"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 want to lose fat, and gain muscle mass.

Now, I understand that it takes a lot of dedication. I'm willing to dedicate a few hours at the gym, daily if necessary.

What routine must I follow to lose fat, and gain lean-muscle mass?

I stand at 5' 9'' and weigh 155 lb. My body fat is definately under 18%. I can see my abs on certain days, and some days, it's just fat - for some reason; but regardless of the day, I have to suck up my stomach to look decent.

I want to have ripped abs; visibly strong pecs, biceps, triceps, legs, back, shoulders, etc, with a body fat level below 9%.

Please give me a hand. I'm on path of physical and mental improvement. I'm just asking for assistance in the physical aspect of it.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Generally speaking, it's widely accepted that you must either bulk or cut. But, I feel that recently my abs have become more visible, and my weight is increasing, so that this is a relatively inaccurate assumption. However, there are plenty of threads about diets and such on this forum. There are plenty of websites about nutrition and nutrient timing. There are TONS of websites discussing workouts and routines and there are TONS of people who will tell you this.


There is no single diet, no single routine, nothing that works for EVERYBODY. It's all a matter of developing a routine based on YOUR goals, YOUR expectations, YOUR limits, YOUR strength etc. We can only assist you in creating your own.
This is my contribution.
