"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.

This is to track progress, and show my experiences with this program.

Started eating more today, will count protein grams soon enough (aiming for 2x B.W). Warmups are 2-4 sets before the one restpaused set.

First workout ever with rest-pausing and stuff, still getting the hang of some of the extreme stretching. Weights in KG.

Incline Smith Bench: 65 -x6,x2 (Too heavy a weight) 60 - x3, x1
10 sec static rep
30 second chest stretch, 22.5 kg DB

Hammer Shoulder Press: 30 - x9, x3, x1
30 sec stretch, haven't quite got the hang of it.

Dips: BW - x5, x2, x1
20 sec stretch, same as shoulder, needs work :trouble:

Pullups: BW - x5, x3, x1
10 sec negative

Hammer Row: 32 - x8, x5, x4
10 sec static rep
10 sec back stretch, need dipping belt and wrist straps.

Getting to grips with it, but felt like the most intense workout i've ever done. :cheer:

i hope this turns out to be a progressive thread.
 

"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.

I know its recommened to have a certain strength base/advancement before doing DC, not sure if you know that. Your call I suppose.

Good luck.

Yeh, but why not go for it and see what happens :cool:

All i know is i cant move most of my body today, even given the break from lifting thats impressive. If things start to get messy, we'll give it a miss though, so i'm prepared for it to start sucking for me. Lets hope it doesnt :p

Alt DB Curls: 15 - x10, x3, x2
20 sec Stretch for biceps, holy **** this is painful.

Calves were just using leg press machine on full, doing the -ve stretch DC dictates after each rep.

F.A, 2x10 Rev Curl Machine, 28kg

Quads were 182kg on leg press machine, 20 repper.
Power racks had queues for them, had a train to catch :nono:

Quad stretch is weird, need to get to grips with it properly, going to practice at home :p .

Good program so far. Wonder how sore I'll be tomorrow :cuss:
