"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Squat 6x100 kg 220 lbs
Squat 6x100 kg 220 lbs
Squat 2x100 kg ******* interupted my set.
Squat 4x100 kg 220 lbs

I can probably do more, but we don't have a squat rack at my gym, so I stop when it gets somewhat heavy. Did them with great form for the first time, I usually get really shaky at 100 kg.

SLDL alotx70 154 lbs
SLDL alotx70 154 lbs
SLDL alotx75 165 lbs

worked on form because I have hurt my back on this exercise before. Can probably pull 100 kg on sldl too.


Military press 7x40 kg 88 lbs
Military press 8x35 kg 77 lbs
Military press, don't remember this one

can't seem to do them right.

Upright rows 7x35 kg
Upright rows 5x35 kg

standing Calves raises 12x90 kg 198 lbs
standing Calves raises 10x100 kg 220 lbs
standing Calves raises 6x95 kg 209 lbs

Seated calves raise 7x142 kg 312 lbs

Did without shoes so I couldn't go hardcore because it hurts like hell.

Weight: we'll see on saturday ;)
 

"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.

Don't be fooled by it... sometimes it can be very bad and talk **** behind my back, bad childhood you know, people always tossing it around :D

nah, it's gotten a little stronger, I think triceps is one off my strongest muscles in comparison to my others. I like the close grip exercise very much, always leaves me sore. Combined with dips it's really a killer.

Anyways, it's been a while... how's your training going?

ohhhhh what a poor close grip bench *cuddle*:D

I think for me it's the other way my breast is stronger than my triceps, at least it looks so.

Well, when you remember I stopped training because of roaccutane....well it got better with time and I restarted training 2weeks ago.
But couldn't go hardcore because I was kinda ill and I still have no real eating plan.

I have to say life went really downhill since I had to stop working out. It all fit together, but for the worse. First stopped training and tanning, than stopped taking protein, than restarted eating sw33t choclates and pizza, than restarted downloading p0rn and...., than restarted smoking because I couldn't handle my personal x-mas, than restarted being desperate for girls/pvssy and also restarted being too scared to approach, restarted caring much what others think, lost much dominance and aggressivness, because of that lost confidence and self esteem, and because of that finally lost the happiness I had achieved after YEARS of effort - most(of course not all) improvements were GONE.

That got me wondering because compared with other people my body seems to be much more sensitive to these kind of stuff. But what works for other people doesn't help me. I need a healthy lifestyle. And I need a big aim that I want really really bad - and that is a muscular body(and I mean muscular not unnatural steroid pumped bodybuilding figure, though I have respect for their big dedication to weight lifting). So I asked myself do I just want it? But also don't want to abstain from the short pleasures like drinking, much socializing,etc? Than I will always just have an average body(okay in times of fast food and not doing sports it's above average lol). Or do I want it THAT bad that I will do almost everything to achieve it. And genetically disadvantaged and steroids only as an last resort I WILL HAVE TO GIVE EVERYTHING I CAN. Do I want it so bad that I will cut my social life down? Do I want it so bad that I will spend all my money for food? I reflected about that for a while. Average life has it's pleasures. But that shorttime pleasures are nothing against the feeling of being a man on a mission and having an incredible big ****. If you dedicate yourself to an aim that YOU choose, things like girl problems can't bring you down. Your are no match-ball that other people can kick around because you have a mission to accomplish and no time for bullsh1t. At the weekend I was begged/told to go out and get drunken, insulted as being a loser not going out, had been offered rides and stuff. But I resisted(it was very hard) and preferred staying at home to eat, sleep, read and play some online game. Yup, if I wasn't so cool I would be a nerd.


I need big goals that keep me going so my first aim is 75kg/165lb's at beginning of may.
My stats before 2 weeks were 63,5kg/140lb's, my current stats are 65kg/144lb's. The hard part will be 70kg++. But even if I have to gain some fat I will not care, I will just cut down after I reached around 80kg. I think high bodyfat levels are easily cut down without losing muscle mass, the hard part is only from flat stomach to six pack. And personally I care more about being strong and looking strong than about looking like a model with 8pack. But of course I dont wanna be a fatazz.

My height is 1,75m/5'09" and bodyfat 15%(estimated)

Best Lifts are currently:
squat: 5x55kg
deads: 4x65kg
bench: 8x50kg
bicep curl: 9x28kg
military press: 7x26kg
chin ups: 8
bent-over-rows: dunno

I'm currently thinking about my choice of food, because stuff like pure cottage cheese/tuna just make me wanna puke. The problem is not that they taste bad but that at the moment I can't eat them or I really puke(I did). Because of all the wimpy food I ate in the last weeks. So I will not go for a perfect choice of food because it doesn't help me if I can not eat as much as I need to because I can only eat very slow when I feel like puking. I will go for things like whey,whey,whey,skimmed milk, skimmed milk, skimmed milk, oatmeal, oatmeal, chicken, chicken, whole toast, whole bread, 1%fat yogurt drink(stealed that:p), salad with tuna, rice, pasta, some fish and pig(beef is too expensive), peanuts/almonds,flaxseed oil, some vegetables/ananas, apples/bananas, than i'm thinking about things like low fat curd cheese with a shot sparkling mineral water and some strawberries or other fruits. I will prepare and think about my meals every 3 days and stuff the things I can in tupperware. Also I will supplement 1mineral+vitamines pill, 1vitamin C pill, and in the evening 2 magnesium pills+ 1 zinc pill (homemade ZMA :p)

I will make pictures to watch my progress, so I will take one tomorrow. I have no webspace, so Lifeforce can you upload it for me? Else I prefer to stay a mystery :D
ahh if I only had a body pic 1,5years ago, but this time I will keep track.

well that got a bit long!

peace

"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.

Wow... we really need to get out off the gym more when we start to make jokes about exercises. :] Nah.. if you're nice I'll tell you a story about two rhomboids who walked across the road.

Sounds like **** dude, really good off you to brush it off and start some serious work to improve. We all ease off sometimes, funny iy helps give us the do or die attitude back.

Anyway, it seems you have it all figured out. I'm interested to see your results come, and off course I'll let you use some space, I haven't got much but if you send me the pics I can upload it. Try to keep the space around 1 mb. That's like 4 quality pics. Send me a message on MSN.

Sorry to keep this reply so short.. I'm having some people over for dinner who'll be here in two minutes and I still have my training pants on :] Well, off for the shower.

uhhh I have no MSN can you PM me your mail? it's 3x50kb. pictures are real assh0les becauz my mum took them. next time I will let my bro take em.

sure I will be very nice to hear more of your nerdy jokes :D just made a sweet tasty pudding for you full of high quality whey and skimmed milk from free healthy german cows! go get it tiger


yup it IS ****. true about the do or die attidude. I think we human beings/men are designed for this kind of attidude. not for the relax and expect nothing attidude. back in time this attidude was a given because when we didnt hunt and eat much to be strong we would be too weak and die sooner or later. Nowadays we would not die if we not work out/eat 6times but suffer from emotional pain b/c we're not supposed to live such a life. So we need to remind ourself that this is the right attidude to have b/c negative examples are everywhere and if you don't stay focused you will be influenced.

for the nature!

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

LOL funny ****. I hate it when my body goes against my wishes too, how dare it puke after comsuming 2L of milk and 3 cans of tuna in 1/2 an hour!:mad:

I suppose it's for my own good though...
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"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.
