"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

It's just an excuse for crappy eating in my view. No need for it unless you're an advanced bodybuilder trying to cut down to a low bodyfat.

if you dont want to lose weight dont use caffeine. its great for an energy boost

Not an excuse for crappy eating. My diet during this bulk cycle has been very strict and I've stuck to it. However, I was a former fat kid and after losing 65 lbs recently I'm not looking to fall back into the hole. I've put on about 10lbs of muscle in the past 3 months so I'm at a 6"1 and 175lbs. I seem to find that I have a lot more fat (surviving fat) on my back though abs are starting to show through and my arms are much more toned. Is backfat that hard to get rid of?Originally posted by Warboss Alex
Why the hell do you need an EC stack when trying to gain muscle?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
65lbs?!? Thats AWESOME mate, great effort! Did you post a journal about it I can read? If not, give some more details - I'd love to hear more about it.Originally posted by DirkPitt

I don't think there are any good legal fat burners on the market today. I just cut out junk food and eating late at night and got buffed and dieseled.
I went from a staggering 230 to 165 without the use of ephedrine (just realized last week I could get it online, would've made it a lot easier). I never posted a journal because it was kinda fvcked up how I did it. I pretty much stayed on a 300-400 calorie diet for about 2 and a half months. Checked it out with a cardiologist who said it was fine. Probably should've checked it out with a psychiatrist too but this all happened back in April/May/June of this year and I'm fine now.Originally posted by manuva

EDIT: I'm now up to 3000+ cals a day packing on the good bulk.
I'm now 175 and aside from the backfat, I'm lovin the way I look. Faint six-pack coming in, hip bones stick out just right and I have the V lines leading down to where all the magic happens so I think its worth it. No twinkie is worth doing it over though =/
