"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Not Feeling Strong Enough to Lift After Doing Cardio

I'm starting to think perhaps it may be better to do cardio after lifting weights than the other way around. Most of the time, I don't feel strong enough to lift after I do cardio. This week was especially difficult because I live a generally very stressful life...commuting back and forth by train and bus to get around and walking for very long distances including putting in 22 hours a week at an institution where I'm taking a class. I used to do cardio before lifting because I used to be concerned that I could lose whatever muscle I may have built prior to that if I did it the other way around.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Definitely do cardio after weights. Eat something high in protein inbetween as well.

And try and do cardio in the morning on your non weights days if you can.
