"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.

For the gym bros, which one of these do you run and why?

I first hit the gym right after high school on and off, but didn't stick with it. Over the pandemic I had a medical issue and a back injury which caused significant weight loss. Following that I got myself back in shape and to a healthy weight and have been consistent ever since. I did a weighted calisthenics routine for about 5 months with some added compound lifts in there (Bench,Bent row, deadlift/squat, ohp) and saw great results and can now do a planche with paralettes.

Now I'm focused on putting on some mass and getting heavy up on my core lifts. I moved into a PPL routine, but just didn't dig it. Felt odd to not hit more muscles groups since I was so used to full body work and don't think I 'need' ppl yet. I went on to full body 3x a week following a 5x5 not to dissimilar to strong lifts. That said I'm considering doing an upper lower split which I've not done before. I feel like that might be a good middle ground? I'd rather get in the gym more as I find it therapeutic and I currently recover really fast.
 

"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.

Do whatever feels best and is most enjoyable and sustainable for you long term. I don't really think routines matter that much, what matters more is consistency and what you do outside of the gym.

PPL 6x per week resting Saturdays, because it fits my lifestyle/needs.

My consistency has been great, I've become completely addicted to lifting like I used to running. Diet is a challenge for me and I have to force feed to get in my calories. I'm one of those guys that is constantly lean and was a rail as a kid
