"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 Have 22% Bodyfat? NO WAY.

I just bought Anthony Ellis' package and measured my bodyfat to see what routine I'd be picking...either to gain mass or reduce bodyfat.

I'm 6'2" 170 lbs, and by all known standards, that is still skinny. I barely bench 135 and can almost see my ribs. Yet the plastic caliper and 9-point bodyfat formula he has says I have 22% bodyfat, and I should reduce it to like 10% before trying to build lean mass. According to him, 25% is considered obese.

Uh...170 lbs at my height? Nearly obese?

His method seems contrary to everything I've read on this board regarding bulking up first before cutting.

Does anyone see the logic here? I must be missing something.
 

"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.

um, I would say you messed up. Besides I don't really think you can self-test body fat with calipers and be totally accurate.

Go to a gym, and have someone who does it regularly do it.

Do you move the slider back every time? Do a search on the skinny guy forums, a lot of people mess up their measurements with the calipers.
 

"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.

inaccurate bodyfat measuring systems

i have some terraillon electronic bodyfat measuring scales or so they claim to be. they supposedly send and electric pulse through the body and use the time it takes to go up and back down throw it along with your age height and weight to calculate your bodyfat. i don't believe i have 28% bodyfat. i got a lot of lean muscle mass and look pretty ripped. by the navy bodyfat measuring system of just using measurements such as at the neck, navel and your age i'm only 15%. that seems more reasonable but considering all the muscle mass i have i bet even that is higher than actuality.

Thanks for the site, chim_chim. mybodycomp.com gave me a 10.05% rating. That sounds far more likely given my build.

Safari can you see your abs? If not, 10% is probably a little low. It seems off for someone at 6'2" 170 with a max bench of 135.

I can see them but am by no means ripped.

Just did another measurement today at 12.4%. Apparently I'm having trouble taking consistent measurements.

"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.
