"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.

Hello

I'm planning a workout schedule which will help me in my quest to lose about 10kgs and get down to a very low body fat and still retain muscles. But I need approvals before I will seriously undertake this.

I plan to join a gym in my university...

I also do kickboxing and probably go do some breakdancing or something...

I plan to only work out on two days because of my schedules... and these days are also the days that I'd be doing either kickboxing or breakdancing...

Tuesday
I finish uni at 2pm and plan to go to the gym straight away for an hr... before heading to kickboxing which starts at 6pm until 7:30pm

Thursday
On another day, I finish uni at 2pm as well and plan to do the same thing I do with the above (I go breakdancing on this day)...

I want to know if this is a good plan to lose weight but retain muscles? Or should I space it out and just train on weights on Tuesday and go kickboxing on Saturday since that is avaliable?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I have never been one who believe serious mass can be built on a 2 or 3 day weight training routine.

Your best bet is to concentrate on core exercises, lifting heavy. Biggest problem with a lot of cardio work is that your cortisol levels tend to ride, which leads to a lot of muscle breakdown when glycocegen stores are low

Get a hold of MAX-OT from www.johnstonefitness.com

there's some good cardio instruction in here. max fat loss with muscle retention

if i were you i'd stick to just kickboxing on the tuesday and just the breakdancing on thursday. that's enough cardio for one day if you ask me
