"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

It's been 1 week.

My BF went from 17.1% to 16.3% and it feels great!

btw, here's a tip. Don't like check your %BF and even weight everyday unless you're like...obsessive compulsive. It will feel like you're making no progress but weekly checks feel awesome!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Cool. What is your routine?

I like to check mine everyday just because I like to graph it and see results. OK, I'm a dork :)

Oh graphing is a good idea. I do my weight daily, but %BF weekly and my height monthly. Let me drag up my routine one second.

Full Body Workout 1
(weeks 1-6)

Tuesday - Friday - Sunday

Crunches 2x20
Leg Curls 2x12
DB-Bench Press 2x12
Lat Pulldowns 2x12
DB-Shoulder Press 2x12
DB-Tricep Overhead Extensions 2x12
DB-Curls 2x12
DB-Standing Calf Raises 2x15-20

Cardio 30 min. (elliptical/treadmill/bike/tennis)

I usually use 25-30 lb dumbbells for my exercises and maybe 50-60 lbs for the pulldowns/leg curls.

Yes, I know that is weak, but I am a noob and I'm getting better. :)

I'm going to graph it. Good idea mate! :up:

I read on BB.com that newbies should do fullbody workouts. I do a fullbody workout 3 days a week, with 1 day rest in between and 2 days somewhere in there.

Basically, they said this is the most basic way and it is better to do this at first than to do splits.

Before this, I had a 3 day split, but I was seeing little progress so I'm doing this and I think it is working for me.

Oh btw, I do cardio too. I used to be able to run for 5 min and friggin feel winded on the treadmill set at 5.0 mph (max...the thing is old).

Now I can run a good 10-15 min without stopping and I don't feel super winded either.
 

"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.

So since I'm not seeing big gains, and I'm 14, I should do all that on 1 day 3 days a week?
