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.
"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.

"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.

oookkkaaaayyy squats!
I know, Right?
Been a while - too long!
60 Kg x 12 (132lb)
70 Kg x 12 (154Lb)
80 Kg x 8 (176Lb)
90 Kg x 6 (198Lb)
60 Kg x 12
Leg Extensions - bashed out hard and fast
3 sets 12 @ 77Kg
calves - 3 sets 12 @ 115kg
walking like Bambi - No pain on the knees - Squats dont go hugely heavy as was concentrating on form - Knee started the wobble on the last 3 reps @90Kg, so that was the limit

"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.

)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!

Hah - true dat! You have pushed me back onto the path of righteousness. Forgive me - vanity and temptation were strong.TheStig said:
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.

Post 2000!!!!!!
Right BackDay - favorite day
Weighted pullups New record time
25Kg Plate - 3 sets 6 reps/set (failed on final)
15kg Plate - 2 sets 8 (failed on final)
did 4 sets seated row 95kg x 12
then dropset to failure
lad joined me for these cos he's seen me train before and Im guessing he wanted to feel the crazy pump I had going on!
pullups @ bodyweight then offset pullups
totally did another droset to failure on seated row again as well - Oh my fvck - what a fvcking burn on that!
out of steam for pullups and weighted pullups, I hurled myself at the lat pulldown machine - dropset to failure there.
took a breather, spotted a buddy, then last ditch effort caught 4 pullups outta me.
Paused for a moment and threw bicep curls
- e-z-curl bar -
50Kg x 10
(had help on the last 4)
no break, dropped down to 40Kg x 15 (help on the last 7 to hit the negatives)
and outta there - off to meet HB for ice-cream. (I think that went quite well too)

)"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.

ok, Ive not updated this for a couple days, did squats the other day (monday) It was meant to be a rest day, but - THOU SHALT NEVER MISS A MONDAY.
WENT UP TO 100kg - im keeping it light for the moment.
Shoulders yesterday. After about 45 minutes of shoulders, a buddy appeared and he was on chest, so we smashed out another hour of chest.
on the way home, I stopped by another mates and he was in the garden smashing out dirty 30's. So, naturally, I joined him for 3 sets - overtrain on the triceps and complete failure.

With the size and shape I am I wouldn't blame you!TheStig said:
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.
"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.

Just a twinge, then a deep ache. It's fine now, just my body telling me to give it a rest.Lifeforce said:
@Krueg - I prefer it cos you can just load up tons of weight and it hits those lats nicely.
It's all good now - if I get it again ill see about switching up.
"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.
