"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.

I dont know if this was brought up on this forum yet but here is a great documentary about an average joe getting into contest shape

I highly advise you to watch this, it's about 85 mins long and packs a ton of information and inspiration

the best part is at 8:30 about training


for those who think it's impossible and those who are discouraged.
 

"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.

Thanks for posting this! I've been trying hard to find this documentary for a while.

I'm currently bulking for a show later this year, and man, sometimes its tough to stay consistent with all the other things in life. I'm a little worried about the dieting phase... but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Bodybuilding is an expensive and brutal "hobby", but at this point in my life, its the only way I can take my physique to the next level.

the "expertise" wasnt really all that

he showed him proper form
gave him a typical split
drew up a basic diet focusing on calorie reduction

all of those things can be easily be done!

now, finding the will-power to consume 1300 calories is really tough
