"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.
New routine flipped, critique please.

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 favorite triceps exercise is dumbell triceps extension or lying triceps extension. Dips, close-grip bench press, and pushdowns are okay too...but stay away from those one-armed extensions--way too much isolation to do anything.

Also, do not do abs 3 times a week. Put a plate across your chest for situps or ab hyperextensions, and do heavy sets like you would with any other lift.

A better split would be: Biceps/Back, Chest/Shoulders/Triceps, Legs/Abs - two nice compound exercises for the big muscle groups and one for the smaller ones if you want to train this way.
Bin the shrugs and rear laterals (good grief), add skullcrushers and reverse/close grip bench for triceps and personally I never train abs or forearms directly as they get worked through squats, deadlifts etc.

Exactly what i was doing before.Biceps/Back, Chest/Shoulders/Triceps, Legs/Abs
Julian, I'm pretty new to lifting but on leg day I'd throw in some SLDL for the hamstrings. I can feel my hamstrings have gotten way larger than before using that exercise.
I'd do 3 set of squats, 3 set of SLDL, (all 4-8) 1-2 set leg press, 1-2 set hamstring curls. (all 6-10). (my current routine, my legs seem to like doing this, can check out a pic of my legs in my journal).
Also, I'd drop the rows on biceps day and exchange for some close grip weighted chin ups, (partial if you like focusing in biceps) and moving the rows to the back day.
For triceps the best exercises IMO are JM-presses, skull crushers and weighted dips.
Shoulders+legs is a great combo IMO, just a little hard if you want to do negatives on push presses instead of militaries.

Reverse the grip, and they become chinups, which definitely hit the biceps hard.Originally posted by Julian
Yeah i dunno what i was thinking with this new routine. apparently i need to get more educated on what exercises hit which muscles (here i thought pullups where a bi exercises -_-).
