"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
 

"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 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.
