"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.

Is there any benefit to doing a few push ups right before you go to sleep? im saying like 4 to 5 sets of 20?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

If it doesn't interrupt your sleep, you should be fine. But try to find some time during the morning/day to workout.

Correct me if i'm wrong but if you do a bunch of exercises then go to sleep, aside from being good at push-ups you are going to be burning muscle if you don't atleast eat something afterwards.

"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.

I did them when I had a bout of insomnia on my teacher's recommendation. Pushups before bed helped wear me out, but the situps...kept me awake. I don't have these sleep problems anymore.

I randomly do like 10 pushups whenever. It's not going to harm a thing unless you're planning to do hundreds before bed. PWO pushup nutrition.. hahahahaha... I don't know why you'd want to do 4-5 sets of 20. Why so many?

As long as you eat a good dinner I can't see how doing 100 pushups is goi9ng to burn much if any muscle. It just won't burn that much calories anyway. The only thing you have to worry about is the sleep thing.

I personally can do 48-51 in a row @ 203 lbs. My twig-looking friend does about 81 in a row.
