"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Hey ive been following diesels guide and am finding good results. Averaging about 2lbs a week for a first few weeks. I was just wondering if I should still be working on my abs during bulking?

Also peanut butter sandwichs are good right? I eat about 3 a day lol
 

"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.

Bit too much, drop it to 1lb per week max. Yes work your abs during bulking, so they grow nice and thick. Then when you cut you'll have decent abs to reveal. No point working them loads when you're cutting because they won't be growing much. No peanut butter sandwiches are not good, thats fat and carbs. Your meals should be based around protein first, then carbs and/or fats where necessary.

Rampage: yeah, but not complete protein. It's missing amino acids so by itself won't be used for muscle growth (but combined with the incomplete protein from bread, who knows...)

If you handle carbs alright and need the calories, by all means go for it, get those high cal snacks down. But you need to be eating lots of complete protein, so you'd probably do better substituting that sandwich for a whey+raw egg shake mate.

there is protein in peanut butter dufass
Yes but it's still fat and carbs and not based around protein first because there is little protein and plenty of fat and carbs.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

hey thanks for the quick replies. Im only 6'0 170lbs so I figured the PB was good for me.. I need the calories. I need to get about 3700 or so and the peanut butter is a big help.

I get lots of protein. I drink 2 whey shakes a day and usually a chicken breast, legs, etc for dinner and such.

Calories need to be from the right stuff mate, no point bulking up on too many fat and carbs. You need more protein, 5 meals a day plus post workout shake is what's needed. Try and get 40g + of protein in each meal, even more PWO and dinner. Use most of your carbs at breakfast and either side of training, with fats in sedentary periods. It's going to be a bit uncomfortable eating lots of protein, but that's whats needed.

From what I've heard, once you get your protein requirement in, it doesn't matter what else you eat.

Some article I read it mentioned a body builder who eats 10 hamburgers a day from McDonalds during his bulking phase

Yes there's some merit to that, depends how cleanly you want to bulk and how easily the fat will come off at the end of a bulk. Some BBers bulk up loads off season, are fat, then get ripped for comp and it works well. But for recreational trainers it's not wise to get fat throughout the year.
