Is there a such thing as too much?
"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.
"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.
If you get more than your body can handle, you will just not absorb it and it will pass through your system. For gaining muscle, its a pretty well accepted idea on this forum that you want to get about 1-1.5 grams of protein for every pound of body weight.
More than that even..up to 2 or even 2.2 works best for some people. 2g is a fairly accepted value for most people for muscle gain among top coaches and lifters.
At some point, extra protein is gonna make no difference.

Could someone please clear this up for me. I think I've read that your body can only absorb like 35 g of protein in one sitting, anything extra is wasted. So say I eat 6 meals a day that means my body can only absorb 210 g of protein a day. So if I weigh 200 lbs there is no way possible I can get the goal of 1.5-2g per lb of body weight per day.
its hard to take to much considering if you weigh 150 lbs and are bulking your looking at close to 300g of protein (1.5 - 2 per lbs of bodyweight). Figure a protein shake has 25g a scoop, taking 5 your only getting close to half of what you actually need. The body can take a lot of protein it just has to be spread out over the day. Actually I find myself trying to find ways to get more in my diet and I take in a good amount.
Peace.
Peace.
"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.

I think the top amount of protein I've taken per day is close to 500g @180ish lbs. Those days I woke up and my kidneys were hurting even though I drank ****loads of water.
As long as your kidneys dont hurt it seems to be ok to eat as much protein as you want.

How much water is ****loads? You'd need to drink a tremendous amount of water to be properly hydrated to take in 500g protein at 180lbs and I'd be very surprised if you took in enough (not saying you didn't drink a lot though).Lifeforce said:
bud_2005, it just ain't true man. If you're pounding weights, you're gonna have a lot of microtrauma in your muscles, and you're gonna absorb a lot more than 35g per meal.
Think of it this way, do you think if big guys only ate 150g protein per day they'd really be big now? no because people spin their wheels for years eating **** diets and not growing

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Not nearly enough. For that amount of protein at the weight you were you should've got 3 gallons of water a day. That's 12 litres.Lifeforce said:Hm, we're talking like 4 l milk, and about 2.5-3 l water every day. Not counting the water in protein shakes and the like. Maybe it wasnt enough but I was peeing constantly
Milk doesn't count for purposes of hydration as it's not 100% water and it does weird stuff with subq water..
That might explain a thing or two alex. Wasnt a pleasant experience waking up and feeling like bruce lee had kicked me in the sides. Only eating 350-400g nowadays and havent felt any kidney pain yet so its all good and fun. :cheer:
Gotta give a big thumbs up for you for all the advice you give people here.

I don't know how you guys do it. How much of that do you get from supplements and how much from food? I can eat about one 50g protein shake with my big meal of the day, but that is all of the whey protein I can stomach. I can't handle a protein shake or bar as a meal alone without it, as you put it, 'passing through my system.'
Since Im on a budget Im going 50/50 from whey protein and from food. Whey is far cheaper than meat unfortunatly. The trick I use is to have 3 shakes a day which I spread out during several hours between my meals. Chugging down much more than 50g to a meal I dont think anyone can manage well.
“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.

I would try to get all your protein from solid food and use whey (preferably with raw eggs added) between meals.
Some people will be able to get in large amounts of solid protein easily, others simply don't have the digestive capacity from the off, and need to work into it. Basically you have to force your body to take in and assimilate the protein, just like you're forcing it to grow.

My pwo shakes were at 75-100g protein at one point, no problems here.Reborn said:
