All was well until my grandma had me removed from MCROTC. All I had to do was eat a lot, and go to school and I would have bulked decently. But now, I'm stuck going back to weights, pushups, etc. BUT at the moment I can't afford both so it's either heavier weights, or a workout bar (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Iron-Gym-Total-Body-Workout-Bar/17435150 or http://www.walmart.com/ip/Pure-Fitness-Multi-Purpose-Workout-Bar/15859558?findingMethod=rr). So which one should I get now?
"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.
Pull up bar vs weights?

"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.

Weights. There's a lot you can do with weights, but only one thing that you can do with a pullup bar.

This. Also, you don't necessarily need a bar to do pull ups - a tree branch could work just fine for those.MetalFortress said:Weights. There's a lot you can do with weights, but only one thing that you can do with a pullup bar.

For pullups just go to the local park in the morning and use the monkey bars ... wrap them in grip tape.
personally, Id invest in a 45lb barbell and slowly build up my collection of plates over time. you can DIY a rack for it, and buy a bench eventually.
a screw-on dumbbell and some mini plates for dumbbell work.
thats pretty much all anyone needs.

"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.

Don't bother with the 6 times a day thing unless you're an advanced bodybuilder trying to go from 5% bodyfat to 4% bodyfat pre-contest with the assistance of mountains of legal and illegal drugs.Eph said:thanks guys. But now I'm back in MCJROTC so I've got access to the weight room so I "have" both weights,pullup bars, and everything else I could need. Now to get in 400 calories 6 times a day :/
Just get the calories in before bed and you'll be fine. Seriously.
The 6+ meals thing will steal your life and provide marginal benefit.
