"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.

Never done them myself but your meant to put your arm more central and spread your legs out really far which helps support you.

"The Naked Warrior" can be your guide

Doing 100 pushups doesn't mean you are very strong at all. First you will have to start with higher-intensity pushups.

Try doing ones with your legs elevated to make them harder.

Along with those, start doing one handers where you make the movement easier, such as leaning against a kitchen counter to give you more leverage.

Gradually add tougher moves until you can start doing one-handed negatives(come down as slow as possible).

Then in time you will be able to do a one hander

For the balance part, just make sure to tense up your entire body, especially at your abdomen

Start with doing the elevated-feet puhsups and also bring your hands closer to work the triceps more. These should be quite challenging

You have to spread your legs, turn your torso in the opposite direction of the arm you are pushing up with, and make sure to keep your legs and torso ridgid. Your arm has to be almost directly under you.

I still do those, although not as part of my resistance training. Try doing 1 armed on fingertips. THAT is hard as hell.
 

"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.

Apparently the hardest pushup is where you do a one hand pushup and as you come up you clap:D
