"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.

Hey wassup guys. Just wanted to ask questions about push-ups. People who had experience or know about push-ups. What are the benefits you get from doing push-ups. Do push-ups make you stronger as in strength like you can push things harder? I know push-ups can't build muscle mass, but my friends say it makes your muscle more visible and it made them stronger. Also how often should you do push-ups, like everyday, everyother day, etc.



THANKS!:D
 

"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.

hey man dont worry about it. why dont you open up the first two, click edit and then use the option at the top to delete the two prior unneccessary ones

IMO pushups can be beneficial in strength gains early on, but as one progresses doing countless reps of pushups really isnt an effective means to gain mass or strength.

honestly if you can bench the bar for a set of 10 I wouldnt even bother with pushups. however i also know sometimes when one goes into a gym its nicer if you can do a little weight too...i remember being a freshman in HS and my first time in a weight room was when some of the varsity football players were finshing up (im not sure i even stayed the absolute first time).

If standard pushups get easy try wide o r more narrow widths for your hands, or prop your feet up and your hands up a couple inches so you can go deeper. just watch out for soem this can be tough on the shoulders.

eventually youre going to want to use real free weights in a real gym if you want to make more than a coupel weeks or a month or twos worth of progress.

i would start with pushup workouts say, 2x a week, maybe one day low reps w/ a difficult movement and the other higher w/ a easier one.

but definately start looking into a real weght room, or your gains are going to stagnate real fast

Here's a type of push-up that rocks, use a small stability (medicine) ball to do push-ups on. Talk about a HUGE workout on not just your arms and shoulders, but also your back and core!

Oh yeah, don't forget about dips to work on you triceps.
