"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

Do 3 or 4 hit combos (jab, cross, jab; jab, cross, hook; jab, cross, uppercut; etc). If you want to add in kicks, even better. Repeat the same set of combos for 2 minutes, then switch it up every 2 minutes. Every 10 minutes, punch the bag as hard and fast as you can freestyle for 30 seconds, then cool off for 2 minutes with shadowboxing. Repeat the whole thing for 30 minutes, then do an ab workout for 10 minutes (crunches, leg lifts, superman, etc - do your research). Stretch for 10 minutes and you're done.
That's basically the cardio class of my kickboxing studio, with too much variation to list. If you do that 5 days a week first thing in the morning, fat will fly off your body. Drink water, don't eat anything (not milk or juice either) until after the workout.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Extremely pointless in my opinion. Good luck on that man. Excuse me, I forgot, luck is for the ill-prepared. Let me rephrase. Go kick some ass bro :box:

everyone, pay attention to this. punchbag cardio is fine if you're a boxer and know how to do it safely, but if you hurt your wrist you can forget weight training for a while. train smart.
oh and Kas, yes, drink water while you do cardio, it's important mate.

Fortunately it was only a slight sprang and I'm nearly recovered.Warboss Alex said:everyone, pay attention to this. punchbag cardio is fine if you're a boxer and know how to do it safely, but if you hurt your wrist you can forget weight training for a while. train smart.

For most muscle groups 5 days a week is 5 times too much. Abs, however, recover much quicker. Maybe when you first start out you can limit the ab workout to 2 or 3 times a week. I haven't had any problems working them 5x a week - they don't even get sore anymore.Kas said:
