"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.

Couldn't find these in the thread

1. How long do you wait between sets?

2. Where can I find a list of appropriate exercises?

3. What kind of high intensity cardio workouts are best?

Thanks in advance.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Second DJBens post....

Also... if you want to keep your intensity HIGH throughout your workout.. you can do.. starjumps or tuckjumps etc inbetween sets, to keep your heartrate up.

Hi AL

I'm going to directly answer all your questions.

A1: The recommended rest time between sets is 2-3 minutes.

A2: As you're a beginner, Heavy Compound Movements will be friendly.

A3: The Beep Test is one hell of a cardio workout. It's also called the Shuttle Run.

"Also be aware of the fact that diesel's guide is one way of loosing bodyfat, it goes with the low calorie approach. There are other ways to loose fat. The danger lies in your metabolism slowing down from the low calories. If you plan on cutting for more than 2+ months I would take a different approach, if you just want to loose "some" lbs it could work fine. Experiment and see what works."

It's just as efficent as slowly losing body fat, you just cycle it.

Bike HIIT owns. It's a killer on the knees though.

PERFECT leg workout if you want a little indurance in there at some point.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Interesting, I was just about to come in myself and ask a few questions. :D

Most of them are anwsered in this thread which is very sweet.

My question is: With bulking up I understand the importance of drinking atleast a gallon of water per day. Now, I am in the cutting up stage and the 1600 Calorie limit daily. Also doing push-ups along with my workout. Basically trying to keep muscle mass so I don't look like a stick. Do I also drink a gallon a water in this cut up stage daily?

cutting requires lifting the same weight, doing the same routine as bulking. push ups wont retain mass while on a calorie deficit the gains are un substantial for bodybuilding. eating sufficient protein and lifting certain weight will retain mass/build mass while on a deficit.

the water you consume is the same as bulking/cutting.
