"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.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Aim for a weight that is comfortable for you. As you build strength you will find it doesn't tax you any more then you just increase the weight.

I'm 6'4 and 220lbs and I'm only training with a maximum of 50lbs dumbells and a 100lbs barbell. I'm lifting a lot less weight than many guys, but I've been seeing some rapid muscle growth so I'm in no rush to increase the weight.

It's not how much you can lift, it's the exercises you do. Stick with heavy compound exercises. Like deadlifts, squats, bench presses, military presses, etc... Aim for 4-8 reps 8-12 i you are just starting out.

Make sure you follow the diet in DIESELs guide, workout and diet is like yin and yang.
