"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.

Hi,
I've never worked out before (have good height and right weight) but I lack strength. I want to increase my stamina and strength. How should I begin ? Should I join a gym or is swimming a better option ? I don't want to quit/do anything half-heartedly and then quit. Any help would be appreciated.

"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.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
look into 5x5 programs. strength is the best way to start out lifting, endless bicep curls will infact NOT give you large biceps. heavy pulling will though. do some research, stay away from bodybuilding.com and welcome to the journey.
 

"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.

If your looking to build strength as well as muscle I would look into a "5x5" program like others mentioned. Theres a few of them out there... I went with Reg Parks program because that is the one Arnold Schwarzenegger followed as a beginner.

Heres a link: http://www.seriouspowerlifting.com/1738/articles/

The next key thing for you is going to be learning "Form" and technique when performing these lifts. Some people will say "X" exercise is bad for because, blah blah blah. Exercises can only turn out bad from going too heavy or using bad form.. Keep it simple and learn as you go.
