"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.

"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.

Yep, they must, but as for me, I am focusing on the pectoral muscles. The one muscles I refuse to workout alone are the traps, because I think they make you look stupid if you have a small head, haha.

"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.

dude, i'm shocked. 3 months ago i did 2 sets of dips. you didn't read about them!!!???

lol, i've been over at bodybuilding.com reading some stuff and apparently dips are essential for triceps as well as chest, so i'm totally up for them now. cg benches too, haven't done them in fukkin ages

can someone help me out with their tricep workout suggestion- http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/iovate1.htm
the routine comes to 17 sets!!!, am i missing something or is this far too much for muscle muilding?

cheers lifeforce, ye my delts have always been good. unfortunately my gym only has 20kg dbs max lol!! i'm thinkin of spendin an extra £20 this month to get myself to a proper gym.

So much definition everywhere just now, i just really need some mass. Last week i was ill. i don't know if anyone's ever taken flaxseed oil tablets but i reckon that's what fvcked my stomach over. i couldn't even eat one bit of chicken.
the doc gave me some tablets so i'm hungry as ever. can't wait to go loopy at the gym this week

dips are good for shoulders as well, even when you dont seem to need to better them.

double I'm shocked! I don't remember them either.. but they were around 150 kg a hand. :D

yeah.. spend some more money on a better gym. I'm switching this month too. Need a gym which is colder than a sauna. Anyway.. I think 17 sets are way too much. I just started doing 3 sets of dips and 3 sets of skull crushers. Triceps are dead today. So follow the dipsmania double started and some cgbenches or skull crushers in addition.

where are you at weight wize now gav? You said you had hit 152 lbs I think. You've lost much now when you were sick?

“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.

Dude didn't you used to do alot more free weights?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

yeah, free weights is basically all I do.... they are supposed to be better for you too since they use more muscles (stabilizers, etc.). I always heard machines are easier for this one reason. You've got some good lifts there gav, keep it up.

If those squats are ATTG then you've made some serious improvements in the squat section.

Lifts are looking good.

oh ya dude im so cheered up now, i felt down because of my ****ty squats but now i feel again like on my 8th birthday where i have gotten my grey gameboy with yellow-black screen oh so happy!!

btw who you wanna fool with your acne bro? i have the impression that along with 4*80kg bench press your "training partner" maybe have cracked some dianabols in your "milk"
 

"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.
