"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.

Losing weight while maintaining muscle mass?

Just after some advice ... I currently spend 4-5 days at the gym, doing only weight training. As a result, I have a reasonable amount of muscle mass, but also have a much higher body fat percentage then I would like.

I was wondering what the best approach would be for dropping weight, without losing too much muscular development. Should I just concentrate on cardio for the next couple of months with no weights? Should I do a combo of weights and cardio? Will maintaining a high protein intake help? Any advice would be appreciated.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Lift and do HIIT

Thank you for the advice.

Should I combine them in the same session, or did you mean do them on alternate days? If I was to combine them in the one session, should I lift first or do the HITT first?

I do lifting on Mondays, Wednesday and Friday and do HIIT on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday

I find it best to do HIIT right after a lifting.

You shouldn't do HIIT more than 3 times a week. It's extremly hard on the body. If it was ok I would be doing it 3 times a week cause Im cutting and I love it.
 

"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.

Generalization...

It depends what fitness level you're at. Yeah when I started doing HIIT for tennis training, sure I started at 2 days a week. Now I'm levelled off at 5 days a week. Perhaps our intensity levels are different...What do you do for HIIT?

By the way, being hard on your body is how you get fit.

It is a fair point though ... I am strong but very unfit, so five days a week may be pushing it ... I was thinking maybe three days a week of HITT/weights (20 minute sprints with a 3/1 rest/sprint ratio) and one day of just weights ...
