"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.

"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.

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.

“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.

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?

When I train back next i'm gonna thrash your little record for the funo of it :crackup:
 

"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.

i'm only on the smith for another month, but as far as i can see my arms aren't too fvcked up just now.

my legs on the other hand are fvcked i reckon because of the smith. with every ATTG squat i make, on the way back up my left hamstring hurts like hell! - anyone else get that?
one more month before i can start squatting properly again.

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

"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.

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"
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
