Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

cheers gav,

Monday


deads
60k 12
70k 12
80k 12
90k 8
100k 6
110k 2
120 1

Got a training partner now and he manage 110k for 1. Hes bn training 2 weeks.....Plus hes lighter than me.... he wasnt doing as many reps on earlier sets though. Anyways, this is the competition I need to sky rocket them deads.

curls barbell
30k
35k
40k
35k
30k

db curls 20k each hand

lotsa reps

I'll write todays training, later. I'm doing benching but no way will I go as heavy as last week!

My diets not as air tight either. i weigh about 170lbs (jeans, tainers, tshirt)according to the scales in the dermotologist. The scales in the hous says 160lbs on a good day. The 1 in the dermotologists has to be right though, as it's for medication purposes.

My arms have hit 15"!!!!!
forearms 11 3/4.....
neck 16"
chest 42"ish
waist 29"....
legs 22"...
calves 14 1/2

forearms and shoulders are my main concern.

My training partner is annoying me a bit as he is a complete afc, and he wants to spend time with his ugly g/f instead of training. Shes always complaining n sh!t. He lives with her, and hes 19, shes 16. He is so controlled. Next training session i'll tell him if he misses anymore training sessions for stupid reasons, it's not worth him training at all! Stupid boy, I'd have him posessing god like strength in no time.
 

"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.

Because the ceiling in my gym isnt that high. I have a detatched bench and a squat rack, so I spin the bench around and WALLA, it's just so simple. It's scary how easy this is! I better start going hardcore on my triceps, next week. If I could get my mill press, and close grip bench both to 80kg for 4, my incline bench would have to be forced into the 100s. I might do a 5 day training week, and then take another week off.

Something like,

mon
back, biceps
trying to curls 2 25kg dumbells

tues
forearms/traps

weds
chest/triceps
tring to max out on 95k (can't see me lifting 100k again) or getting 6 reps on 90k

thurs
forearms/traps

fri
legs/shoulders
(2nd week back into squats) I want to squat 100kg 6-12 times on the last set. Also 80kg seated shoulder press, I'm scared....

Then I'll be dead for a week.
 

"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.

yes roaccutane influences the mood, espiacially at the beginning, how long did u take it? after one month you should see improvements
 

"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.

We all have some bad training sessions. you have really nice lifts, I especially like your dips, 25 kg or 30 kg after bench press. I managed a few reps on 15 after bench presses. Just a question, is there any reason you use dumbells instead off ordinary bar when you do biceps curls?

"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.

very good job solid, keep the bulking! 170lbs, what is your height?

however, one Q bothers me: do you think your chest is ok in the picture or still ugly?

I'm 5ft11. Only recently my chest isnt "ugly". You cant tell by that pic, but I do have a decent upper chest, not great tho.

Double, if u look carefully at my biceps pic i posted, you can see the mark where that bold guy, 220lber grabbed my arm.

I totally agree with the first reply on bb.com... you have a nice symmetry and pretty good mass. The only thing I pick up on is the lack off tan. You look great but you'd look fantastic with more tan.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
