"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.

So i was in the gym yesterday, working hard as usual. It just so happens on i was completeing my 4th set of 5x5 squats with 275lbs. So i notice during my break, a couple of new guys to the gym, and low and behold one of them is the rookie cop that busted me a couple months back and suspended my license( he was a real D1CKHEAD, to say the least).

They notice me working hard on my squats, as they were working hard on their curls, lol. So yea, as you can imagine they are bigger than me, and stroll over, the cop looks me up and down, smiles, and asks if he could knock a set out. So i know he's just trying to show me up, so I'm like 'okay, guy, have at it'.

So he gets under the bar and unracks it, and surprise surprise, mr. dognut diet, can't hanlde the weight and slowly begins to sink. Now I don't help, instead i watch as his buddies grab each end of the bar and have to pull it off him.

So then, they help him rerack it. And what do i do? I said 'fvuck it' and threw on 20lbs. They are like, "your adding more weight?"..I didn't answer, And busted out my last (painfull) 5 reps. You should have seen the look on their face.

Now, mr. dognut diet is getting ragged on by his buddies, cuz me and my 5'8 160lb just out squatted him. Then, they come up to me and nicely say, 'thats alot of weight', to which i reply, 'don't sweat it, I have a bigger d1ck than you, so i can lift more'. Hollyshiettt, they turned red, cause there was a cutie next to us, and just walked away.. I suppose I'm gonna get pulled over soon, but i think it was worth it?

Just a gym rant, lol.

I lift in my basement, not to many stories there, i lifted without a spotter on bench once and almost died. Thats about all I got.
 

"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.

I work out in my garage with a bench and punching bag, and a treadmill, and i remember when i was starting, i tried to bench a lot of weight, and realized it was too much after i took it down, and was like trapped alone under it.. After a minute or so of me getting worried i managed to prop up a side, and roll out of it.. So much to learn about working out without my trainer.

The guys with the home gyms are lucky in retrospect. You don't have to sit and wait for some metro to bang out his 4 sets of curls on the squat rack. Or watch the 'hardcore metro' who can't bench 155lb, throw on 185lb, unrack, move it 2 inches, then rerack, and call that a rep.

How much do you bench?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

People who lay down on equipment, get up, and the equipment is soaked in their sweat and they dont clean it.

Lets not forget the dumba$$ women... I was benching once, as part of a circuit, left to go some crunches, which is the 2nd in the circuit...But i left my weight racked on the bar, i placed my towel on the bench laid out; this woman goes over takes my towel and throws in on the floor and proceedes to go her flys on the bench..So i just walked over and stood over her until she asked me what my problem was, which i directly indiciated...

:mad: Another one: Spying the squat rack during the peak hours; you wait and wait for the squat rack to empty, and finally, the guy grabs his towel and leaves; just then, a fat SOB who works out like, probably 1 once a month, arrives at the squat rack ahead of you.
lol, and then does curls... How about the guy that only squats 100lbs, when he weighs 180, and then talks about how much he trains his legs; and on top of that, tries to give you advice.

For me the worst is when you're all pumped up and doing a heavy set of either squats, bench, or any other heavy body work out, you're extremely focused and then some douche bag interrupts you in the middle and asks "how many more sets do you have"
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
