf is probably around 10% right now, well I dont know how to judge, but abs are half-showing not flexed, and showing when flexed. I just want to pack on lots of muscle during the 2-3 month period when it's gonna be just boring work/hometown.

Today's WO:

DB Bench : 9@70 8@70
Incline - skipped not enough energy..
Shoulder Press : 10@45 8@ 45 PR?
2 sets of triceps pulldowns.

Until next time. FB

Hey guys,

Just got back home yesterday, exams are over, I'll be working construction + lifting weights + some soccer once/twice a week. Welcome to the good life :D
Wish I could be playing football though, but I'll focus on gaining muscle.

Today's workout:

DLs 2*5 @ 305lbs PR
2 sets of curls
2 sets of rows

Diet today:

Slept in till 10.. gotta be more strict
Also I'm adding 2L of milk/day for now. See how my skin reacts, if my acne gets worse I'll stop.
I'll also be eating 500g of beef/day + some chicken + loads of pasta/rice + 3 big shakes. Weight should be going up :D

Take care.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

What's going on guys?

Ya it's been a while, took 2 months off this summer just to live life and party, went back to the homeland ( France ), where 6'0 175lbs is considered big btw, and just partied my ass off with friends and family..
Awesome times, I was at one point on a 3 week drinking streak, and funny thing is, my body weight bf% weren't that affected, well I did lose some muscle mass though, I came back at 174lbs.

So I'm back, ready to hit the weights and the food hard. I'm dropping drinking to once a week ( try my best anyways hehe )
I'll be doing Rippetoe + GOMAD for a month to get to 185lbs, then I'll switch up to IA's powerroutine or Wendel's 5/3/1.

Diet will be like this :

Meal 1 - 200g ground beef/ 200 g pasta
Meal 2 - 1 l milk 2 scoops whey
Meal 3 - 200g ground beef / 200 g pasta
Meal 4 - 1 l milk 2 scoops whey
Meal 5 - tuna + olive oil
Meal 6 - finish up the remaining 2 litres then hit up the sheets..

Ya that's gonna be a lot of calories, I'm expecting a 2/3% increase in bf% this month, but eh it's probably at 9/10% right now so no big deal.

I'll be posting a lot.

Take care, FB

Look forward to following your progress
 

"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.
