"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.

Six reasons why aerobic work is counterproductive

"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.

it does sound like he made it up. there's no scientific evidence, even if the statements are believable.

actually they all are ridiculous.

1) aerobic exercise cannot plateau because there is nothing gained from it, only calories burnt / fat loss. it is impossible for your body to not be burning calories from any exercise.
2) if aerobic exercise made you slower, then how do sports which require speed, football, rugby, american football, players maintain their speed.
3) age determines metabolism, not the other way round
4) this is from physical stress, if you are physically stressed you are pushing too hard.
5) exercise releases endorphins which makes you feel happy. if you are feeling stressed from exercise, you are pushing yourself too hard.
6) ...? random, wheres the proof
 

"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.

Charles Poliquin is known for having come up with complete bullsh*t in the past. For example, he claimed that Ben Johnson squatted 3RM before his race in Seoul. The problem is that there were no weights in the warm up area in Seoul.

one problem with that thesis, poliquin didn't write the article. Next!

any exercise of any type, if it sufficiently stimulates the appetite, will cause the exerciser to eat more calories than burned, especially if the individual's diet is otherwise already out of control.

2) if aerobic exercise made you slower, then how do sports which require speed, football, rugby, american football, players maintain their speed.
each of these involves much more interval running than continuous distance running, particularly american football. even a long run or pass play's length is measured seconds and is by definition nearly always less than 100 yards.

3) age determines metabolism, not the other way round
age does not determine metabolism. aging (measured in years) generally contributes to a slower metabolism unless you take steps to counter this. aging (measured in damage to the body) accumulates from a number of different factors. he is speculatively proposing that oxidation from free radicals is a factor in this. he's hardly the only person to suggest this.

4) this is from physical stress, if you are physically stressed you are pushing too hard.
exactly. but can any of us, a priori, say how much is "too hard"? clearly, a posteriori, if you're working hard & not seeing results, you're probably working too hard ("overtraining"). but you may be working too hard relative to some other factor (say, caloric intake).

5) exercise releases endorphins which makes you feel happy. if you are feeling stressed from exercise, you are pushing yourself too hard.
if exercise always made people happy, everyone would exercise. does that mean that most people who exercise (and eventually quit) are (were) pushing themselves too hard?

6) ...? random, wheres the proof
try the interval training he describes in "Part 2"...that will be your proof. plenty of evidence supports the idea that interval training is superior to steady state cardio.

Sports that are performed in intervals should be trained with intervals.

Training your one mile run is stupid if you are training for football.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

One mile run isn't strictly aerobic if you do in 5 minutes, mrRuckus.
Now your 5km time, sure.

Aerobic work isn't optimal, but it's not bad. Think of nearly all the old school boxers, and hell, half of todays at least - all the greats used to go for long early morning runs, which is "bad" for all sorts of reasons but it worked for them, so!
