"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.

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?

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

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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?
 

"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.

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.
