"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.

Anyone heard of this???

Story is, I struggle with 125 pounds on the bench. My manager and I go to the same gym and he says were going to do teardowns today and well have you benching 185 in three weeks... WTF? Is he full of it or what?

Basically he says we'll put 185 on the bar and I'll slowly lower it and he'll help me bring it back up. So again, is he full of it?
 

"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.

he means negative-only benches which are dangerous. just stick with normal benching.
 

"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.

He got the down part right too, you'll be down alright.


If the weight is too heavy for you to even do a negative with, then you will drop that bar directly on your chest. Sounds exciting doesn't it? Cracked sternum, broken ribs or punctured lung is TOTALLY worth benching 185...

Not saying that WOULD happen, but it's definitely a possibility, and a large one at that.
