"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.

It has been more than 3 days and still feel very sore after a workout. Is there any kind of "medicine" against it except rest?
 

"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.

True, but its good to be sore. So when your muscles repair they are even stronge r next time.
 

"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.

You'll get used to it. Soreness is a good sign, but if you're actually hurting you may have injured yourself, so be careful.

As well as what vanwilder says, some light cardio (e.g. a brisk walk) can help alleviate soreness.

if it's pure soreness (not pain), it's good. i'm not satisfied if the day after my workout i don't feel sore...
anyway, it's nothing to worry about... when i squat (even light weights) the soreness stays for about 5 days

Try active recovery:

Some very light cardio with very mild resistance. I prefer low-impact cardio for recovery; cycling or wading through water is great.

Basically you want to encourage blood flow to the sore area, but you have to do it in a way which doesn't strain the already-damaged muscles.

Keep it very gentle and consistant, enough to get the blood pumping around your body but not enough to stress an muscles.

50 rep range with light weight.


In the future use Scivation Xtend. Or another glut and bcaa blend.

Fish caps along with sesamax(sesathin) can aide with inflamation as well.

Update: it has been a week already and still I don't feel I can go to the gym and lift. Still sore..
I'll sure increase protein intake.

But do you guys really feel glutamine actually help recover from soreness? I don't douubt that it is helppful for muscle growth. But how about alleviating soreness - does anyone actualy feel it?

Since the soreness period seems too long for me, I started thinking that maybe I should not do any sets to failure? Would it help with faster recovery?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

If it's been a week then I'd be concerned. It's usually healed by 2 days.

How do you guys deal with always being sore? It's hard to even do some things quickly when your upper body is sore... I'ma bout to start playing golf and I'm wondering how I'll be able to swing when I can't really make smooth continuous motions.

It is odd, but it feels like soreness not injury. One week and still is not healed. Hm.

there is cold cream that you can apply on sore muscles. It release heat to muscle to speed up blood flow so lactic acid will be transport away from the area.
