"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.

full body workouts are what constitutes strongman training, so i plan to do a lot of them in the strongman style.

"Lets try to pretend for a minute we're actually intelligent people here. Elaborate. Tell me why."

first of all i will pretend you didnt just call me stupid, if that is what you were getting at.

second it is just personal preference

i find that when you do a full body workout, you will not be able to hit everything with an adequate amount of sets and energy for optimal growth (for me becuase at this point this is what im used to). they take much too long if i were to do the same amount of sets if i were to make it equal to waht i would normally do.

putting legs and upper body together is a killer, especially if you are doing squats, deads, bench, or what ever you want to do. i truly feel that a split is necessary.

of course this is my opinion, i havnet lifted that long, getting close to 2 years now, but for me a full body workout has never worked as well as anyhting else.

Refer to my first post in this thread.

Then come back and tell me why a full body workout would 'suck' for a newbie lifter.

a fully body workout is best done with 2-3 sets and 1-2 exercises per bodypart, and only 2-3 workouts per week, also using as little failure as possible
 

"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.
