"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.

I work out Mon-Thursday, using fri-sun as rest days. Would it hurt my training to drink one of these days? I'm not talking about piss drunk.. but pretty drunk. Enough to get a good buzz going. Assuming I didn't miss my meals and still got proper sleep. I want to drink at least one day a week, maybe play some beer pong.. but I've read that it makes your training go completely to waste. I'm 6'1 and about 145-150 lbs, my goal is to bulk up. I was heavy drinker in the past, ever sense I turned 21 especially. Drinking about a 12 pack everyday. I was the guy that was always hung over at work all the time.. now, I'm trying to get my life straightened out. I just started hitting the gym again, and went all week not drinking. My body is sore, and all I want to do is relax right now, but would drinking hurt me, even if I only did it once a week? I'm kind of worried about it.
 

"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.

I'm 30 years old. Drinking alot is over for me. I may drink 2 or 3 socially but no more than that. As you get older hopefully you will start to feel the same way. You don't want to be like the guys who never get that.

However, at 30, it's a little harder to me to be in peak shape. Sometimes i think back to what could've been had i slowed down to 2 or 3 a week back when I was in prime fighting shape. If that's really your goal I would give it a real shot and tone down the drinking.

I actually have toned it down. I haven't had a drink in 8 days. Which is actually me quitting cold turkey. (Just one day realizing, like hey.. I want to start working out again. I need to quit drinking.) So that's what I did. And This was me going from drinking anywhere from a 6-12 pack EVERYDAY. I decided not to drink last night either.. but I did something just as bad.. stayed up really late. My body is so soar. It's 1:44 PM and I JUST woke up. I guess I just need to start taking this a lot more seriously. I already missed my breakfast, so now I'm just going to have a gigantic lunch and hopefully catch up in calories for today.

True.

What blows my mind is the "Jersey Shore" phenominon. Are these guys juicing or what? How the hell can you be that huge, and seriously get drunk at a club EVERY SINGLE NIGHT?

It blows my mind.

I guess I've came to the conclusion that I'm only going to drink once a week. (During my rest days.) Probably just a couple beers tops. No black out drunkness like I'm used to.
 

"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'd be willing to bet everything I own that they're juicing. Those guys are too stupid to understand diet and regular training, and too reckless to carry it off.

Obviously you still have to hit the gym when you're on steroids, but at least they can just go and mindlessly lift weights for an hour or two and not have to worry about the more complicated stuff.

I wouldn't rule out implants and cosmetic surgery with some of those guys too.

Thanks for the link. Rep+

And yeah, look at "The Situation" for example. His upper body is huge, but his bottom half is tiny. I even remember one of his female house mates insulting him about it in one of the earlier episodes. You could blame it on an imbalanced routine, but I think they're doing more than just dieting and hitting the gym. Either way, it kind of irritates me, but I swore to myself I would never juice or use any illegal substances to try and bulk. I want to keep it completely natural.
