"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.

I'm gunning for the 500kg club this year as it's all metric around here, but I'm very close to a 1000lbs total at 435kg ~ 957lbs. BW is 80kg or 176lbs.

Squat 155kg
Bench 95kg
Deadlift 185kg

My next 3 months training cycle I'm going for

Squat 170kg
Bench 105kg
Deadlift 200kg

Total 475kg ~ 1045 lbs, BW aiming for between 75kg and 80kg (let's say ~170lbs)

Lifts all done raw, no belt, no wrap, no strap.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

A better place, a better time.
Thanks for the bump Drum.

I just barely got in last night.

340 Squat
240 Bench
425 Deadlift

All raw/barefoot as you said. Squat is down deep and bench touches the chest. 1,100 is the next milestone to shoot for, so you'll be hearing back from me when I make it there.

I recently passed the 1500 raw barrier. (505 sq, 405 b, 600 d) Next is the 1600 club and top 50 @ 242!

Also upcoming is the 300 lb overhead press. About 20 lbs to go....
 

"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.

You're already a big boy w/ a great strength base. Nice place to be when shooting for a 6-700 lb deadlift!! Good luck! You should post a workout journal to keep track of your progress.
 

"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.
