"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Bulking and cutting

Guys, I need your advice. When I cut (2000cals, more than 2g protein per kg weight, LC) I usually loose 1kg muscle for each 2kg of fat I loose. When I bulk (3000cals, 2g protein per kg weight, LC) I usually gain slightly less than 2kg of fat for each 1kg of gained muslce. That means that, over time, I am basically not going anywhere in terms of body composition.

What can I do to offset that ratio and maybe gain more muslce when bulking and/or loose less muscle when cutting?

Some people write I should do lot of strangth training at least 5 times a week when cutting (I dont understand that since that process is catabolic and breaks down muscle and should hence add to my muscle loss). Then people write that you can exercise about 3 times a week during bulking despite adding like 500cals to the diet and maybe reducing protein intake.
 

"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.

In order to cut and save muscle you need to keep cortisol low so avoid stress at all cost and when not possible buy supplements that do it for you.

Lean xtreme works as a blessing and the before 2013 versione even more, it was almost as running a cycle.

Here you go dude.

This video basically tells me that it doesn't matter what you do long term, the result is same. In my case I am not seeing much progress at all in term of composition for about a year which means I do something wrong but cant figure out what.

Thanks for the tip
 

"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.
