"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.

heres it is pretty simply: i goto 24 hour fitness about 5-6 times a week, 2 hours each time roughly.

I play basketball and lift. I will start playing basketball (full court, nice sweat) for a while. usually 2 games only if i wanna have a good weightlifting workout, or more if im not going to workout much.

after basketball i will chill for 5 ,10 min to rest then go workout. I will either do 1. chest tri's , 2. bi's back, 3. shoulders and legs .... btw, my leg workouts arent very good, so i just do it all at once with shoulders.

I will do 10-12 sets for every mucle (cept legs) in a night. so like for chest tri's i do 10-12 sets for chest and prolly 10 for tri's in the same night. doesnt matter how many on what machine just 10 altogether, and make it challenging. sets of 10, where on the 10th rep ur gettin really tired. you should feel it burning. usually i do half with free weights and half machines....

how i eat:

6 30: substitue eggs for breakfast wit orange juice

9 : half energy bar of anykind or some pop tarts or somethin

12: lunch. more along the lines of more protein and less carbs(burritos with meat, some chicken, random things). make this meal not too big, like just enuf to fill u up.

2: another meal like lunch, not big. just filling.

4: other half of that energy bar

gym at 6, get back at 8ish

8 30: protein shake or somethin.

also, this part is very important for me. I take ripped fuel extreme by Twin Labs. 4 throughout the day with 4 out of 5 of my first meals of the day. these pills help out alot, u can get them from GNC.

get 8 hours of sleep every night. for me, more sleep = better life. lol.

im not saying this is the exact way to lose weight, but u can prolly get some pointers from here.

i lost about 30 lbs total, and put on muscle too.
 

"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.

Congrats. What time period did you lose the weight? Also you couldve lost it without the pills. Only non food stuff I put in my body is ultra megaman vitamins and whey protein. No creatin, ripped fuel, stacks etc
Cardio is the key to weight loss. Cardio 5 mornings a week and lift weights just like you did, 3 nights a week. It sucks at first and you will feel tired but after about 3 weeks of being out of the slump you look forward to the suck. This is about 3-3.5 hours total a day between the two workouts plus stretching.
I hope you stretch daily (if not more than once a day) as that helps out a LOT.

Excercising 12 hours a week and substituting dinner with a protein shake will let you lose weight, yes. Taking pills for losing weight is just stupid.
