Ok, just did a second gymsession today. Half hour backhand then shredded the chest to pieces. Two chest taps in one day is ok occasionally. Totally fvcked now.
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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yeah dude I did the last half of my workout outside and it's fvcking awesome, people watching you as they walk/drive by hahaha. The only point I'll disagree with is that looking epic naked isn't the main reason (though it is a reason) we do this, it's to be as badass as fvcking possible!

Lol the first incline was machine. I had nobody to spot me, so incline machine and light bench.
It's amazing that gym feeling looks like nothing when written down, but we all see each others pain and understand.
We earned every ounce of pain here and noone can take that from us.
Edit: good tune man- definitely adding that to my playlist.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
With the size and shape I am I wouldn't blame you!TheStig said:If I'd have walked in the gym and saw you struggling with 14 kg I'd have started laughing my ass off haha, but really though good work
Oh man haha if you could have seen my face when I was doing dropset curls yesterday, you'd think I was giving birth!Purefilth said:With the size and shape I am I wouldn't blame you! Exactly lol
Some guy did look at me funny but he could see I was on Dropsets. I think it may have been the face I was pulling that got the funny looks.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
What's up with the elbow m8?Purefilth said:3 sets 12 pullups BW
Yates' row

few more pullups I twinged my elbow on mthe yates's I think and the pain got the better of me.
I hate walking out half done - but Ill be damned If I'm gonna waste more injury time.
Anti inflammitory and all will be well
Just a twinge, then a deep ache. It's fine now, just my body telling me to give it a rest.Lifeforce said:What's up with the elbow m8?
