"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.

Im 15 and I would say Im at around 20 percent body fat. Im skinny fat. My pectoral area is more proeminent than my abs. Its not a lot, so I was wondering if could it be really gyno (since Im 15 it could be due to some hormonal imbalance) or I just need to loose bodyfat. Im really skinny in the arms and shoulders so I dont know. I also feel a small lump in both my niples, but its real small.

If you think its really gyno:

What could I do to get rid of it?
If I lowered my bodyfat, would it still be noticeable?
Would the testosterone plan in 4 hours body work with this?

If you think its just fat:
Should I bulk first to stop being skinny or try to cut to get rid of it first?
Tips on bulking?
 

"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.

Photobucket is under maintenance for me, so I can't see the photos. I'll comment on whether it is gyno or fat when I see them.

Tim Ferris is full of $hit, don't listen or follow anything that he writes, it is garbage.

Yep, don't listen to Tim Ferris. You're 15, you're test levels don't need raising. Doesn't look like gyno, you desperately need to start working out though.

def not gyno. you get that sh!t in some serious metabolic or liver disorders, and you usually keel over to the emergency room due other stuff before gyno becomes prominent.

you are not 20% BF, who told you that you are 20?
you look like a half starved inmate in a nazi deathcamp. you are lower than that.cant say how much but way lower.


if you are really paranoid read this :

gyno is the presence of abnormal breast tissue in male but may also be due to puberty
(my guess is that your hormones being fvcked by all that "nutritious" milk the government feeds us.)

it can be due to:

hypogonadism : means your balls aint working much or not working at all.just jerk off to a snowboarding video and if your semen is white and smells like bleach then you are OK.

liver disorders/cirrrhosis : this means a fvcked liver,fvcked as in a meth sorority b!tch with huge tits being fvcked in a frat orgy type.
usually due to alcoholism. if you are binging round the clock or everytime you see a facebook post about africa then this might be it. is it?
no i doubt you can take 2 mugs of ale.

drugs : on the top of my drunk head , spironolactone and digoxin (heart drugs) also hormone replacement therapy for people who had their balls removed due to cancer

testicular and adrenal cancer

hyperthyroidism : your thyroid is jerking too much,its too active blah blah

there you go.there are some other stuff but im lazy to write.anyway ive seen lots of gyno in my day, most of them , hell all of them were due to alcoholism.if you want the definition of alcoholism then take a peek at our proud member -- BeDJ. lol

^see all that? my parents didnt waste their money after all....i guess
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

hmm no rack? doesnt matter.

go to the vault and read where to start or read DIESEL's bulking guide.
THEN replace squats with front squats , deadlifts and romanian deadlifts.

example : if there is no bench press then you can do the shoulder press, by deadlifting it, then cleaning it on to your shoulders.

same for front squats, deadlift then clean the weight onto the soulder and voila, front squats.

is there a bench press thingy?

Yes, there is a bench press. But I can squat more than I can clean, so wouldnt be able to to give my maximum in the squat, or am I wrong?

Agreed. He claims he was this bulked up natural bodybuilder, but somehow he has lost all his muscle mass and had no video footage to show him when he was bulked up.

It's much better to take advice from someone who is living proof of what they preach.

I went from a very similar physique to the OP to being bulked up and ripped by using Diesel's bulking guide on this forum.

Try doing low weight and high reps. Or try jump squats with no weight. I also recommend deadlifts.
 

"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.

High reps, AZZ TO GRAZZ will be more effective than your maximum squat.

Especially for putting slabs of muscle on your skinny frame :up:
