"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.

funny name with the captain. not bad your 2max-outs! but "ordinary" bench.....that sounds so devaluing to one of my favourite exercises:p
 

"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.

This exercise was a freebee you know. To test where my limits where. Next time I'm all 5x5. Well actually I'm trying more of 5,4,3,2,1 rep range. I broke record after record today. FINALLY got that damn 45 kgs curl I've been waiting for.

yeh i was wondering if that are new records or not.....but because you didn't write "new record" i assumed that they weren't. 45kg are really good, i'm wondering if i can try it, too. one week ago i made 7x35kg.

Forgive me for not reading all that far back, but you're telling me you can do single arm bicep curls with a 45kg dumbell? For how many reps? Do you have any pics floadin around?

cheers

Edit - ahh... the ezy bar. Still a good lift, more than I can do.

I took 16 months off, and just jumped back into it. I think im at around where you were when you started. The time off caused me to shed 6 kilos... ugh.
 

"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.

Yeah man... I ****ed up those barbells today. Some ***** who brought his girlfriend who looked demeaning when we warmed up, like he could lift more than us. He SLDL on 75 and DL on 95. I broke that son of a ***** right off. Man I can SLDL more than he DL.

**** I'm drunk right now... first time in 2.5 months. I'm really enjoying this ****. Got the phone number today off a chick who I have been talking to for a while. She lives near my school and she want to **** me. I wondered how she liked to be ****ed... she enjoy it hard and brutal... she want to be tied and spanked like a little girl who has been all naughty... she's so gonna get it. The master just walked through the door.

Enjoy everyone.

Haha... holy **** I wrote this! Well let say it's all for the cardio =) Yeah... did you get a hangover?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Hehe :D

Double, about the whey, I didn't mean you did anything wrong diet-wise, it's just I spend so much money on whey when it was useless for me, kinda frustrating to find out personally for me.

Happy lifting!

Hey sazuki y did you change your username?? well, maybe you are right and i don't need that big amounts of whey, thinking about it, probably you are right, but i can't risk slowing down on my gains(i'm one hell of a impatient mofo!), so i can't risk to give it a try to consume less whey.

Thanx, i'm off for some deadlifting now. Happy lifting bros!

Ohh yeah... =) I placed myself on the scales today. it Said 170.5 lbs without clothes. This was on the day though so I probably weigh less in the morning. But I've grown some at least *damn happy*

"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.
