"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.

workout today (back/biceps) was very hard due to the cardio taking its toll i think.

I could lift the same weight in most sets but they were MUCH harder than usual.

Dont think my body is getting enough rest with cardio and weights.
 

"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.

HIIT will definitely hurt your recovery bro, which is why I'd go for long steady state cardio anytime - equally effective in burning the fat if you do it long enough.

Alternatively, make your moderate jog five minutes.. as I assume it's a warmup to your HIIT?

"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'd skip the jog if I were you - save 100% effort for your HIIT. Warm up for the HIIT with a 4-5 minute jog if you like though.

10 minute jog

2 minutes HIIT

rest

1 minutes HIIT

rest

1 minute HIIT

Could only do this amount as my lower legs (around the ankle area) are KILLING me. they are so stiff and sore its sometimes hard to walk/jog on them.

think im doing too much?

would 2 days cardio be a waste? i want to keep the 3 day cradio thing going but am getting worried about injuring my legs.

"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.

crap, crap, crap, damn 30 minutes of cardio last night took its toll today on my leg day - i was physically and mentally exhausted throughout the whole session.

might just stick with 10mins jog and 9+mins HIIT from now on.
 

"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.

LIFE: no probs, thanks for the reply. i still look pretty much the same as the last time ya saw me. have to start eating more once i get my bf% down to about 14%. What do you mean by:

I was down to 55 when I changed the grip in the bench so I know what it's like.
My grip is wide enough - about level with my elbow. I dunno how im gonna get stronger on ANY of the lifts - eating more has been suggested and I will do that but dont have the money for extra food at the moment - soon though.

Any other ideas? Cheers

DOUBLE: i dunno why my biceps are lacking - cant seem to lift heavier on any exercise these days! Kinda frustrating really! :)

Ohh, I mean It is frustrating when you loose strenght, not that you are not keeping wide enough grip.

What's your BF at the moment?

The only suggestion is to eat more when you get money. Meanwhile there's not much you can do. :/

cheers life

i kinda know how eating more makes you bigger/stronger - but will eating more not just put on more fat and keep me at the strength i am?

i.e. can you explain in detail how eating more makes you stronger/bigger?

cheers

CARDIO 9 AUGUST 2005

None today as am totally tired after squatting and deadlifting yesterday - a rest will do me good.
