The gym I use for weight training is at school, and I have about 3 weeks Christmas break. So that's three weeks with no gym. All I can do is run. How much muscle mass/strength will I lose in three weeks of abject laziness?
"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.
3 weeks no workout, muscle mass loss?

"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.

initially you may lose a little strength but your body will adapt and start growing again. I recommend you do some calisthenics along with the running. just keep eating well and your body will take care of itself

If you keep up with your diet and dont do too much running you should be ok. You will lose a little strength and muscle, but it shouldnt be significant.
I would however look into cost and availability of other gyms. Even if its just one or two workouts in the middle of the 3 week break just too keep up your gains.

In the case you lose a few grams of muscle mass muscle memory will restore those grams within a couple of weeks, provided you work out and eat enough protein.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Hey guys, do you think that gaining 6.6 lb in 2 months of workout is a good thing? or is it under the "normal"?
