"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.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.

"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.
