Provided that I'm not gonna workout for many months, I'd like to know if there's some way I can gain 10 lbs, without it being just fat. I'm still pretty small (5'9 and 155 lbs), is it possible if I eat tons of food and smash myself with cardio?
"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.

"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.

possibly with high intensity cardio like sprints but i dont think so with low intesinty like walking or jogging

No, you can't. You need to apply resistance to the muscle in order for it to grow.

that sounds dumb
through excessive cardio, you're going to burn whatever you've taken in, resulting in weight loss instead of weight gain...common sense!

"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.

most sportsmen do weight training as part of their regime.Adone said:The fact is that most big people I know (not necessarily huge, but jock-wise big) never lifted in their life, they just ate tons of food and did lots of sports and exercise.
notice most of the college jocks eat like **** as well - their genetics and metabolism allow them that.
the only guys I've met who are huge without weight training are guys who work an extremely physical job like stonemasonry and to be in that line of work you need to have the genetics for it. (huge joints)
(bottom line: if you're not big without lifting weights, you won't ever be)
there's nothing to stop you improving your bodyfat, endurance and cardiovascular ability even if you're not working out. you can also rig up ghetto weights if you have the tools, this can help.

Thanks for the advice Warboss, but I can't lift ghetto weights either, because my wrists are fùcked up.
I'd like to clarify that our perceptions of huge are most likely really different. I'm talking about guys who are like 5'11 and 180 lbs with a 12% bodyfat... nothing exceptional, but definately better-looking and bigger than most folks with 12% bodyfat... Is that attainable through sports and body exercise without weights only?

Possibly, via great genetics. Realistically? No.

What's wrong with your wrists?
I hope you're not using that as an excuse because I had a wrist injury (slight tear of a ligament) myself and I'm still recovering from it, but most excersizes require minimal, if any, wrist involvement i.e. torque.

"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.
