"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.

How low are them squats? 315 x 8 is stout if it was all the way down. :D
With my thighs parallel to the floor. I can't yet get "ass to grass" because of the strain on my back.

How low is too low?
 

"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.

no such thing.

do some hip stretches to increase your flexibility. your joints will thank you when you start taking those squats lower than parallel.

here's your weight routine (done M-W-F but change the days as you like to suit you)

MON
Squats 2x6, 1x15-20
Good Mornings 2x10-15
Reverse Hyper or Pullthrough 2x10-15
Adductor/Abductor 1x15-20 (do both machines, they will help out your hips)
Weighted Abs 2x10-20

WED
Incline Bench 2x6
Flat DB Bench 2x10-12
DB Shoulder Press 3x10-12
Pushdowns 3x10-12

FRI
Deadlifts 1x5, 1x10
Rows 3x10-12 (alternate with assisted chins)
Cable or DB Curls 3x10-12
Hammer Curls 2x10-12 (or grip work if you need it)
Weighted Abs 2x10-20

The exercises and rep ranges have been chosen bearing in mind your age to help protect and prepare your joints.

Pick this up next gym day and let's start putting some quality meat on you. ;)

meal 2 - ground chuck with whole baby okra, squash and red peppers.

meal 3 - 3 or 4 tablespoons.


Warboss, I will start the program tomorrow.

On the interim days is cardio allowed?

And the "trainers" at Golds are nothing but narcissistic c0cks. So I'm pretty much on my own until my buddy decides whether or not he's going to jump the shark and join. Some of the stuff you have me doing I have no idea what the fvck they are.

I also pay extremely close attention to form ESPECIALLY on squats.

keep cardio as it is for now, do some every day, except leg day. 45 mins on offdays, 30 mins if post training OR 45 mins at another time of day

don't do cardio before weights in the same session!

Which ones don't you understand? You can find them all with a quick google search.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Karma, great job on the blood sugar levels, and the squats. Quick question...Have you added deadlifts to your workout? Also, are you taking a good, high-quality, multivitamin every day?

Good morning: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/GluteusMaximus/BBBentKneeGoodMorning.html

If your gym doesn't have a hyper machine (ask the staff) then do pullthroughs:
http://www.weighttrainersunited.com/pullthrough.html

the adductor/abductor are those machines the girls sit at and open and close their legs. again, ask the staff and they'll show you them.

Dude (dennyaberg), your clearly overweight, out of shape, and trying to sell us some crazy diet thing.

Sure, you seem to have some very basic knowledge of nutrition, but the couple of internet articles you read does not make you an authority on the subject or qualified to preach on the subject.

Probably best to leave it to the pros (Alex, Quik, effort, etc) and you can do your own thing.

Good stuff by the way Karma. By doing it this way (keeping a log), your avoiding alot of the pitfalls a fell into going it alone, back when I was there.

drop all those burgers even if your eating them with out buns
its all crap :trouble: :trouble: :trouble: :trouble: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Denny what on earth are you talking about? Karma is doing great, please don't come in this thread or any other thread posting crap like that. Have you even be reading this thread? He needs to be eating a good amount of fat its really important. Eating just eggs and nuts isn't going to give him the fat he needs.

Thanks bud, but my name shouldn't be listed yet with these two guys. Mabye in a few years, but right now I'm still green. :)

what's more, Karma is feeling great, lost 6lbs in his first week and his blood sugar is under control...
Really?

That's fantastic. Make sure you're drinkin lots of water though, a couple of the 6 lbs might be fluid loss.

Other than that, keep doing what you're doing and try to do one thing better each week.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I'll hit the gym at 0500. Probably light cardio. My arms are sore from working out and the new ink is still healing.

My blood sugar:

It continues to stabilize but now and again it drops real fast and real hard.

Two evenings ago it dropped to a dangerous 59. There was candy all over from Halloween but I didn't bite. I had a banana and some peanut butter. Took a little longer to recover but I felt better. I don't want junk anymore. No bread, no rice, no pasta (even the low carb). Nothing.

For all of you brothers who are in my spot and stage in life:

START A FVCKING JOURNAL!​

It will enhance your mindset and provide structure and discipline. It keeps me accountable for what I do and what goes in my piehole.

This is going on my third week of low (very low) to no carb living and it truly does get much more livable the more your mentality adjusts.

I love it.
