"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.

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?
 

"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.

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
 

"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.

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.
