"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.

Well, this is my new training journal, I hope you enjoy following it.

I've had a training journal before, but I've always had interruptions just as I was gaining some pace, and as a result I moved slower than I really should've.

I'm now at Uni and there's nothing standing in my way :)

I have the privilege of being trained by EFFORT. My goals are size and strength via eventually working my way up to big squats, bench and deadlifts, hopefully over the next 3 or 4 years.

I hadn't trained properly for 6 weeks due to settling into Uni and my diet's been horrible, so I've lost quite a bit of strength. I currently weigh 147lbs, I was about 152 before Uni started. My maxes at that time were:

Squat, 65kgx3
Rack deadlift, 115kgx3
Bench press, 60kgx3

Overall small numbers at the moment, but I have the dedication to have fun working towards my goals, and a fvcking great trainer.

The current routine is gonna last for the next 6 weeks.

Cheers,
Shaun
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Cheers Tom, Quag.

Aye, it's a westside mod :)

There's no interruptions now like there was before (i.e. two weeks out of the gym out of nowhere), so I won't be doing two steps forward and one step back like before. I'm looking forward to it.

It's good to see your training is going REALLY well Quag, it's fun following your lifting :)

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'm curious, were the first two squat sets primers for the 20 repper?

added to training journals thread.

Don't worry about the numbers you have now.. spend your energy on the weight you'll be adding to it next workout.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"Squats, 47.5kgx4, 47.5kgx4, 40kgx20"

Just baffled me slightly. Can you shed any light? 7.5kg drop to add 16reps? What's going on :confused:
