"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hey, I got some Body Fortress Super Creatine High Performance Muscle Mass and Strength Fuel.

Looks like it isn't just creatine, but a whole lot of other stuff. On the back it says:

Calories 150
Carbs 32 g
Sugars 32 g
Phosphorus (as Magnesium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate and Sodium Phosphate) 180 mg
Magnesium 65 g
Sodium 95 mg
Potassium 90 mg
Creatine Monohydrate 5.25 g
Taurin 1 g


But, I want to load on creatine. I've read that you need to space out 25g of creatine to load on it. The problem is that it has a lot of this other junk in it (thought I was buying just creatine).

Is it safe if I take 5 scoops of this a day (for five days)? I will be getting 25 g of creatine for my load but a lot of calories, carbs, potassium, etc.

Any thoughts?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You're fine. Space it out 5x per day for the 5 days, then take one scoop after that. You dont have to worry about the other stuff in there. I think you meant 65mg of magnesium too right? :up:

You are going to get some sugar load though for the 5 days because of the 32g in there. You'll be putting down 160g of carbs in the form of sugar, and isn't your best bet, but again you are only doing it for 5 days.

The reason the dextrose is in there (I am going off what I know that its dextrose even though you didnt list the source...could be wrong) is to shuttle the creatine into the muscles. That's the ONLY reason they use sugar, as a transport mechanism. In your newer creatine products, this is not necessary as much as your plain creatine.

Super! Next time I load on creatine I will be sure to buy 100% creatine.

After my 5 day period is over should I take just two scoops per day? The instructions on the back say I should take one scoop an hour before workout, and one more an hour after. I assume these instructions are to be ignored for someone who knows what they are doing.
