"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.

Lacrosse Season starts in spring. I know that tons of running tends to rob people of muscle. During the season, I'll also be lifting at least 2-3x a week for football.

How can I get through lacrosse without becoming a skeleton or a blimp?
 

"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.

Well, you need to maintain ample supply of Protein, to just maintain your current muscle mass, and increase your consumption if you want to build more.

And you need to keep your carbohydrates ample to supply you with the necessary glycohen for your activity level, if not, it will cannabilze muscle tissue. You dont want that.
So keeping carbs up spares muscle protein from being used as fuel.
You also need to keep up your intake of healthy fats.
Mainly, Omega 3.

Make sure your Test levels are at least steady by taking ZMA every night before bed.

So calculate your body weight, and calculate the time and rough energy expenditure to decide how much carbs you want to keep up.

It's ok to experiment.

But you're in a position where you're lifting, and performing another strenous exercise. You have to keep in mind the demands of both.

Im sure you're following the general rule of about 1 gram of protein for pound of body mass. To about 2 grams per pound, divided throughout meals throughout your day. This is to maintain, or help increase muscle mass.


WBA would be able to make you a sound nutrition program if you ask nicely.
lol

Good luck.

Well that's a bit of a myth, what you're saying. I don't know what Lacrosse is, but if it's anything like football or rugby or something, then doing that won't make you lose any muscle. You see, there is a difference between high-intensity and low-intensity exercise. I'd say marathon running, jogging and the like are low-intensity. This is because they do not stimulate the muscles. Doing these can make you lose muscle mass and strength since in doing these the body burns fat and muscle equally.

However, sprinting and games like football and rugby are high-intensity. These stimulate the muscles as well and in doing these, the body only uses fuel from fat, rather than muscle as well.
