"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.

Every now and then I see people say that all newbie gains in strength are due solely to neural adaptions in the muscles, and that no hypertrophy takes place for the first 4-6 weeks of training.

I've heard a few different opinions on this, some being that size gains (i.e. hypertrophy) DO occur right from the get go, and others say that indeed almost no hypertrophy takes place.

What are other people's EXPERIENCES on this? How long did it take to start gaining size?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Newbies (people that never lifted before in there life, or people that have trained but never trained correctly)

Gains and body changes should be very obvious. A lot of the people i train will go up 10lbs in weight in the first month because of all the diet changes, supplements, water etc. Muscle gains do happen over time but can happen at any moment they are not linear, so its important to have your diet, supps and sleep together because gains can take place at anytime.

You should def being seeing gains (weight, body changes in before after pics, strength) in the first 4-6weeks if not then something isn't right.

Its hard to put a set number on how much you'll gain but as a rough estimate in 3months time a newbie that has there training, diet, sleeping, supp, and metabolic issues together should be gaining anywhere from 15-30pounds (maybe more in some cases)

Add in a bodyfat reducing program and you got yourself a really different looking person :)

I fit into the newbie categorie, I have lifted a bit before but not much and that was just benching and few curls.. so does not count much. But I did read on wannabetbig.com that as a beginner as EFFORT stated, you can gain 15lbs (about 9 of lean muscle rest is fat) in 1 month. But that depends on the following.

-Eating about 3500-4500 calories per day.

-Protein intake in grams is a minimum of 2x your bodyweight per day. So for instance I weight 169 so I need to take in at least 338g of protein.

-Making your workout around the big 3 I.E. : Bench, Squat, Deads ( I am following Mark Rippetoes program for this, best one for beginners ).

-Last but not least don't over train yourself get your rest in.
