"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.

"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.

solid program, anything by IA will be awesome. if you can handle the higher frequency (some can't but most can raise their work capacity to allow for this) it will be make for great gains.

though squatting once in 10 days ain't enough for me, I wouldn't be able to wait that long. :D

Who is this Iron Addicts guy? I can't seem to find any info on him. What is his training background? Is he trying to keep his identity a secret?

You kidding? I've linked to his site in your journal at least a couple of times...

Yeah
Ok my bad :(

You don't get a life history or anything but if you go through a lot of atricles you get general information. I think he did 350x20 for squats at one point and he pulled a 643 deadlift at 43 having had a herniated disc. He knows his s***. From what I gather he started to get knowledgeable in his 30's which is why he was never a monster or anything.

30's dang. I guess I'm lucky to learn this stuff in my 20's. I am still a bit jealous of those who get to learn this stuff in their teens.

By the way, call him wesley, not IA.

*shakes fist @ quiksilver and quagmire*

What is the history of the IA forums. How did someone start out being just a random guy on the internet to becoming one of the most respected authorities in S&P and sport nutrition?

no special knowledge here, but it appears that when people train with IA, it produces results, hence his rep. Imagine that! somebody knows their ****, and can produce results, and ends up respected. it's almost too good to be true.

clearly they're all juicing. [/sarcasm]

yes it rotates every week.

you can also roate your lifts once in a whle, for example next week im gonna switch up incines with declines, and carry on with flatbb and flat db presses.

I'm gaining some decent mass aswell, if only my diet was better i reckon i'll get better results. I'll post some pics soon.
 

"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.
