"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.

I read in a couple places that doing cardio after a weights session helps to burn fat because the weights use up all your glycogen so the cardio goes straight to burning fat. Is this true and would doing so harm muscle gains in the weight room?
 

"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.

apparently all cardio harms weight gain. In regards to the cardio after weights, if you must do the cardio i believe it is the best time to actually do the cardio. Other then that there are a few threads out there outlying the pro's and con's of doing light cardio in the morning.

Light cardio fasted in the morning is the best for fat loss while retaining muscle.
Light cardio after weights is good also just not so much.
 

"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.

So early morning or post workout cardio would both allow for losing fat but also continuing to get stronger? How long should a session be?

Example:

-45 minutes on a treadmill, fast walk(4-5), at a 5.0% incline.

-30 minutes on an eliptical, moderate pace, moderate intensity

-30 minutes on a rowing machine, moderate pace, light intensity

-45 minute bike ride

If you're up above 30 minutes, keep the intensity low(no sprints, no running).

oh sh!t. okay before warboss hunts me down and kills me let me just clarify something, what i meant to say was the common belief is that cardio 'may possibly' harm weight gain, however it is possible to burn fat and gain muscle at the same time. It's just slower.

I think low intensity cardio doesn't affect muscle gain.
