"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.

Yeh remember my post about "critiques on my workout please"

Well its been now like 2 1/2 weeks and guess what my six pack is already poppin' out even my female cousins couldnt keep staring when i flashed it.
My arms are also developing and my whole upper body is almost where i want it to be at.

Man thats why getting cut is not as hard as most of u people think i knew that it was gonna work and it is.

Simply with round 50 push ups a day
100 sit ups a day
And curls with freeweights im almost there.

Man and yall wassaying that no it wont work bla bla blah.

oh and i gotta point out that i aint do no diet at all i just started to drink a lot of water and left the soda and alcohol alone, all i drink now is only milk water and juice.
 

"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.

Damn, you might have stumbled upon something revolutionary if you're looking that good after two and a half weeks!

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Initial gains are the fastest by far. Enjoy it while it lasts!



BTW, you want to lift heavy and keep your reps under 8.

So what you're saying is that in the beginning you'll see quick results be overall you'll see the results be more spaced out later on? Pray-Tell?

You hit plateaus later on, and progress slows down.


This is also true for lifting strength, such as with the bench. You might find yourself stuck at 200 for a couple months, while you were previously packing on the poundage weekly.
 

"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.

I was assuming you were quite jacked when you said your whole upper body was nearly where you wanted it to be at.

That's great. As long as your happy with how you look that's all that matters.

Getting cut is just a matter of dieting (reducing calorie consumption below calorie expenditure). I don't think anyone here would dispute that you can achieve a low fat level without heavy weight lifting. What is hard is to get "cut" with large muscles instead of "cut" with just small muscles. To be large and cut not just small and cut you need heavy lifting beyond just body weight exercises like push ups. (The term large is off course a relative term).


Simply with round 50 push ups a day
100 sit ups a day
And curls with freeweights im almost there.
You may well achieve a descent looking body with that work out. You may achieve your typical men's fashion clothes model look with that workout but you won't look like a competative body builder (not even a natural one) with that workout. Once your muscles have adapted to the size and strength they need to be at to do that 50 push up a day work out there is simply no need for them to keep growing and they wont.

If your happy with the level of musculature that you get with your 50 push up a day work out then that is great. There is no need for you to get bigger than that if you don't want to.

Some of us however literally want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger (in his prime) or the current reigning Mr Olympia Ronnie Coleman (perhaps because we suffer from biggorexia?). Anyway that is what I refer to when I am talking about "large muscles". You won't get larger muscles like that just doing push ups. (Actually you'll need great genes and a lot of steroids too).

The point being the muscle size that you will achieve with weights (without steroids) is much greater than you'll achieve with just pushups. If your happy with what you can achieve with just pushups then that is great. Many of us want to go beyond that level though.


Man and yall wassaying that no it wont work bla bla blah.
Actually it is probably more likely that they just overestimated the physique that you were looking for. (Being bigorexics like me they probably thought you were asking how to become riduclously big rather than just fit looking). But if your happy with what you got then 'more power to ya'.

There's no way you can achieve a typical "men's fashion model look" with that routine. Unless you're referring to Abercrombie models.
