"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.

Note, keep in mind my goal is to gain MASS, and as much as possible. Currently I am weighing in at about 130 lbs, I am 5'8 1/2. On non workout days I cut out the Ultrafuel, my postworkout drink...which is 400 less calories and 100 less carbs. I will be training 3-4 days a week. + items are what I mix in with that main meal.

Meal A 9:00 AM

  • 5 Large Whole Eggs(375 Calories, 30G Protein, 5 Carbs, 25G Fat)
+1 Slice of Cheese(50 Calories, 4G Protein, 1 Carb, 3G Fat

Total Calories: 727, Protein: 47G, Carbohydrates: 65G, Fat: 25.5G, Fiber: 5G.

Meal C 3:00 PM(Post Workout Drink Included, my workout schedule varies)

  • 7oz Chicken Breast, no skin(245 Calories, 56G Protein, 7G Fat)

  • 1.5 Cup Brown Rice (327 Calories, 6G Protein, 69G Carbs, 3G Fat, 15G Fiber)

  • 2 Cup Spinach (80 Calories, 10G Protein, 10G Carbs, 28G Fiber)

  • 1 Serving Ultra Fuel - Post workout shake(400 Calories, 100 Carbs)

  • 1.5 Cup Broccoli(36 Calories, 4.5G Protein, 6.5G Carbs, 13.5G Fiber)

  • 2 tbsp Udo's Choice oil (132 Calories, 14G Fat)

Total Calories: 424, Protein: 36G, Carbohydrates:6G, Fat: 30G)

I am also taking a few vitamins & supplements spread out between meals:

Vitamin C 1000mg's 3 times daily
1 tsp Glutamine 3 times daily
1/2 serving creatine pre-workout and the other 1/2 post workout.
Multi-vitamin once daily.

I'm not sure if I should cut out the cottage cheese at the end of the night to take ZMA instead, since i'm focused on gaining mass I thought i'd skip ZMA the first few months.

Anyways...

"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.

Looks good but add some protein powder to your ultra fuel postworkout.

No need for glutamine in such a small dose either

Take the zma like an hour before the cottage cheese. I'm assuming you're worried about the calcium affecting the zinc.

looks good, you'll gain on that assuming your deadlifting and squating
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
