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?
"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.
3 weeks no workout, muscle mass loss?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
"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.

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"?
