"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Muscles grow at night?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around 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.

"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.

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?
