"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.

What would be the result of a high protein intake while doing a lot of cardio? I'm just wondering because I would like to gain but a lot of cardio is unavoidable for me.

Also, whats the best way to increase the size of the lower arms?
 

"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.

You can definitely gain while doing a lot of cardio although the type of cardio is important. If you're a runner forget it, if you just walk a lot then it's perfectly possible. You will simply have to eat more, which is never a bad thing.

The way to add size to any part of the arms is to add mass to the whole body. You cannot isolate certain muscles effectively without the rest also growing (especially not small muscles like arms).

Haboob, this is the counter-intuitive reality that you must learn to accept and work with. Your body grows as a unit.

I can't tell you how many years I squandered on curls and only managed to attain less mass than I have in the last year simply devoting myself to a simple regimen of compound lifts while gradually increasing the weight.

Ok thanks guys I get the point. The only way to grow is to grow the whole body. I should have known that.

So I do a lot of running. Are you telling me that it is then impossible to gain?

I don't see how this is counter-intuitive.

Why WOULDN'T muscles grow as a unit? Why would a giant chest and a teeny tiny back make any sense? Why have giant hooks (arms) when the the crane is out of order (back and legs)?

If anything this is the intuitive common sense part that got overridden by all 'your' dumb friends and magazines that give you 4 exercises a day for biceps.
 

“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.

Ruckus, point taken -
Counter-intuitive in the respect that a misconception prevails that big biceps or big forearms = arm exercises.

The reality here is a bit more complicated, you don't get the biggest arms possible by working them directly. That is the part I'm saying is counter-intuitive.

Maybe it's as simple as a little education.
