"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.

I am going to be working out all this summer and plan to continue to when school starts. I have an idea of what I am going to be doing, but I have a few questions.

How much/what should I eat, should I eat before or after or both?

I want to run a mile everyday before my workout, is this okay?

I am going to the gym everyday, running a mile then doing this workout http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=712752 for 3 days, and just swimming in the pool for the other 4 days of the week. Is this okay or should I only go to the gym for those 3 days for that workout and not swimming in the pool?
 

"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.

1 book is all you need:

The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding - Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Dobbins.

Can be had for under $20.
 

"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.

Be stronger-check.

Look better-define. Do you want to add 10lbs, or are you looking for a bigger transformation? Do you just want to lose some fat? Both?

The workout is good, stick with it. Look for Efforts Simple starting diet in the vault. It can be tweaked depending on your goals.

I like the swimming the other four days of the week-something like 30-45 minutes at a low-mod intensity will benefit recovery among other things, however the running is counterproductive to both strength and muscle gain. If you are looking to improve conditioning, I would recommend starting with one HIIT (high intensity interval training) once per week, and go from there. Such as on a rowing machine, elliptical, bike. Starting like this: 1 minute easy, 30s all out, and repeat 3 times. Week by week you increase until you are in the 15 minute range. Do this following one of your workouts as long as your legs aren't too toasted, if they are, sub it for a swimming day.

Make a log, and good luck.
