"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.

I just got back to the gym after kind of a long absence and it feels good haha. But one question I have... before I lifted at school with my friends and I had people to spot me on the bench but now I joined a new gym for the summer and I don't know anyone there. Is it weird to ask someone else working out if they want to do bench with you or to spot you... or ask the staff? The place does PT so most of them have patients this might be a dumb question so sorry if it is lol.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I have trained by myself for ages now, only training buddy I ever had couldnt be assed to go training so I had to do it by myself...I never ask any one for a spot either. Though I've been asked to spot some people before. Once i was asked to spot this guy that was probably twice my size...i could barely pick up the weight so ****s knows what would have happened if he got pinned or some ****, he would have probably died hahahaha

I personally bench in the power rack, but there is nothing wrong with asking somebody at the gym for a spot. I wouldn't ask an employee, but just walk up to somebody when they finish their set and ask if they wouldn't mind giving you a spot. Never bother somebody in the middle of a set, unless ofcourse you feel content with an olympic bar being shoved up your a$$.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Oh yeah I know what you're talking about now... that's what they have for squatting there. So you just move the bench in there and set the safety catches where you can set the bar down if u fail?
