"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I have no access to a gym but still would like to work out.

I know this seems stupid, but couldn't I just do push-ups/crunches, etc?

Are there any certain exercises that dont require access to a gym or any weightlifting equipment?

Thanks in advance,
John
 

"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.

You don't put on much, if any, mass without weights. Pushups only help to a point if you're already weak. Crunches improve your ab muscles, but you won't add muscle mass.

Find a way to get access to a gym. No town or city is without at least one.

I haven't worked out at a gym once in my life and I haven't lifted any weights. I've done training with my own body, such as pushups, sit-ups and many other forms of exercises and it has given fantastic results. I used to train for 1.5 - 2 hours a day 6 days a week with this stuff. What I included in my workout was in addition to the regular routine, posing. Have you tried that? You can really feel the muscles tension when you target them and if you stretch them out after the workout, you should gain mass, but keep in mind it won't give you the same result as weights would.

I have pics to back this up.

The abs you can do without weights quite easily - just lower your BF%. Those pecs I have doubts about. Where's the before pictures?

But if you did build your pecs that big without weights, more power to ya.

I did my training without weights. I'm sixteen and I've been training since I was 12. I've stopped training recently because I'm so damn sick of it. The pics are from July.

Start lifting with weights and you'd be a shoe in for your HS football team.

everywhere,nowhere
you could actually get pretty ripped with just push ups
& crunches. but thats all you'll have chest , arms & abs.
you'd have to do some kind of squating movements
for your legs.

You dont have a gym at your school? Or even your city? If not then buy 2 or 3 sets of dumbbells, you can do alot with a set of 30's 60's and 90's or so
 

"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.
