"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.

I've read somewhere that for fat loss, the best time for doing the cardio activity is at the morning, before eating anything.

Does anything like this apply to lifting weights?
 

"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.

cortisol levels are the lowest in the evening, which means you can make the most out of your workouts then.

also, running on an empty stomach is a great way to lose muscle mass.

early to mid afternoon when your body temperature is at its highest.

I believe the Skinnguy program says that?

For me, working out works best after I had i good meal 30-40 minutes before. Don't lift with an empty stomach.

I've read that running on an empty stomach doesn't do any further noticable harm if you actually eat "enough" proteins throughout the day.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I don't know about cardio before eating anything, but I tried to lift once like this. I was going to my classes (which usually starts 8 a.m.) and went to the gym BEFORE them.

Dude, it sucked big time. I couldn't lift a pen! :down:

But what I read was about cardio, that's why I'm asking.

I usually do cardio at 10 a.m., and when I wake up (around 8 a.m.) I eat like there's no tomorrow. :)

I used to lift/cardio at the evening, like MindOverMatter said. But for time reasons I changed it to 10 a.m.

So I stick around with my thing? :)

I do cardio right when i wake up. Noting crazy, just sit on a bike and pedal away til my heart rate is up and then watch tv or something for about 45 min. From what I've learned (coming from skinnyguy.net) you will be just doing cardio on an empty stomach.

I guess you could say there are two conditions, thought. I still workout three times a week to counter act a low caloric diet and the cardio which might cause a small mass loss. I also don't do any HIT type stuff, its just riding a bike at the same speed for 45 min. so you shouldn't be tearing down any muscle which needs repair, causing further muscle loss.

You shouldn't EVER lift weights on an empty stomach, thought. That's muscle suicide. :)
