"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
 

"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.

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
