"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 just finished this workout I'm fond of: Gain 10 Pounds of Muscle in 4 Weeks

Granted I didn't actually expect to gain 10 pounds in a month, but I like the 4 day split and needed a new regimen for a month. Now that I'm finished, I'll replace some of the workouts (push-ups instead of dips, decline bench press instead of regular, etc.) and continue.

Also, don't skip legs when trying to add muscle. That's ridiculous.
 

"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 had very big gains after half a year. But I was really dedicated, going strong, eating a lot, little experienced (but more than most newcomers), even overtraining myself (which is bad but i got gains anyway, imagine if i didnt overtrain myself).


after that half a year women were staring at me shocked.

however dont expect this quick gains @RichardTheFrog . newcomers dont know much and they arent dedicated, example @bigneil goes year for gym and no little change

How many days per week did you lift? And how long per session?

You've asked this before. The answer is still the same. Compound, multi-joint movements lifted at a relatively heavy intensity, a solid plan of progressive overload, follow up with high rep isolation movements, eat, sleep and repeat. Look into Jim Wendler 5/3/1, Paul Carter Base building, Christian Thibadeau Best damn workout for natties, Josh Bryant powerbuilding, Westside for skinny bastards, etc and find something you think you can stick to.
