"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.

Anyone try either of these programs? I'm leaning toward the Insanity program because I'm concerned about my cardiovascular fitness and also my flexibility. I also heard when you do P90X, they automatically start sending you creatine and other stuff, which I don't really want.

I'm 24 years old, 5'8", 145lbs. Ever really had to watch what I eat; I've been skinny my whole life. I would say my target weight is about 170. I don't think I would want to be bigger than 180. I like playing basketball, but hadn't played in while. When I was about 16 I could grab rim, but now I can't. My main fitness goal is to be able to dunk. I know it will take a long time, but I think I'm up for the challenge.

The Insanity DVD's seemed like a good fit because the infomercial talked a lot about the plyometrics and flexibility excercises. I figured I could do the 60 days, then possibly go through the full 60 days a second time while wearing a weighted vest.

Also once you finish the program, do you just start the program over, or are there different exercises? Any help would be appreciated.
 

"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.

Your goals are to be able to dunk and weigh in the 170-180lb range?

To dunk you need strength, and to gain muscle you need strength. Do Rippetoe's program and you will reach your goals quickly.

I don't have a car right now, so I can't go to a gym. That is the main thing holding me back.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Don't expect to gain a lot of muscle and strength without proper equipment. I suggest you buy a power cage, a 7ft barbell and weights. It will be a very good investment.
