"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.

Ayo wut up playas. Alright, so from what I read it seems like cardio is not recommended by the people of this site. My question is, what is the exact reason for loss of muscle mass during long cardio, the process? What happens during a long cardio that causes us to lose muscle mass? Thanks.
 

"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.

Your muscles is built up by two different kind of fibers, white and red. The white ones are the largest and they are used when doing intense work, the red is used during more long lasting work.

When the red fibers work they will come to a certain point were they will need more energy because not enough is transported to them the regular way. So they do what is easiest, they break down the white ones so they get energy. That is why Cardio is worthless for body building and that is why HIIT training is good because the red fibers never reach that point where they scavange white muscle fibers.

Damn. That makes sense. But is it just in your legs or does that happen in all of your muscles in your body?

It should happen to all your body's muscles. Most cardio exercises use nearly your entire body, especially running and swimming. So stay away from the cardio when you're trying to bulk up.

It depends upon what the training you do. A couple of years ago I did intense training to my legs, ran 7.5 Km a day. And the first body parts that started to feel weak was the quadriceps and the shoulders. So it is the muscle that do the most work that start to become weak quickest. But it happens to all muscles with enough effort.

Cardio is not wrong to use while bulking but it should be HIIT training because it uses both white and red fibers during training. And developing a strong heart and a good oxygen flow will help your bulking. Ordinary cardio done over a long period of time will hurt your bulking.
 

"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.
