"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

i am doing some mass weight training to get bigger.


I do intense cardio. I grapple/wrestle and do muay thai. I want to bulk. Will i have to stop these intense cardio sessions in order to bulk?

i am literally shattered after a 2 hour session of grappling/wrestling so alot of calories will be wasted.. Will i not bulk if i continue this?

I am a hardgainer as it is and my body shape is ectomorph.

What must i do?:box:
 

"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.

Very difficult but not impossible. Focus on shorter workouts with an emphasis on heavy weights and compund movement. You're body is being put under a lot of stress, so you need to maximize what you do.

I'm going through the same issue right now. I train MMA at least a couple times a week and lift a couple times too. I've been keeping my size of about 180 lbs at 5'8 but my strength hasn't gone up too much. Not too worried about this because I have good numbers.

Also, be sure to REST..and EAT a lot.

I wouldn't worry too much though. I'm going a 3 month MMA training thing, then I'm gona focus on lifting for a cycle.

MMA is fun and it feels great. You can always cycle them and train in your offseason harder.

Basically the only way your gonna bulk properly, is lift hard and have a high calorie intake (obviously the right calorie intake, high carb and protein diet).
If you immensely train MMA, you're gonna be burning alot of calories, so you won't bulk as fast.

As workerouter said, it can be done, but you'll only grow slower. Although, the perks are instead of puttin on the fat with bulking, because of your intense cardio you'll look leaner as you grow. works for me.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

the issue with weight gain when doing combat sports is more the CNS strain. you're walking the fine line of overtraining if you try to combine MMA and strength training, and if you do much you'll just go backwards in both pursuits
