Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Have the book and am just wondering how much weight (per week) should I expect to put on if I follow the programme to a t?

2 lbs?

Any guys here ever do the programme?

Thanks
 

"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.

I woudln't try to worry about how much weight you gain per week. Set a goal, say at the end of the summer, for a certain amount of weight you can gain. That's the way I did it, and I went from 150 to 180 my freshmen year of college. This wasn't the fatty freshmen gain, but muscle, as I lifted the entire time. Just set a larger goal, and it won't be as discouraging if you don't gain any weight a particular week! Good luck, it can be done.

If you have the book then just about every question you have will be answered in it. I'm on the program too BTW, coming up on the 6th week of the fat loss program. So far I have lost 14lbs of fat and gained 7.5lbs of muscle. I'm hoping that means I'll pack on some serious muscle when I switch to the mass gain program.

Anyway, in the end it doesn't matter because everyone is different. There was a guy on the skinnyguy forums who had to lift for more than a year to reach his goals, but in the end he went WAY farther than he ever thought he could. Then there are guys like Anthony Ellis who can gain 32lbs of muscle in 12 weeks. The point is you have to set a goal (example: reach 170lbs @ 9% bodyfat ) and then DO NOT QUIT UNTIL YOU REACH IT. That is the secret for success in anything, not just weightlifting.

The skinnyguy program is awesome though, definitely worth the money and it will get you the best/quickest results possible as long as you follow it. You will get out of it what you put in. Half ass effort = half ass results.

dlight, that's great man. 150-180 within a year- my new aim

ofcourse it does silver. the best way of looking at it is that if you have the mental ability to follow through on a goal such as bulking up, you have the mental ability for anything. - and you can look down on all of those weak guys who sit about all day doing nothing to improve their health

you also get a boost through the endorphins your body produces through working out. you'll feel more alive and happier and others will notice this new aura of energy around you.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
