"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.

"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 dont think surpassing 190lbs on a 5'10 or smaller frame will look aesthetically pleasing even at low body fat. i think its also best to target a body fat level which is healthy/easier to maintain which also shows adequate definition then a lower body fat which is harder to maintain and unhealthier.

Height: 5'10"
Weight 180 lbs ( can me more can be less due to water intake and loss)

Goal:

Weight: Maybe a bit over 200 lbs.

I want to add more power and speed to my game, but there is a vertain point where a guy my height will be hindered by extra mass. At this point, I will continue to lift to maintain size but gain strength.

since I am such a slow gainer, I have not given this much thought.

Goal:

Weight: 195+ / 8%BF

I really dont care what weight I am. It's the feeling I get from the gym, and the ever increasing, skin stretching, muscle bulging pump that gets better with the increased amounts of muscle on me. I'm only 18, it wouldnt suprise me if I end up in the 210's.

I dont know about anyone else, but I dont think I'll ever be happy with how I look. I'll always want a bigger chest and bigger lats. When they look huge, I need bigger guns, and then need huge traps and hams to go with it. It's a never ending cycle, and I wouldnt want it any other way.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Its a small goal, but I cant go over 170 lbs because I polevault and thats the biggest pole they have, 170 lbs.

Once I hit 170 I will start doing higher reps with the weight I have reached on my lifts :)

Started

Weight: 118 lbs
Height: 5'7
B/f% = 8%

Now

Weight: 162 lbs
Height 5'7
B/f% = less than 10%

Goal

Weight: 165 lbs
Height: 5'7
B/f% = 8%

So basically, my goal is to gain 3 more pounds and lose 2% b/f. This should be easy and will take like a month. Lol. I'm almost there. :)

"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.

Hey pros, I'm a noob at this still and I've basically cut a lot (used to be 180 lbs, 5'8" :( )

Anyways, can someone give me some realistic goals? Thanks. I'm looking for that lean strong look, as opposed to the bodybuilder look with like 30" biceps.

;) I don't think body builders do have 30" arms lol.. maybe 20+ but not that big...

I dunno all I can suggest is workout your arms at least once a week.

Do curls of some sort for your biceps.

and bench press & dips for your Triceps.

keep sets of reps of 6 - 8 usually work best

Eat plenty of protein and carbs

When you measure your biceps you measure them flexed ..but cold (i.e not straight away a workout when they are pumped)
