"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.

Does any of you use bcaa aka amino. Currently I'm only on creatine monohydrate and I'm considering using it with bcaa. I heard they are good for more muscle growth and recovery. Any opinions?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

In my opinion it does help, but not enough to warrant a change to your work out schedule, which to me, makes it unnecessary unless I'm going on a long hike or working out super hard that day.

So you say it gave you more strength?

The more you get your protein from real food instead of supplements, the better and more well rounded your amino acid intake will be.
I agree food beats every supplement but you need a little kick to say.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I was curious about it too, until i realised you get them in every normal protein powder, making them completely unnecessary to buy separately and yet another confirmation that the industry is doing its best to sell you all bunch of sh1t that really only makes a difference on ELITE level.

If you're not elite, i'd say it's a waste.

Thanks for your opinion. I used protein powder but it didn't work for me at all. I'm using creatine every day for maybe 14 months now and it helped my a lot with growth and strength. My friend who is personal trainer told me that it's recommended to use bcaa with creatine for maximum results.

I've heard so many personal trainers in the gym who have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. Based on my research bcaa's are a complete scam to make money by the fitness industry. But do your own research, don't take my word for it.

For whatever reason the "Amino Fuel" product from Twin Labs does something... When I'm lean enough to see veins, the veins stand out stronger after taking this product. I shoot for 3000-5000 mg of L Arginine to get this effect. 2 servings of Amino Fuel works on me. That additional blood circulation and ensured Amino acid delivery on me reduces soreness after workouts ( literally removes it ) and thus aids recovery.

Check with whatever product on how it works on yourself. I don't want to say the market is all scams, but the truth of the matter is certain compounds will have a different effect on different people.

That being said most of my protein consumption is from real food. I might throw in one shake in a product such as Muscle Milk ( i add my amino fuel to this product. )

I have friends from the gym who have only positive experiences with bcaa. It helps quicker recovery and more cutting. I will try it from Monday combining it with creatine and see how will it work. Also I think protein powders are a big waste of money. It's better to invest that money in real food build with protein.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I should mention I also have a pain condition in my legs, so when I have soreness from working out, it can get really bad, so I'm quite sensitive to how I recover and taking the bcaa provided a noticeable difference.

I don't take any form of protein powder though, if you do, could save yourself $40, I don't use the stuff after a regular work out anyways

That's good. I also feel muscle pain from time to time when doing really hard workouts so I believe it's a good benefit thing. Have you ever tried efedra?
