"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.

HIIT cardio increases muscle mass?

I'm on my cutting phase and been doing the HIIT routine for my cardio on the rowing machine for nearly 2 weeks, 2x a week , on top of my weight training , also 2x a week.

I am pleased with results so far - more vascularity, abs more defined. In fact, I have seen an increase of 3-4 lbs in body weight over the last 2 weeks, which I speculate is lean muscle gain.

Does anyone who practice HIIT cardio experience the same thing i.e lean muscle gains ? Am I being unrealistic here in speculating that the extra 3-4 lbs is muscle gain ? Could it be just water rentention and/or excess fat?

ps. I am on an ECA stack and on maintainance calories and take around 200g of protein per day.


Thanks !
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

well, if you say you are more vascular and have more definition in your abs, I'd guess it's probably mass and not water.. as water retention would tend to blur your cuts.

and yes, HIIT has an anabolic effect on the body, so it could result in a slight increase in muscle mass - especially a full body workout like rowing (excellent cardio choice by the way).

good fukkin' work... keep it up.

Yet another testimonial to the efficacy of HIIT over traditional cardio.

I noticed that HIIT does make me gain mass, as I lost fat by caliper testing, my weight maintaned and muscle size, my only conclusion is that HIIT made me gain mass.
