"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.

I am thinking about trying this thing were you take 10 seconds up and 10 seconds down per rep. Does anyone have any good links or experience with this?
 

"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.

I've read about that sh1t in bb magazines, but I think it's pretty much BS. As long as you have a comfortable, controlled movement you should be fine.

what are you hoping to gain from this? previously you indicated you wanted to gain 45 lbs. of mass.... that will take a very, very long time, and right now you should be building a base, not mucking around with this sorta stuff.

Progressive resistance training and eating correctly is the only way to go Yake.

Stick to the basics and you can't go wrong - if you chop and change what you're doing constantly in regards to diet, training, exercises etc because you read a new article or heard about a 'new, cool workout', it's gunna hinder your results big-time.

Stick to a proven program that consists of mainly compound movements. Don't heave the weight up fast and there's no reason to go ultra-slow.. just controlled all the way up and down, not sticking or 'resting' at the top or bottom.

Stay away from bodybuilding magazine articles - they serve only as a distraction to someone who'se serious about putting a lot of mass on.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Ah. I got carried away there in my usual pre workout frenzy to find the "perfect routine" or something. I did, after all, stick to my basic compound medium speed routine, increased my reps and I felt great! That should teach me not to run after any new "philosophy" I find.

Oh, and now my goal is to gain 22 pounds. I don't really want to be huge anymore, and this is a lot more attainable.

People are too worried about time under tension. Load the bar. control it on the way down and bust your ass to get it up.

if you train your muscles that way your going to be one slow mother fker. I hope you don't play any sports if you plan on training that way.
