"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.

Hey guys just thought I'd post here as I've finnally resembled a good home gym.:yes: Been a number of years in the making but Now i can say I own-

Bench
squat rack
machine that includes: Peck deck, leg press, latpull downs and knee extensions (although I never use the last one)
2 sets of changeable dumbells
stationary bike
50kg punching bag
floor to ceiling speed ball
one spare barbell
Focus pads
6x20 kg plates
6x 10kg plates
2x5 kg plates
6x7.5 kg plates
8x 2.5 kg plates
2x 4 kg ankle weights
skipping rope
brand new set of running spikes also.


Feels like all I'm after now is a roman chair/ chinup bar. I do chinups however off the squat rack at the moment though so its still doable.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

What about micro plates? 1.25kg and 0.5kg.

Do you always add at least 5kg to the bar whenever you increase your weight?

Micro plates help when your progression starts to stall by enabling you to still increase your weight on the bar but by adding a smaller amount each time.

Yes.... I dont progress until being able to complete 4x5 with proper form on any of the compound lifts such as bench, squats and deadlifts.
 

"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.

Cool, I'd skip the roman chair and get a Glute Ham Raise instead. You can use it as a Reverse Hyper and both of these units are invaluable to anyone who is serious about training.

It is said that it is hard to put a price on health and well being but it is a lot easier to put a price on the means of getting healthy. If you can not afford the annual fees of health clubs or if you do not find the local gym timings suitable or if you simply prefer to work out in the privacy of your home you can acquire the home gym of your dreams.

It is said that its harder to put a amount on ones bloom and well-being, but it’s a lot easier to put a amount on the agency of accepting healthy! If you cant allow the six-figure anniversary fees of bloom clubs, or if you don't acquisition the bounded gym timings suitable, or if you artlessly adopt to plan out in the aloofness of your home, you can access the home gym of your dreams.
 

"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.
