"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 have been trying affirmations and positive thinking for the past few days now and have been experiencing good things - not just in life... but in lifting too!

I think the reason I haven't been making as good progress, as I could have, is down to the fact that I just had a negative attitude when going to the gym. My lifts had been stagnating for so long that I just went to the gym for the sake of going and keeping what muscle I had gained.

I also just thought that the weight I was lifting in any given exercise is what I'll be stuck on til something happens which is beyond my control... but not so!

Over the past few days I've noticed that with my new attitude and affirmations (I am STRONG and POWERFUL... I am full of ENERGY) I have increased the reps on about 95% of all my sets so far!

Granted, some of the increases have just been one or two reps extra but today I added another 2.5kg on my Incline Bench Press and repped 7, 6 & 4 compared to last week's lift on the same exercise minus 2.5kg with 7, 6, 5.

So, to sum it up, try positive thinking and REALLY believe what you are saying and feel that new-found energy surging through your body!

Happy lifting!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.
