"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

154lbs with trainers, shorts and tshirt. it can go up to 156 or 7 depending on the amount of **** i have in my body :D

man, you must be cut like hell if you're making those lifts and are still on the 11stone mark.

i'm not exactly settling for the way my body looks just now but i'm not making any really serious goals, cuz i don't want it to get in the way of my drinking with the guys. when i do drink though, it's vodka instead of beer. apparently they both have the same amount of nutritionless carbs, but i definitely get more of a belly with beer.

anyways man, good luck getting to 168. you deserve it with those lifts. did you buy that whey and creatine btw?

yes, their both working well. I have killed a part of my social life now, to focus completly on reaching this goal. It's weired as well, before, I was just lifting for vanity, and my gains werent great.

My right arm is just past 14 1/2 which is mad. I used to measure it everyday and now i've left it a while it grew. I'm training my forearms like mad, trying to get them to hit 12".

Creatine is amazing! My energy is scary, I woke up full of life for once.

Gav, whats your MSN?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Great to see you guys are still at it. Solid and I started creatine and bulk on the same day, kind off odd we both had the same idea.

Anyways good luck to both off you guys, hope you get back to your ordinary weight gav. Jump online once in a while will you.

"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.

It's time to get serious about this stuff once again. From Monday, i'm going on the Max OT programme and i'm going to follow it as strictly as possible. I'm buying whey and creatine tomorrow. No glutamine or any of that kind of stuff.

fvck knows what my weight is just now cuz i've been drinking again with hardly any food. fvckin bouncer didn't allow me into the club with peanuts. come monday morning though, weight should be 70kg with trainers and tshirt (this is how ill record my weight) = 154lbs
body is very cut, very lean; every muscle group is primed for working out.

GOALS
--------
MONDAY 24TH JANUARY : 154LBS, 70KG
MONDAY 31ST JANUARY : 156LBS, 71KG
MONDAY 7TH FEBRUARY : 158LBS, 72KG
MONDAY 14TH FEBRUARY: 160LBS, 73KG
MONDAY 21ST FEBRUARY: 162LBS, 74KG
MONDAY 28TH FEBRUARY: 164LBS, 75KG
MONDAY 7TH MARCH: 166LBS, 76KG
---------
NO FVCKING EXCUSES FOR NOT REACHING THESE TARGETS. 2 POUNDS A WEEK IS EXTREMELY POSSIBLE IF CONSISTENT IN TRAINING AND EATING.


i'm also gonna take djing seriously again because i really REALLY miss having the DJ attitude. it could get me through anything. i'd feel superior to everybody, probably just because of the fact that i knew i was on a path to selfimprovement while others around me weren't.

and another thing, i don't know ifs cuz of exam stress or because of lack of confidence or lack of working out or lack of djing, but my horniness levels have dropped far too much! i'm still whackin it only once a week. hopefully, the dj thing and the bulking programme will sort me out.

saturday and sunday: buy whey and creatine, read max ot, make workout and eating plans (think i'm gonna crank up the protein in each mea)l, read the ****in bible

No, It depends on the genetic type. There´re some people that work out and don´t progress much.

Phoinex, I strongly believe there is some mental part to growing muscle too, you have to wish it and know you can.
 

"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.

The way I see it is, yeh there are people with much better genetics who won't have too eat sooooo much but if I do everything almost perfect I can make very good gains, too. Especially as a beginner. But you have to be reallly really serious about it as a hardgainer, NO THINGS LIKE jerking off, drinking,smoking, eating only 4-5meals,eating not enough protein, getting not enough sleep, thinking I will fail. NO SUCH THINGS ARE ALLOWED!

Yest was a harsh training session. Forearms and a bit of strength testing the shoulders.

I held 2 5kg plates in a lateral position for 30 seconds, for a few sets. It was a killer!

loadsa wrist curls.

loadsa wrist rollers.

"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.
