"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.

No fat over the tummy... still resembles one like a 3rd world country :)

Well, it's not that bad,,,,, but I'm not seeing any results, with one side being more developed than the other side, and my ribs(or muscles) come across and join to my abs kinda at the top section. It looks kinda sloppy and I want to try and get the shape better.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what would be a good idea to get the shape better, or allign the muscles together? ANy input would be appreciated.
 

"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 think he is saying that his muscles are more developed on one side than the other. I would do less work on the more developed side but you have to be sure you know which muscle you are working. I have the same thing with my arms, one is bigger than the other so I am working one more now, but it isn't a very noticable difference in my case.

Its normal dude.. your stomach is on one side.. with some other organs..

you need to lose more body fat and make sure you ad an ab workout to your program so that when the fat is gone the abs are ready to be seen.. the problem will clear its self up .
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

No, the SHAPE of your muscles is already predetermined by genetics so you can't "shape" it. "Toning" muscle is merely lowering bodyfat so you can see more definition. If your abdominals are misaligned there is nothing you can do to change that because its your genetics. As far as oblique training goes, train them but WITHOUT weighted resistance because you don't want them to become larger making your waist appear larger and your V-Taper less prominent.

My wrestling coach used to have us do tons of "Rocky" situps and to this day I regret it because of the size of my obliques. If you're training for strangth, powerlifting, etc, hit them hard, because they're part of your core and essential to being strong. If you're training for looks..avoid training your obliques.
