"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.

Is there a more beautiful exercise than the pullup? This thread is nothing more than a tribute to the simple chin.
 

"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.

I do pullups on everything. On the bar in my closet, on holds at the rock wall, on rafters at Safeco Field, hanging from railings..

I love the pullup.

I can't manage to actually get much better at them. I increase on everything but them.

Do you have a bar at home? There's a technique called "greasing the groove" that can help a lot. Let's say you can do five max. Every time you walk by the bar in your house, do two or three easy. Since you never get tired, you can do as many as a hundred a day like this. Some people have doubled their max in a week or two doing this. I went from not being able to do any one-legged squats to two or three with each leg by greasing the groove.

Pavel Tsatsouline's "Naked Warrior" covers this well.

greasing the groove...good idea man. Anywhere I see a bar I'll do some.
 

"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.

Yes. The Squat. The Deadlift. A chick with a banging ass and sexy legs doing straight legged deadlifts. IMO anyways.

Don't you agree?:trouble:

For the record, pullups are with the palm facing away, chinups are with the palms facing you.

Wide grip chin-ups with palms facing out? What category would that fall under with your logic?
 

"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?
