"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Walking -> Running or Skipping rope.
A 300lb out of shape dude can't jump into running, it won't do his joints no good.

Make yourself sore?
After a month I feel no soreness, and I'm breaking PR's every session, chief. If you mean PUSH YOURSELF, all for it :D
 

"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.

Lifting weights can give you all the cardio you need if you don't rest between sets, or rest very little.

The only cardio I recommend is HIIT

Most distance runners look emaciated from overdoing it and losing muscle and are always injured.

That pounding tears up your body.

Wrong. Consistency is the word I believe you meant.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

hey, i got some shoes...

found out my feet are neutral (with slight under-pronation) and so i got a pair of asics nimbus 9's and they are nice

i think running is different for everyone becuase i can run my guts out and i actually put on muscle (not lose it)

Perhaps i should have said real health mostly comes from good running. And guys, i am not talking about MARATHON DISTANCES. I stated that the longest distance would have been a mile or two. And please guys, as for talking about obese people, or people who live extremely sedentary lifestyle, use your own judgement. Of course people of that kind would not be able to do the workout i stated, they can still push themselves to a non life threatening limit. As for cardio makes you lose muscle mass....lol?

Perhaps you guys are not understanding my philosophy of development. You know how you first started working out (running, weight lifting, etc) you were as sore as hell for the first week or so. Then the next week, you did not feel as sore, or you were able to complete the workout more easily. This is because your body has grown to meet the standards of the workout you have done. Now that your body meets the standards of the workout you do, it becomes stronger, but the development is slower, because you have not caused it to break or feel pain to make the body want to improve again.

The key is to keep pushing yourself to YOUR LIMITS. So YOU DO make your muscle ACHE AND SORE. When you feel sore after each workout, you will have the same fast development you did when you first started the workout.
