"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.

PLEASE IF YOU ARE UNEDUCATED ABOUT MARIJUANA DON'T POST!!!

Arnold used to smoke a joint before lifting weights. Now you don't even have to smoke anything you can just use a vaporizer which doesn't hurt your lungs. Some of ganja's effects would aid with growth. So please only people with knowledge of this plant post but would it be a good aid to working out?
 

"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.

Lawrence Taylor snorted coke and broke legs. Does cocaine make better football players? Probably not. Plus Arnold did one other thing that may have helped growth: steroids.

That Arnold thing is a myth. You don't get to be 8-time Mr. Olympia by blazing before every workout.

But to answer your question, yes, I used to do it. I no longer smoke before lifting because I feel it negatively affects my strength, and I am primarily a strength athlete. Maximal poundages + weed= bad idea.

When I was more into bodybuilding, I found it helped with the mental aspect of really focusing on a lot of reps and volume.

Physiologically weed has been shown to lower your serum test levels (while you are high), so that right there is reason enough to not smoke before a workout. Where smoking really helps training progress is in the appetite augmentation and it's promotion of deep, restful sleep.
 

"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.

Seen it. He blazes one time one camera and all of a sudden potheads claim he smokes before every workout.

If he is willing to do it on camera, then what is stopping him from doing it off camera??

I use to smoke an L before I worked out...Not to the point your skyy high but have a nice lil buzz going on. It helps you concentrate on your workout well for me it did...I hit the bike for 30mins hard and time flies and I didnt even notice it. Hitting the weights with ease. I guess it helps you concentrate on whatever you are doing

Him and his buddies used to load their truck up with weights and go into the woods where they would do nothing but drink beer and lift. Arnold tells this in many of his interviews (and if I remember in one of his books.)

I wouldn't be suprised if they were smoking it up too.

Say what you want about marijuana but I know myself I wouldn't be able to get the gains that I do w/o getting the munchies. I'm just a light eater and marijuana changes that for me.
 

"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.

Why not just drink high calorie shakes if you know you need more to eat? Let's be real: you just like blazing up and getting high. The truth is that that stuff doesn't do anything. I played football with 3 guys who smoked weed that I knew of and one went to the league out of the three. The thing is that the guy gave everything on the field and in the weightroom and made himself a success.

Yes I love blazing but as long as it does not interfere with my training I don't see it being a problem. I'm sure Ricky Williams was toking at Texas and he had some excellent years. It didn't seem to hurt Percy Harvin at Florida any either.

The video is the very end of "Pumping Iron" a documentary made back in the mid 70's. Arnold at his finest. In this they are celebrating Arnolds victory in the Olympia and Lou Ferrigno's B Day. Its funny
