"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.

"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.

Oh there will be comparisons my friend. This transformation is going to blow minds. It's going to be one of those "holy sh1t I can't believe he actually used to look like that" transformations.

Squat: 3x5x185
Bench: 1x5x185, 2x5x195
Deadlift: 1x5x225

Going to keep squats at 185 to see if my knee flairs up again. 185 was the weight where I decided "hurrrrr I can add 20 more pounds derp" and ****ed my **** up in the first place. No discomfort or swelling. I also made sure I was pushing from the heels and using hip drive.

185 On the bench felt like childs play so I upped it to 195. I wanted to put another 5 on for an even 200 for the last set but remembered my knee and decided to keep it where it was.

I tried sumo deadlifts. These are extremely comfortable and I feel like I can pull every weight in the gym when I do them (probably the slightly decreased ROM). They don't seem to put as much stress of the lower back while putting more stress on the hams and quads. Is there any reason I shouldn't do sumo deads?

OHP: 3X5X140
Squat: 3x5x190

Swam for around an hour as well. Didn't have time to do pendlays. You basically have 3 times of the day where my local YMCA is not filled with bros waiting to curl in the power rack; really early (6am), late afternoon (2-3pm) and late (9pm). I missed my first two windows due to swimming and not getting to sleep until 5 or 6am. Going to the doctor as soon as I'm insured to fix that.

Ate around 2200 calories and burned over 3000 (or so fitday tells me) Good start to my journey to 12%.
