"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.

Thanks for all the good input guys.

And just to clarify, i WILL NOT cut my hair. Trust me, getting tail isn't an issue, the girls love my hair, and my philosophy on hair is simply this:

If it's there, i'm happy.

As far as adding some mass i'm going to start training as best i can at high intensity. If anyone can give some advice as to get the most out of a half hour to an hour workout, i'd appreciate it.

Also, isn't doing most of the lifts mentioned dangerous without a spotter? Dead lifts, powercleans, bench ect.

One last question for now. If my three rep bench max is 155lbs, what wieght should i train with and how many sets of how many reps?
 

"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.

Hmm, I'm not sure why you feel there's only one way to go with this issue. True Wolf is clearly a rock/indie kinda guy (see his guitar in the background?) - loads of chicks love this style..

In that case, what type of haircut do you recommend?

Cheers,

:) I posted a link to what type of haircut. But back to tee dub.


Benches, Squats and anything where the bar is over your body, could be potentially dangerous without a spotter. Yes. Which is why you get a spotter, and get one that knows what their doing. If the weight starts going back down, they either help it UP, or keep it from landing on you (such is the case with dumbell work)

search for the "idiot's guide to growth" -- WBA has covered it all and then some.

it's easy in most gyms to grab a spotter for a couple sets of bench pressing after you're warmed up.

a properly adjusted squat rack is sufficient to keep you out of trouble once you have proper form down on squats.

i don't understand why you would want or need a spotter for deadlifts or power cleans. i'm not even sure where a spotter would stand w/o putting himself in more peril than the lifter.....
 

"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.
