"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.

If diet is as important as we think, then how do prisoners get so big?

You know those big prison inmates who spend all their time lifting weights... well, I was wondering, those guys don't have supplements/drugs/advanced diets.... they get 3 crappy meals which may include major food groups but come on... its basic stuff and not quality. So how do these guys get so big and buff?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

They don't burn as many calories as we do, since they sit in cells all day instead of going out and doing stuff? I don't know...

Because three meals is a day if you eat enough at each meal, although spreading it out will give you better results, which is why the 5 meal per day idea is advocated.

I'm not sure on this but I heard that at one point Arnold was so busy training, traveling, and meeting with people that he only ate one or two massive meals a day, one of them right after his workout. It's not as easy for your body, but it can work.

actually, they get protein powders the same way they get titty mags etc. there's always a guy that can get you sh!t on the inside.

also man, most inmates are pretty big when they go into prison to begin with.
 

"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.

Plus there's an incentive to get big and strong. If a guy doesn't pump iron somebody is going to pump him!

I think fatality makes a good point. to be honest i was wondering IF inmates really do get that big. I cant say with any confidence either way. If they do then its becuase they are working outside the system to get food, but more than likely to get drugs

You also gotta consider the fact that a lot of those institutional meals are also high in fat, starch, and calories. I worked at a mental hospital for a number of years and it's the same thing, you'll see guys come in weighing 150lbs and 6 months later they'll be 180 or 190.
 

"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.

yeah... the food that they get has all the vitamins etc that they need for their body... most prisons isn’t like they show in the movies where they get a small piece of bread to eat as a meal, they get meals that have stuff put in them in order to give the prisoners all the nutrients that their body needs to keep healthy and strong.

Sleep is just as important as diet in bulking. They have a mandatory 8 hours per night.

A buddy of mine who looks like a German experiment says, "Eat big, sleep big, lift big."

Of course, he also says, "Die young, die strong, DiAnabol."

Diet is NOT that important - contrary to popular belief.

Supplements, protein powder etc. etc. etc..... who sells these things? hmmm companies. Advertised in magazines, promoted by bodybuilders.

Sounds like a great money making billion dollar industry to me.

Think of your work out as a ferrari

and you as the driver...

put cheap leaded fuel into it n it wont work

5 star on the other hand will make it run sweet...

eat lots of quality high protein n high carb food.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

This in part is why it costs tens of thousands of dollars per year to house inmates. It's hard to believe that they are actually given better care than the homeless.

Just something to think about.

It is a matter of perception that they want us to believe: in movies inmates should be big, a clerk should wear glasses, a secretary should be a sexy blonde...
I fyou watch some olde movies fro 20s-60s, you won't find any big inmates... just tall maybe and probably strong. Now, in the era of Arni, inmates should be not only strong, but also big.
This is what mass media feed us.

Anyway, certainly if they are big it is not due to their "advanced" diet if we are talking about most of them.
