"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.

Every person is different. I wanted to check how you are when you go to the gym. Do you scream, do you drop your weights or slam them when you have lifted something heavy. Or are you quite and peaceful?

Do you think it's ok to scream or is it bad. ? What do you think of people who toss weights? Tell me =)

BTW: I grunt when I lift heavy and drop and slam the weights when I break a record or something.
 

"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.

Don't we have a single screamer on this board ?

By slamming I mean, maybe breaking the record in benching and letting the bar down in the powerrack with a slam. Just to show the weight you conquered it.
 

"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 am quiet but I drop my dumbbells because i can't hold them anymore. One time I dropped it on my right eye. It really hurt, but yeah, I train at home.

Kerensky, I want to start lifting at home. What do you do for a spotter?

I don't have a spotter. I use dumbbells and pray that I don't drop stuff on my head. If I had more money I would get a barbell rack.

Lifeforce: I just kinda go FFFFFFF with my mouth and breathe and swear under my breath cuz my parents are like directly upstairs. I don't think they'd let me work out by myself anymore if I started screaming. But yeah, I said the black eye was from falling out of my bed and I hit the chair.
 

"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.

If you're alone db is the way to go, you don't need a spotter for those. Sorry about your black eye though, I dropped a db in my head when I did arnold presses, and it really hurted!

Many people who go FFFFFFFFFF in this thread.... I go FFFFFFFFF to... and do alot of ugly faces. When I lift heavy people tell me I smile. That's weird.

well I have my own gym in the backyard. I scream when there's no one and im trying to fight the weighti. I do that when it takes me more than 30 seconds to push the freaking thing up. It would be at a stale mate where I can't seem to get it up pass the half way point. I'll be telling my friend(spotter) DONT HELP!! ARRRRR!!!! Until I get it. haha I don't know about you, but it gives me an adrenaline, trying to conquer that weight. BUTTTT of course when I'm at the gym which I don't go to anymore, I never screamed. That's just embarrassing. haha
There are some people out there that judge you coz you scream also. "look at that fool, he thinks screaming will help him!"

As for slamming the weights, hell no I don't do that. That would ruin my floor or injur me!
