It is bound to have something that interests you, guys. From losing weight really quickly and easily, to gaining muscle the same way, to giving a woman wild cums, and on and on. Big, hardback book, order it thru your local library's INTERLIBRARY BOOK LOAN SYSTEM
"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'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.

Have read it ...
Its about 25% accurate and 75% inaccurate.
Read it with a mouthful of salt.

"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.

Anybody who has actually paid their dues in the gym understands that everyone who builds a great body through hard work (rather than winning the genetic lottery or pharmaceutical assistance), follows the same principles.
I was intruiged by some of his methods and ideas, and respect his meticulous nature.
ie. multiple methods of adipose % testing.
ie. taking pics of your food instead of writing it, if you're the lazy type.
ie. close monitoring of bloodwork.
But no one builds muscle that fast. I do not have the book infront of me so I can't reference it. I just remember him mentioning building 34lbs of muscle in just a few weeks. (or something equally absurd that no one else can replicate).
I don't discount him entirely because he is a great guinnea pig, therefore good source of non-scientific but greater-than-anecdotal evidence.
But if you want to only spend 4hrs a month doing exercise, and hoping to build an admirable physique ...
Then sorry you are going to be disappointed 100 times out of 100.

What are your lifts?goundra said:Wrongo, some, who have the necssary DISCIPLINE, can do it. Others, lacking that same discipline, want to blame the messenger.
Bodyfat percentage?
Current status in relative to your goals?
How can you claim he knows what he's talking about? I'm not saying he doesn't, but you are adament that his method works. How are you so sure?
Not saying you're wrong. Theres so much variation in this world that almost anything is possible. But after spending 6+ years doing various types of physical training, I'm somewhat skeptical.
This thread should be in H&F anyways ... Moved.
I've read the book. He has some mistakes in there of course, but I also follow his blog and he addresses them. His strength training method is definitely better than the conventional stuff. He uses a slow burn protocol, similar to a body by science routine.
Science > personal experience
I'm not addressing anyone personally here, this is just my take on this topic. Conventional wisdom says no one can lose fat and gain muscle quickly. That's true following the conventional wisdom method of doing so.
This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein

His strength training method is in no way better than the conventional. Very few people respond to such minimal training without anabolic aids. When it comes to supplements etc then yes science>experience but with regards to weight training experience>science.
Goundra, yes he puts in a few pictures of his experience which frankly don't look like the same person. Nothing is verified, no word on whether anabolics are used etc. A lot of this book is bull****.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
