"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

not telling :P
Hey everyone, some people will know I HAD a rippetoe workout log, well the reason I've not updated is this;

Starting of new school and illness.

I have been very Ill recently and lost my appetite etc

In the space of 2 weeks I have gone from 160lb to 150lb. I have now since regained my appetite and recovered from illness. Now I'm going back on the training and diet I have this question, how long do you think it should take to get back to 160 considering muscle memory? 1 week if i ate perfectly and maybe even a bit more than i did at 160? Thank you for taking the time to read this and I'm sorry about the rippetoe log not being updated hopefully I'll start a new one or continue with the current one soon!
 

"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.

depends on a lot of factors.

basically, more advanced trainers who've used heavy weights (progressive overload) over a longer time are far less likely to lose muscle on a break/illness and get it back quicker - however volume trainers tend to fluctuate a lot because their hypertrophy is sarcoplasmic.

that said, of that 10lbs it's not 10lbs of muscle.. probably equal water/fat/muscle etc. Just train and eat as you were before and it'll come back.
