"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.
Muscles grow at night?

"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.

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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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?
