Today in the gym I finished up on my leg workout ahead of time and thought that it couldn't hurt to throw in some mild cardio........NEVER DO CARDIO RIGHT AFTER A LEG WORKOUT. I only had the treadmill set to 6.0 incline @ 6.5mph, I had to stop at .36 miles because I felt like I was going to throw up at any second. Came home,20 minutes later I felt worse and it hurt to try and eat. 1 hour later after burping a whole bunch and taking a nap I feel much better but I'm never running right after a leg workout again! Just aheads up to everyone else because I wouldn't want anyone else to expierence the same thing.
"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.
No running after a leg workout!

"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 run 3 miles after my leg workout, in 30 minutes.
Mabye youre just not in shape
I've heard that HIIT after leg workout is bad, but low-medium cardio couldn't hurt.
You might have not eaten enough that day. You need energy to fuel your workout, if you run out of steam, then you aren't getting enough calories.

Does umm running two circles around the gym and realizing how badly your legs mainly calfs are freezing up sound about right?

You sure seem to act like you know a bunch when you have yet to prove that you are even in the slightest of shape. Anyone can post words on a forum but where is the proof that your knowledge is correct?Warboss Alex said:
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Hmm. What exactly do I need to prove to know that you shouldn't be able to walk, let alone run, after training legs?

I've done enough leg workouts over the past 5-6 years to know that I hobbled, not walked, out of the gym each time. Except the times when I chickened out on the 20 rep squats, which I did quite a few times.

"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.

When I get my legs I have to sit down for at least 10-15 minutes before I go anywhere. Usually I plant my ass on the mats under the squat rack and hope no one wants to use it before I get up hahahaha

I shake and tremble after a leg workout but am still capable of running on a flat surface.
Yesterday i did a short (I had to squeeze it in my shcedule) 20 minute leg routine consisting of super sets.
I did 5 sets of 8-15 rep 225 pound squats immediatley followed by calf raises and then leg curls. No rest. The entire workout took me less than 20 minutes and I couldn't even walk up the stairs to the cardio room.
But I still managed a two mile run in 13:30 and a 500 meter swim in less than 9 minutes.
Total workout time including pre-pool shower: less than 50 minutes (I didn't rest once).
just because you're legs are jello after a leg workout doesn't mean you can't do cardio with your legs. Eff strength, that's when it comes to endurance.
For the record, that was a FUBARed wokout compared to my normal routine. i was just very short on time and had to get cardio in.

"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.

Uhh...I'm maxing my weights every week, still linear gains, I do pyramid sets and worksets and the 15 rep each Monday. Granted I only started doing the right stuff recently(afew months).
And after legs + cardio, I literally can't walk down the stairs(i almost fell down them acouple weeks ago..my legs were under me but they wouldnt stay upright)...I take the elevator.
