"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"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.

You need to work your core more
* Overhead Squats
* Overhead Press
* Overhead walks
* One Arm Snatch
* Heavy Squats
* Heavy Deadlifts

Once you've got that, you'll abs will be thick as brick. You'll probably won't need to diet a lot, you don't seem to have a lot of bodyfat.

What you need is training heavy.

i wasn't training heavy, my goal was to burn as much body fat as i could i've lost 10 kilos in 3 months, with bidaily workouts, lots of cardio.

my weight was 83 kilograms = 182 pounds

now is 73 kilograms = 160 pounds

my height is 1.74 m = 5.70

all in all i lost 10 kilos


i think its good. but i dont want to bulk up, just want to have a lean body, with some definition and the six pack abs showing.

This is perfect for you, www.fitnessmadesimple.com


You can go for the lean body, or bulky body, depending how much weight you use. Check out success stories if it's something you want.


Secret for my abs to show was not to use machines, but do manual exercises. Plus small portion lean diet with lots of lean proteins. I mention it here



Stronglifts stuff will work well too for big abs. Because it's done using free weights. People who use machines usually don't have definition, even at low body fat.

Six pack == muscles
If you want to see muscles, you first need to developped them.

That's what training hard is for.
