"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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:

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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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
