"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.

HI. I am planning to mini-dirty-bulk. Not necessarely(sp?) eat EVERTHING i see in sight, but more like if i am somewhere with no access to healthy food, just eat fast food or brownies ect. But also running 3-4 times a week(30 min running). Im still going to watch my protein intake, not really everything else. Of course im not going to eat fast food everyday, maybe like 1-2 times a week. I have to gain about 25 lbs and also increase stamina in the mile. I am planning to join the army, so i have to work on my 2-mile-run. I am between a ectomorph-mesomorph, but more on the meso side. So question is possible to eat like this, but with that cardio, without adding TOO much fat?


THANKS!
 

"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.

First, gaining 25lbs and increasing stamina in an endurance exercise are counterproductive goals. I've often said that running will impede muscle gains as well; also try running around with an extra 25lbs of weight on you, most likely your perfomance will deteriorate.

Eating fast food 1-2 times a week is fine, most people do that even if they're trying to lose some fat (I actually recommend it).

If you want to join the army bro, I'd just work on your 2-mile run.

find somebody who's just been through basic and figure out what's on the list (push-ups, 1 or 2-mile run, etc.) and work on that stuff obsessively.

Why do you need to gain 25 lbs.?
