"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

"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.

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
 

"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.
