"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Hit the gym yesterday after over a week off.
Haven't been eating much, but the lifts are still weak.
Squat: 2x5x80
Bench: 3x5x60 - Reps were hard.
Ab work.
1x10x10 dips.

Bought this new whey protein, USN Hardcore whey gH. It's got a generous amount of creatine monohydrate and this new thing, tribulus terrestris, which is supposed to increase testosterone and libido. I did some reading on it, but I'm noticing quite significant mental effects. What's your take on it?
 

"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.

Went swimming. Chilled.

I've told you my opinion but I'll say it again. You wasted your money. USN makes sub-standard products and tribulus is ineffective.

It's got pretty much the same protein % as the other products. Lower due to creatine content etc, all for roughly the same price. I figured it was worth a shot.

The whey protein just got me on such a high again. I'm coming down now after a cold shower and I'm left in a productive state.

Been hard to hit the gym lately, but here we are again. Did a session with a friend.

Bench:
1x7x65
1x7x60
1x8x50

Dips:
1x8x10
1x7x5

Skullcrushers
Some biceps
Rows 1x50 1x55
Tricep pulldowns or something

Have hit the gym 4 times the past 2 weeks. Intend on starting the habit nicely again.

I feel stronger and more buff than ever. I look bigger and equally or more ripped. The creatine in my protein perhaps?

Did 80x3 easily, lightly spotted, but not sure if I could've done a single rep alone. <- Bench. I'll update with stats and workouts later.

What are your maxes on the big 3? (Bench, Squat and power clean)


At first I thought you were talking in pounds, which had me thinking you were horrifically weak. (Typical American, I know.) Then I went to your OP and then it hit me that youre talking in kilos.
