"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Stats:

Age: 18 yrs. old.
Height: 6'0.
Weight: ~185 lbs.
Bf: 15-20% (Estimate)


Program:

Currently following a three day split on Mon., Wed., and Friday.

Alternating excercises at the moment as per WBA's instructions. As of now, there is no "routine" that is set in stone.

Will update when there is a solid, stable routine.


Lifts:

Will eventually update maxes here.


Goals:

Ideally, I'd like to gain as much muscle as possible in two to three months in preperation for rugby season. However, I'm seriously considering putting off rugby for this year and training until next September in order to put on as much weight as I want.

Eventually, I'd like to be around 215 lbs. at 10-12% bodyfat.


Diet:

Getting my diet in order gradually. Is tough but alot easier when I cook for the entire week. I eat a ton of veggies. Love them. This is what my diet looks like right now...

Meal 1: 7:30 a.m.

Shake -

Three whole eggs (raw)
1.5 scoops whey
100 g oatmeal
Apple

(Fish oil and multivitamin)

Meal 2: 11:00 a.m.

Spaghetti -

250g beef

(Fish oil)

Meal 3: 2:00 p.m.

Two sandwhiches on whole grain wheat -

250g (combined) ham/turkey/roastbeef
Little mustard/mayo
Apple

Meal 4: 5:00 p.m.

Pure boringness -

200g ground beef, liberally spiced.
Lots of veggies.
1 tsp OO

(Fish oil)

Meal 5: 7:00 p.m.

Pure boringness (II) -

200g ground beef, liberally spiced.
Lots and lots of veggies.
1 tsp OO

(Fish oil)

Meal 6: Throughout the day...

Shake:

Eight whole eggs (raw)
1 scoop whey
Small amount of heavy cream
Cinnamon

Overview:

Had a death in the family recently so have not been hitting the weights for a little while. Really looking forward to slipping back in and gaining some weight.

Going for strength. Eventually to the level of 300 press, 400 squat, 500 dl.

:)
 

"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.

Friday, October 26:

Paused box squats, up to 5 x 130 lbs., Wow. That's all I can say. I must have been doing quarter squats or something before. This felt amazing. Stacked a couple of plates and went all the way down. Feels like my hips are so amazingly weak. Looking forward to squatting like this from now on.


Rack pulls, 5 x 3 x 175 lbs. Still felt really weak on these. Probably due to my first time ever doing real squats. :p


Leg raises


Weighted abs


Overall, workout felt great. Pumped that I've finally felt how to truly squat low enough.

Hey buddy.

Good work, time will tell whether you get the results you want. Eat smart and train with a vengeance, and you'll get there. Stay motivated!

Added your journal to the crew.

cheers mate
 

"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.

Good to see you getting into it.

Just to be thorough, how far below parallel was the box for squats and how far below knee level were the rack pulls>?

Around 2-2.5" below the knees on the rack pulls.

As low as possible on the box squats. Think I had three plates, maybe four. Can't believe I can't remember. Will check today when I go to the gym.

Rack numbers are where they should be. Box is fine as well. Continue...:)

Monday, October 29:

PL-style bench press, 3 x 3 x 165 lbs., Felt so weak but still felt pretty good. Shaking pretty hard after the third set.


DB press, 3 x 10 x 60's lbs.


Standing barbell rows, 4 x 10 x 115 lbs., I like these.


Lateral Raises, 2 x 25's lbs.


Weighted abs


Overall, good workout.

Diet has been on spot. Feel stuffed ALL the time. :(
 

"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.

Log everything, including diet deviations, cheat meals.. how sore you are, if you feel more energetic/lethargic than usual, etc.

Cardio is part of the puzzle and must be done.

If you'd prefer to email me that's fine but I think it's easier to put it all here.

I'm fine putting everything here...

My legs were sore after Friday's workout for two days. My chest is sore today from yesterday's workout.

I havn't really deviated from the diet besides to have coffee every now and then in the morning. I try my hardest to eat my meals on the clock. Figure I'll put all my work to waste if I deviate too much.

I feel energetic all the time. I play ultimate frisbee, football, or softball/baseball at least twice a week.

I usually walk at a moderate pace for about 30 minutes about 5:30 in the morning after eating an apple. I go to the gym around noon every day. Have access to the University gym so go there. Is amazingly busy at all times but noon.

Will try making this standard from now on. Will also try to be faster with it. Should do it at the end of the day instead of a few days later.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

1. apples are not water-based fruit like citrus fruits are
2. I tried the fruit cardio and it didn't work as well as fasted cardio. BCAAs are best pre cardio, or whey
