"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.

Doesn't bodyweight play a factor in determining how many situps a guy can do? I mean, if he's 270 lbs. and out-of-shape, I doubt he could do 5 pullups in a set.

But I do agree that one can increase the number of pulls if he does them frequently. This works for me, and I consider myself in great shape, yet I'm lucky to do more than 15 pullups in one set. I currently weigh 217 lbs.; when I weighed 240, I could do 7-8 pullups, and I was in shape at 240 lbs.

Starting pulls with palms-facing-you is good advice, by the way.

Supersetting pulls with lat pulldowns is an excellent way to increase strength. I don't use the lat pulldown anytime else, though.

Yes bodyweight plays a factor. Functional bodyweight is enforced for bodyweight exercises. That's why gymnasts are usually small. Strength/weight ratio needs to be high, bodyfat low.

If you can do more than 15 pull-ups in one set, you should try to do them weighted, it's will be a greater challenge.
 

"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 do wide grip pulls to get my lats. I don't like "chins" because they are too easy and I would rather do curls then chins. So far Im halfway dead at 13. Im gonna try the 5x5 thing and see how my results are.
