"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.

My main problem with the gym is that once I get there, after about 20-30 minutes I get bored and lose motivation. However, I have a car now and the gym is real close so I figured why not go 4-5 times a week with very short workouts? I can do about 3 exercises per workout, and that gives me a total of about 11-12 exercises total.

I'd much rather 4 workouts of about 20-30 minutes each, rather than 3 workouts spanning 30-45 minutes. Will I still have the same benefit?
 

"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.

To my knowledge and experience as long as you keep the intensity high enough your good to go. I actually make my best gains on short intense workouts.

I actually only do 3-4 exercise per session. Going to gym 3 times a week. Each session lasting about 1.5hours including stretching time.

Works fine for me - i.e. still making progress.

IMO a lot of guys spend wayyyy too long in the gym when it comes to weight training. I see guys in there lifting for 2 hours.

There's no way your body NEEDS/CAN TAKE 2 hours of heavy lifting unless you're a professional.

45 minutes of high intensity (I'm talking 3 - 5 exercises, 3 sets each) lifting is enough to build mass.

Staying for any more amount of time can also be counter-productive, as your muscles need nutrients after you've worked them hard enough. This is why protein is recommended immediately after workout.
