how do you guys keep from burning muscle mass when you are also endurance training to build a nice six pack? i've been getting crazy times and gaining a ton of endurance, but my lifting is suffering. i'm lifting about 25% less on most workouts. any suggestions?
"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.
avoiding burning muscle during cardio?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
It could be your doing too much cardio before lifting. You wont actaully burn muscle mass while do cardio unless you have no carbs or no fat to burn. I would suggest only doing a little cardio as a warm up before you lift and leave your full cardio workout for another day.
You could try L glutamine. It is meant to keep muscle levels up when dieting or doing cardio. I've been using it since I started cutting and have experienced no noticeable muscle loss, though I can't guarantee that the L glutamine is responsible for that. However, you should always keep your protein levels up.
Losing strength while cutting is natural, but I wouldn't worry about it as you can't make any gains while cutting, so as long as the lifting is taxing your muscles you're doing enough for maintenance.

"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.

Look at it from another angle. 20mins intensity training/ intervals will not break down muscle, infact I heard it can boost GH levels.
If you are only doing endurance training to lose body fat, maybe drop them and just do intervals instead.

Yeah intervals are more effective.
Just for fun, compare the bodies of endurance runners and sprinters like Maurice Green. Which kind of body do you want?

HIIT is the answer to all of your questions.

No HIIT is not the answer. If you dont want to burn muscle DO NOT jog or run. Do 45-60 minutes of moderate cardio 7 days a week. I do the treadmill at a 11 degree incline at about 3.5 mph. When you are at the gym take a look at the people hauling ass on the treadmill, do they look big and ripped? Didn't think so. Now look at the actual bodybuilders, what are they doing? Usually riding the bike slow for a long time or doing slow treadmill. I wasted a long time with HIIT before doing what I suggested above and I have dropped bodyfat and my arms have grown 2" so I am gaining muscle as well. I am currently cutting yet still gaining muscle.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Do your cardio on an empty stomach (just after you get up of a morning). Get up 30 minutes early before work or school if you have too.
Your body will dip straight into your fat content to get the sugar it needs for the cardio. (or something to that effect). This is recommended by many great books and training reigemes throughout the world. And from my vast experience of observation, works very very well.
