"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.

"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.

Depends what your goals are.

A middle-of-the-road setup would be this:

30 minutes pre-workout:

5g BCAAs
a thermo/caffeine tab
a banana, optional

Halfway through workout:

sip on your protein shake and take 2-3g BCAAs

After workout:

Immediately after, take 60-80g of carbs through dextrose or just some fast acting carbs. Fruit is fine, banana's are good.

10 minutes later, take 60-80g protein preferably whey isolate with some glutamine mixed in.

I've seen a lot of stuff that shows that a preworkout shake may be more effective than a postworkout one.

This is my work out routine:

8:30am Beef/olive oil/fish oil/milk
10:30 Protein drink and banana
11:30 Lift. Drink 30g bcaa during
~1pm PWO Drink of whey and 40g of waxy maize carbs (this stuff is just as cheap as gatorade powder so i started buying it all the time...)
~2pm PPWO Meal - Chicken and carbs (raisins, whole wheat spaghetti, apple...)



So in the end the answer is both, but if I had to pick one I'd say it's the preworkout meal. It's the one in you and digesting and sending amino acids through you while working out and limiting muscle breakdown and such. But really i doubt it's really THAT important.
