"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Heheh, just wait 'til tomorrow.

I just did my first go at it (DB bench press monday, front squats tuesday and chinups wednesday) and my whole body is sore like it hasn't been in awhile. I think I like this :p

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Interesting, as most powerlifting routines tend to be.

I'd say DC was more productive than this. (haven't tried both though)

I don't understand week three.

WTF is 5-3-2 supposed to mean?

Anyway, I'm trying this on a 2-a-day, three days a week schedule for now.

One set of 5, one set of 3, one set of 2. I threw a change-up to my version though, and am doing 10 sets of 5 for each exercise (10 sets of 3 for chins and working my way up to 5)

Interesting, this is great way to isolate size and perhaps gain incredible strength and size. But I dunno, doing all that work for one body part in 45 min instead of 15 min seems pretty excessive. And... You're going to have to dedicate almost an entire hour per day doing this, then that's actually more work.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I hope I'll be able to walk in the morning. It took me 24 mins to do 5x8.

I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. This kind of program is for experienced lifters who have already developed a solid (REALLY solid) strength platform.

Personally, I'd advise someone lift for at least six months before smashing themselves through a program like this.

225 for 5 means doing 5 reps of 225 (in whatever weight that may be).

You'd have to change the weights to suit your own strength.

I did this today with pull ups, feels good to go all out in one workout. I will try this for while and see how it goes.
