"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Search for a program called Air Alert. Its all plyometrics designed to increase leg power so you can jump higher, sprint a little faster, etc. I did it for basketball and it was crazy how much I gained on my vertical in just the first month.

“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.

Try running in water that is waist level.

Well considering the demands of the 40 yard dash, he's gonna want all of those things. He needs, power so he can get moving immediately, quick acceleration so he get up to speed and good top end speed, of course.

Power is very, very important for the 40, so lots of heavy lifting and plyos are essential.

I think your standard stuff should take care of it though. Pulling sleds, heavy lifting and accelerations are all great.

But with all that said, I think the football 40 is way overrated. Many of the hand times are pretty inaccurate and I don't think the 40 is specific enough to the game. If you really want to improve your football game, I strongly suggest that you sprint in track. The 100, 200 and 400. Your overall conditioning and speed will be a lot better by the end of it.

Yeah, and why don't you just talk to your coach about it? I'm sure he could provide some workouts for you.

I have to agree with Adam. Track work with your track team will help to improve your running and football performance. 4.6 is actually pretty good speed, so you have a great base to start from.

Heavy lifts do help out. Try with your basic compound lifts, squats (explode on the positives), cleans, etc. Do give plyometrics a shot with things such as squat jumps, burpees and frog hops up hills (steeper the more challenging). These are great anaerobic drills and your sport is very anaerobic.

Jump squats with weighted chains are the best for explosiveness. We did a combination of plyometrics, jump squats and sleds in training before baseball this season and I increased my speed A LOT. Our trainer was a psycho though he had half the team throwing up. Hahaha, good times....
 

"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.

Weightlifting and powerlifting is where it's at.
ben johnson is said to have squatted 600 pounds while weighing under 180 with no special equipment. http://youtube.com/watch?v=NbgOexlHC-U

If you don't have the amount of fast twitch muscle fibre required, your training will produce limited results.

I know it helped me immensely.

i've got my hands on some free version of air alert called air alert 3 or something, does this differ from 1 and 2? if so can you post up or link me access to those respective programs? Also another thing, does this kill your legs? I'd imagine i'd have to lay off the leg workouts at the gym if i do air alert so i havent started it yet but would love some comments in regards to this.

I used air alert 3 when I did it. The first couple weeks aren't too bad, you should be able to do leg days like usual. Week 7 or so you will probably have to lay off in the gym on legs. I'd say by week 11 you will probably want to drop your leg days in the gym if you're serious about the air alert. But once you finish it and go to maintenance stage, which I think is repeating week 8 again and again, you should be able to continue your leg workout in addition to the program.
