"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.

I decided to wait until about mid morning to leave for the gym, a nice workout would suite me well. As I pulled into the parking lot I realized that the lot was packed with grocery getters and overpriced gas-guzzlers. “Oh no!” I thought out loud, startling myself half to death. I just couldn’t help but think that I have a hard time focusing on my workout when a large amount of people are around. “Well, I’ll just do my thing and have a great work out anyway.”

Yeah right.

It’s hard to build confidence when I’m a scrawny man trying to bulk up and I am constantly staring in awe of all the guys whose arms are as big as my head! I quickly realized that my discomfort was debilitating and any sort of a great workout was out of the window. So I quickly went about my business and got the hell out of there as quick as I could. (Couple this with an HB8 and an HB7 working behind the desk and my total lack of ability to skillfully approach seemed to help determine my downfall).

On my way home I couldn’t help but feel as though estrogen was pumping through my veins – like a damn pvssy. The needy, clingy ego that just gives up when the going gets tough was drawn out into the daylight. I was able to see it for what it is, an AFC. Perhaps in the past I would have said to myself, “that’s alright, I don’t need to work out, if I feel this uncomfortable then this must not be for me.” PAHHHSH HOG WASH! I have finally realized that this attitude is the attitude of an AFC and I REFUSE to give in. I will not give up. Giving up is for pvssies!

Tomorrow I plan on getting in there around 5am while everyone else is still rubbing sleep from their eyes. The AFC will be drawn out again when I can crush it!
 

"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.

Why do you envy the meatheads so much? A lot of guys in the gym are big, too big if you ask me, but often they're not that handsome.

Are you tall? If so, then you have something those big ,stocky, and often short guys will never have.

Why do you care what other people think?

The only power someone has over you, is the power you give them.

If you go in and follow an actual program, no one is going to pay you any attention. But if you just do a couple of exercises, then leave (like a skinny kid did at my gym today), then people will notice.

Its so worth it. Forget about short-term gains. Lift and eat for a year then see what you look like. You only need to improve in very small increments over a long period of time to see results.
