"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.

I'm 160lbs and about 5'11-6' tall. I've been doing Scooby's Teen Workout since January 1st 2010.

www.scoobysworkshop.com

It's under Workout Plans I believe.

I've gained roughly 20lbs of muscle, I did not work out during my school's football and volleyball sports last year. I often eat a protein bar or drink a protein shake after my workout, the bars are Pure Protein and the powder is Body Fortress Whey.

I recently started doing Scooby's Intermediate workout, but I am forced to do these after my volleyball practices and they leave me feeling sore and weak before I even start.

I'm starting to hear about these routines such as Rippetoe's Starting Strength and the Anthony Ellis Skinny Guy Program.

Ideally I would like to gain as many pound of muscle as fast as possible. I;m shooting for at LEAST 190lbs by football season in August.

So can anybody give me suggestions? I would really really appreciate them.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

To the OP:

20 lbs on a program without Squats or Deads? Tell us the secret because sounds like bull to me lol. Nonetheless I'd recommend "Starting Strength" By Ripptoe or "Where to Start OPTION B" you can find both in the vault...

cheers mate

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

I have a barbell with some weights, but nowhere near the amount I am able to bench.

A gym is POSSIBLE, but will be difficult, as I'd have to go there while balancing homework, volleyball, and dinner. I want to gain weight but I don't know if I have the minerals and time for it...at least not outside of my own house.

Please help me out here, I want to build myself up.
