"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.

I just ended 8 weeks of bulking and taking 2 weeks off before I start up again. Posted on here before my diet, but I was putting in 3,500-4,000 calories per day. In the end I put on 4 or 5 pounds of muscle and for a skinny guy I feel good about that. I'm 6'3" by the way.

When I come off this 2 week break should I change anything? The diet I know I will start up right where I ended, but should I switch up any of my exercises? Should I take it easy at first, or just jump right into my heavy compound lifts again on wk 1?
 

"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.

Any other comments?
Post up the diet and training routine you followed for the 8 weeks. Include the weights you used on day 1 and the weights you finished with.

Everywhere.
To reduce weight cycling is good choice. Don't do it heavily in the beginning, increase cycling time and distance in day by day. Doing too much exercise from the first day is not good, that will more pain in joins. Don't do any exercise with join pains. If you get join pain discuss with doctors.
