"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Have any of you gone on the anabolic diet or the T-dawg diet?

If so what was your experience while on said diet?
 

"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.

I've been on both diets and absolutely love them, I have more energy and my abs come through.

Downside is the couch crashing after a carb up. And trying to eat your fruit and veggies.
 

"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.

Yeah I read that. Good stuff.

I'm getting the tiredness too. From what I understand its caused by the body trying to use carbs for energy and their aren't any in there (at least less then 30g/day worth). So hopefully it'll adapt/convert to using fat soon.

Are you still on the anabolic diet, if not how long were you on it for? How long did it take you to get 'fat adapted', ie when did the tiredness go away?

I've heard it takes like 3 weeks. And with my work and lifestyle, there are better options for me.

3 weeks you say? The highest I've seen including from stronglifts says it takes 1-2weeks max. I think I'd quit if it took 3 weeks for me too.. lol (hoping thats seriously not the case).

The biggiest problem I'm running into right now is I didn't realize soooo many things have carbs in them! Some of the beef meals I cooked last week I added bbq sauce, with peanuts, raisins and pineapple. All of those have frekin carbs in them! Even soy sauce has carbs.. sheesh. This is going to take some time to get use to.

I don't want to go crazy counting.. so I eat veggies, (only count as 2g carbs per cup for brocolli and 4g carbs/cup for green beans) and limit myself to only 1 meal from that batch a day (Its anal.. but I also remove/don't eat the pineapple from said batch).

I'm not on it anymore because of money issues but I was on the anabolic for about 4 months then went to a Warboss Alex T-dwag variation for 2 months.

I was tired the first month then had more energy then ever. I was mostly adapted at 2 weeks and after a month toilet functions were normal.

Even though I'm not on it now Im definitely still fat adapted. I just can't handle any carbs. I only eat carbs when I know it's OK to have a couch crash.

does HIIT burn fat faster then the anabolic diet or vice versa? maybe even a combination of both?

They both burn fat in different ways.
HIIT speeds up your metabolism while the anabolic diet changes your metabolism to prefer burning fat rather then carbs for energy. Sure one could combine them to burn fat faster.

Stronglifts says combining HIIT with anabolic is not a good idea. HIIT eats up your GI stores like crazy, and since you're pretty much out of GI by mid week you're gonna go catabolic if you do HIIT.

Interesting.. do you have a link?

Its just that I've read that while on the anabolic diet people usually report having a lot more energy and enhanced endurance (cardio) as the body now uses fat for fuel (and thus has a surplus of energy as we all have fat on us).
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

High intensity activities use glycogen. You need the glycogen for strength training. You should breathe heavier than when at rest, but not gasping. Let the cardio burn fat. HIIT is high intensity. It will empty your carbs stores fast.


Ahh.. ok. Now I understand.
