"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.

Just wondering for best results is a high calorie intake and high calorie burnage the best for results? It just made me wonder when I read the story of Michael Phelphs taking in 12,000 calories a day in which he burns off in his workouts and he has a very lean and cut body.

Sometimes I think that I won't go for a run I will just eat less that day but so would it be better to do that cardio and eat more?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

this is a term dubbed "g flux" by Dr. Beradi, and it has been found that people who train at a higher g flux in fact look better, but the same principles still apply.
Calories in > Calories Out = Weight Gain
Calories out > Calories In = Weight Loss

Yeah it's called the g flux method, so to speak.

Train twice a day, eat a lot of good food, exercise a lot in general, and you will be amazing at life.

:nervous: i guess thats bad if i know the answer
 

"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.

Bodybuilders don't need the calories of Olympic swimmers.

Think of the calories Phelps simply burns from being the water 4 hours a day.
THEN add what he uses when hes swimming for those 4 hours.

THEN add recovery calories.
THEN add growth calories.

phelps and lochte don't eat clean at all.
they just cram as much food into their body as possible.
during the olympics, lochte (who is only a tick slower than phelps in the IM) ate mcdonalds 3X a day basically everyday.
and phelps was on a pasta+pizza diet.
and their intake is closer to 8000

The articles on G-flux were really interesting! Thanks for posting them.
 

"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.

That article about Phelps reall opened my eyes. I thought that only way to have around 6% meant you had to eat really, really clean.

12,000 calories in one day? I seriously doubt that.

But when I wasn't working for a few weeks about all I did was work out (approx 3hrs/day in the gym total 5x/week), and eat like a horse. The results were very good indeed.

For those of you who say its very doubtful that he takes in 12,000 calories, did you even read the article in the linK?
