"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 wanna try some new exercises, so anybody who knows in which I could change these:

50x Deadlift @ 135lbs
50x KB Clean and Press @ 36lbs (KB must touch floor between reps)

and perhaps

50x Floor Wiper @ 135lbs
 

"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.

What, deadlifts x 50reps? Why?

You can replace deadlifts with rack deadlifts. Set the safety pins up in the power rack with a barbell on it such that the barbell is about 2" below your knee. Rack deads rely far less on the quads, hamstrings and glutes, but they're good for overloading the back (more weight can be used than floor deadlifts).

Kettlebell clean and press... ---> Barbell clean and press?

Low weights, but doing it a lot more, so that the muscles become used to the weights and grow more "Solid"...

Eh?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

It's more that we don't understand your reasoning. What are your goals?

Oh know we understand what you mean. It's just it's bollocks. Low weight high reps does not tone your muscle.

If you want to build overall TOUGHNESS consider the following...

Deadlifts 10 (sets)x 3-4 (reps) 85% max effort
(I don't know your level of fitness but I am assuming you are well enough off to do 10 sets if you are already doing 50 reps with 135)
weighted pull ups 6 x 5-6 reps
clean & press 6 x 7-9
Push ups 100 as fast and as much as you can
curls 6 x 8-10

rest until COMPLETLY recovered then repeat,could be three days could be five-as you become progressivly stronger you may have to increase your resting time.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Doing low weight for countless reps builds endurance.

If you want "solid" muscles, low reps are the way to go. If you want "pretty" muscles then pump out reps of about 8-12.

I prefer the 4-6 range. Builds mass, and builds it solid/strong.


If deadlifts hurt, you're doing them wrong.
