"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.

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:
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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
