"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.

Is it possible to increase strength, mass and endurance at the same time?

Usually 1 or 2 of these things will take a back seat when you focus on just a few aspect

I want to be able to max out and fly through USMC OCS' physical part as well as have more stamina in boxing

However I also want to get bigger

how do people in sports like boxing go up in weight class? They gain mass while training for endurance
 

"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.

You can and you can't. Good news is, with weight training you gain some endurance and lots of strength anyways. With endurance training you gain some strength and lots of endurance. It's not all separated.

Doing anything will benefit. I say work on endurance first, then you work on strength. You can't work your muscles hard enough to grow if you can't finish your workout.

Add endurance training to your routine, and eat more to compensate for the lost calories.

It is possible to an extent, however its rare to see someone become Advanced/Elite at all three.

Eventually you have to pick a direction.

--

My squat suffered when I was doing lots and lots of cardio, I tapered back on cardio and my strength exploded.
 

"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.

Speaking from experience, you can't make substantial stamina gains without sacrificing a lot of strength/muscle. Pick one or the other. If you're just trying to survive, I'd take stamina over strength, so long as you've got enough strength to pull your bodyweight around.

Fair enough. I was just wondering how heavyweight boxers did it.

I mean, they have stamina AND strength, as well as size
