"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.
basketball and bulking?

"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.

If you did read it, you'll see that playing basketball and bulking up don't mix.
When was the last time you saw a huge ass basketball player?
P.S. Shaq isn't that big (muscle mass wise) given his height.
Fvck Shaq, look at Karl Malone and David Robinson, they're fvcking huge.Originally posted by DIESEL

"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.

he's just ripped as fukk. Karl Malone isn't that big either, for his height.Originally posted by oatmealandtuna
Isn't David Robinson like 7 feet tall and only 250 pounds? For his height, he really isn't all that huge.

Look at programs like Michigan State, Cincinnati and a few others. They all used HIT training and their players are alot stronger than you think. They get pretty bulky too.
I have an article on the Michigan State program, it was a link off the cyberpump site. If I can find it, I'll post it. I know I printed it out once.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Bulk in the off-season.Originally posted by war_eagle
Does anyone know how to bulk while playing a sport like basketball? I need to get bigger but I'm not sure if I can bulk while playing. Should I take a break and come back?
During the season you just want to maintain what you gained during the off-season. Try to maintain the amount of weight you were lifting during the off-season but lower the volume(i.e. number of sets and reps). If you keep lifting heavy during the season you will suffer from DOMS and you won't be able to play as hard.
Try to focus on lower body explosiveness and do alot of plyometrics.
