"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I joined the local gym last week. As I'm now trying to improve myself in every aspect, I found this to be a great idea.

I'm 6.2 feet tall (i converted, as in my country we use meters. I'm 1,90m tall, hehe). 182.6 lbs (83kg).

Here, all the gyms use to do an avaliation of your body, to see your fat levels and so on. Then they make a set for you.

But my set isn't even close to the DIESEL's guide. Most exercises are like 15 reps X 2 sets.

And there's cardio too! 30min of it, walking at 6km/h.

I'm not scrawny. I become fat without THAT effort. I was fat two months ago. Then I cut all the junk food and carbonated soda, then I started to lose fat.

The guy there said I'm on the limiar between average and fat, on the fat side. I look much better than I did some time ago, but there's much work to be done.

Should I stick with DIESEL's program and get rid of the workout they prescribed me?

cheers,
djbr (your brazilian friend! :p)
 

"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.

Yeah, people here say I can't gain mass and lose fat together. But the guy at my gym said EXACTLY this! Crazy...

I want to build muscles. So I should throw away everything and stick with DIESEL's program, right?

2x15 is to allow for anatomical adaptation, it allows your tendons and ligaments to prepare for heavier lifting later, it usually lasts a 2-3 weeks. after that then you get into heavier weight with less reps and more sets.

just be patient, otherwise you might get injured if you do to much too soon. Just ask your trainer, I'm sure he would be glad to explain.
