"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.
Muscles grow at night?

"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.

IF you've been sufficiently stressing your muscles correctly they will grow to adapt to the stress you put on them.
Muscles in reality are always growing and repairing, BUT there are two times when they go onto overload.
After the workout , when said hormonal signals to the brain are released, and by ingesting the proper nutrients you start the growth/repair phase.
And at Night. When you sleep, the body releases growth hormone. And that is when most of the repair is done. At night, your body releases growth hormone at its highest levels, and in deep REM sleep is when the repair is at its peak. In the early mornig, the male's body has its highest concentration of Testosterone, hence, morning "wood."
Thus, in order to stay "Anabolic", meaning "muscle building", sufficient ingestion of key nutrients keeps the body in growth phase all day, and is in high gear after the workout and at bed time.
That's why there is the correct advice for bodybuilders to keep eatign small meals throught the day, rather than the three squares. By eating aminos throught the day your body has the basic building blocks to grow all the time, which they do, provided you are working them out sufficinetly.
But over time studies began revealing optimum times for repair and hormone release.
So we just started taking advantage of these times.

muscle growth, like fat loss, is a minute by minute process throughout the day
hormone output is maximised during sleep but protein turnover occurs every second of the day.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

muscles grow & recover after your workout. Working out stresses your body, including muscles. Your body builds muscles to get stronger & better prepare it to an eventual future stress you might apply (which you will by working out again few days later). Protein intake helps the recovery, helps building muscle.i am me said:so why do we take protein right after workouts and all this? do they grow during the day too?
