"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.

Lets say you go to bed at about 12, wake up at 11-12am (day off! :)) and then perform cardio? Is this bad?

What Im trying to say is, if you go 10+ hours without food and you perform low intensity cardio (jogging) will it still shed that BF or muscle?

Thanks.
 

"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.

Yeah, more than likely both, but still unhealthy. You need to get something into your system before you work-out. Just be sure not to work out right after eating something.

i've been putting like half a glass of whey next to my bed. I typically wake up 5-6 hours into the night having to pee so i figure while i'm up i might as well recharge a bit of protein before falling back asleep.

..that way i don't ever go that many hours without SOMETHING in my body. I can't believe you'd sleep 10-12 hours STRAIGHT without waking up once. If i ever sleep that long it's because i've woken up and decided to go back to sleep a few times... though my gf has been known to sleep that long uninterrupted but... just don't think it's that common, is it?
 

"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.

How often is this going to happen that it'll really make a difference overall? You'd be better off figuring out why you need to sleep that long.

Allright here's what i do.

Wake up and have 2 scoops of whey, no carbs whatsoever. When you wake up your body is in a catabolic state, its like a sponge and will use whatever nutrients you feed it. If you give it protein it will soak them up and protein will go straight to your muscles minimising muscle loss. NOW you go for a run, and what does your body do for energy? Well it can't use protein so it has to go to its natural energy stores, which is your BF.

Summary:
Wake up
2 scoops whey
Cardio workout
More whey

thanks for that sammo.

so the protein goes straight to your muscles, your body doesnt use that for energy whatsoever?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Try buying some casein protein. It's slow digesting so it maintains your metabolism and protein absorbtion over night. Whey isn't the best idea at night since it is absorbed so quickly into the body. This plus whey in the morning will maintain your metabolism throughout your sleep and jumpstart it again in the morning.

Protein is not an energy source. As a result cardio will be more difficult as you will be carb depleted but you can up them after your workout. You will burn more calories and more fat if you excercise without carbs. NOTE: Try to get carbs for a workout in the gym though, they need to count.

Bingo, so add that to the top of my summary:

Pre-bed casein protein w/ water
OPTIONAL wake up and have more casein protein w/ water.
Then when you wake up what i said before.
