wow, most people on this site are relatively strong. I thought you guys were all nerds 
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
One hundred pushup challenge!

- Start date
"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.
Strength is relative Darth. I bet these guys are like 100 pounds less than I am!

I'm most impressed that I actually did 5 push ups on the first set. That's my max so far. As you can see I fell short on the other sets. But it is way better than last week. I am making progress and I will repeat week 1 again next week. I know I will be able to complete week 1 next week. I'm gonna tear this sh1t up.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I did this about 3 hours after getting home from lifting boxes for 5 hours, so I don't know if I could have actually done more on the last one. I'll try it Friday when I wake up.

Heh, I've been running this on another forum. Didn't know that you guys do it here too.
I could do 50 continuous push-ups before this, but I want that nice number 100.
I'm at week 3, day 2 now, following the 3rd column: 27-19-19-15-45.
Did it at work this afternoon and the heater was buggered today (it's freezing down here) so that felt good!

"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.

Something came up Thursday and took over my whole weekend, so I wasn't able to do Day 3 of Week 2. Instead of skipping, I'm going to do Week 2 this week.

No massive gains there, but I also took a long break. The test is gonna be >30 anyway, so I'll start week 3.
P.S.: Truman keep us updated! We're all rooting for ya - give em hell!

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I haven't quit either. I just figured it seemed pathetic that I keep repeating week 1 and I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself. So what I have been doing is continuing the workouts but posting the updates on my blog. I suppose I can copy and paste the updates here once I feel as though I am ready to move on from week 1 which should be after next week (after 5 weeks!).
Thanks for the encouragement guys. Keep up the good work!

Anyone else noticing improvements in your body? So far, my arms have gotten a bit bigger, my chest is more defined and square, my back is a bit wider, my shoulders are more round, and my abs are more defined.
