"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.

To reiterate my sordid history:
<2005>Fractured neck, broken ribs, subdural hematoma, lacerated organs...coma

Since 2006, worked my way up, now I'm BP/DL/Squatting 160lbs. I'm 5'6", 150lbs...

I work out at home and adding plates each set is a pain in the a$$.

Is it a big deal that I leave 160lbs on and simply increase the reps for leg exercises? I know I could DL and squat well into the 200's but I resist cause I'm too lazy to move plates back and forth :confused:

I see you guys DLing 300lbs and I suspect I could have pushed that by now, but I'm more concerned with my own development over pure numbers.

It this a big deal?
 

"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.

There is no correct way of working out,it all about different strokes for different fokes.

Yes you are 42,you need to push yourself the hardest you can,you aren't getting any younger. You aren't a teenager anymore take advantage anything available to you,creatine,multi-vitamin,whey protein anything short of steroids.
