"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.
the max-ot programme says that calories to remain the same weight = weight(lbs) * .42 * 24
and calories to bulk is weight(lbs) * .65 * 24
i've posted all the nutritional info on the first page of this journal. it does seem like it's saying you shouldn't eat all that much (compared to diesels guide anyway), but i think this is how you gain maximum muscle while putting on as little fat as possible. with diesel's guide, fat gain is inevitable
Anyways... I hope you break that 70 kg wall.
"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.

bicep day is tomorrow but i'm working in the morning, coming home at 6 and going out drinking at 10, so its not a good day for it. i'm thinking sunday afternoon for it now, which would mean sunday's my starting day for the gym instead of mondays. well, that's how it has to work.
i think my biceps are doing fine without the bicep-specific exercises though because of the lat pulldowns and chinups; even though they don't target my biceps, they keep them pumped up

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
chest and abs
bench press
----------
i need some advice on this warmup routine - i think i was too tired when it came to the last two bench sets. initially i had planned to go for 70kg, which is why i started at 40, but i really should have started at 30kg if i was going for 65.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
