"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

To cut or bulk?

Hey everybody,

I'm got a question and would benefit a lot from everyone's opinion. I'm a 5'9, 170 pound, 17-year old and I don't know if I should bulk or cut. I'm afraid if I start bulking I'm going to gain a LOT of weight quick. I lift 5 times a week and I'm about to start track so I'll be doing a lot of work to take off the weight before it makes too big of an impact.

Currently I look pretty good. My arms and muscles are not what I want them to be yet though. Will this come naturally through the cutting or should I bulk up to 180 or even around 190? I really do not know.

If this is a common question I'm sorry but any advice would be great. Thank you.

A Ron
 

"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.

Look into powerlifting and more specifically "Westside" routines.

Don't worry about your weight. Worry about getting better at your event.

Try to get better at snatches and cleans. These exercises have been proven to make you more explosive = faster runner.

If you dont want to do powelifting:

I think you should just wait it out for now. Try to maintain your weight through the track season. You aren't going to have enough time or energy to seriously cut, and you aren't going to have the calories necessary to bulk. Just wait it out. After the season is over, I think you should go with your instincts and start a cutting cycle. This is kind of a shot in the dark, but I would say cut down to around 150-155 and then bulk up to 180-185. After that, cut down to around 170-175 and you should be set. You dont really need to worry about all that yet.
