"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.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
 

"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.

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 ...
