"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm VERY interested in how some pro athletes workout(mostly NFL players). Examples include: Adrian Peterson, LT, Shawn Merrimam, Reggie Bush, Kobe Bryant, etc. I've tried looking on youtube for some videos but i'm finding zilch. Does anybody know where I can find some information and videos?
 

"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.

Men's health magazine is a pretty good source for this. They'll often have workout plans from professional athletes.

I know off the top of my head that A-Rod always works out at 6AM. And Johnny Damon does his running/jogging up steep hills and mountains.

:down:

Most of those programs are made up.

@TS why do you wanna know? Every pro athlete trains differently, because every pro athlete IS different. Think weaknesses, muscle imbalances etc. Your best bet would be to find some well-known trainers that train pro athletes and ask them.

I'd go with the MMA workouts, more cut and less bulk. Plus the MMA body looks better than a NFL's body in my opinion.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Thanks for those videos. Notice the heavyweight fighters are the ones lifting weights, even light amounts and high reps. The lighter guys are doing mostly everything but traditional weights.

I tried to look up what bj penn does as a workout, since he kicked Sherk's ass. I found this video:
http://www.mmascraps.com/2008/05/bj-penn-trains-for-his-upcoming-fight.html

It's just running through mountains at high altitude and mat time. In the second video, you can see that those mats are wet with sweat. They roll a lot.

GSP kicked Penn's ass. He does lift a few weights.

Im thinking most here just wanna look good

NFL players and MMA fighters train for what they get paid to do. Speed, strength, endurance etc

I dont really care how fast I run the 40 meter dash. I just wanna look good at the beach .

Bud_2005: Pro athlete's work outs are specialized and tailored for their sport, their abilities and the results *they* want to achieve. Unless you're a clone of one, you shouldn't be trying to use their workout.

For instance, most heavy weights in MMA lift a lot. That doesn't mean that lifting a lot is necessarily the way to go for everyone. Fedor hasn't lifted iron in years, he just does bodyweight and still beats up on people.

If you're a beginner, you should do a basic workout that works for beginners. Once you're past the beginner stage, then you move on. Suddenly jumping on some random pro's workout isn't going to help achieve the best results you can.

Also, you gotta figure what your goal is. NBA players and NFL players have completely different goals when they train, and you wanna know how they all work out. The question is, what do you want to achieve?
 

"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.
