"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"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.
The last one was the last straw.
Low intensity cardio doesn't lead to muscle loss, but high intensity does?
NEITHER makes you lose muscle if you eat properly and don't do it on an empty stomach.
If you're really fat, you do hiit, but if you're in good shape, you do low intensity? With what logic?
What's the problem with the getting started post?
5-6 meals isn't difficult. A protein shake with a piece of fruit could constitute a meal in the worst case scenario.
Look up a program by Joe Defranco - Westside for Skinny Bastards. It's a good starter program for building muscle. The other guy's isn't bad either but not enough compound lifts for my liking.
Also look up Rippetoe's 5x5 program.

HandyAndy...I had a 2000 calorie diet with ten minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week at 10 minutes. I lost about fifty pounds in five months, I did medium to low intensity cardio. BUT what i focused on were my big three. Incline bench, Squat, Deadlift. I did a three day split and followed routines given to me by Warboss and Effort. With a similar diet to what was said earlier in this post
Deadlifts are awesome - but they aren't going to be easy. they are going to be hell, and you will love it haha. Good luck to you
"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.

When I was really leaning out, I was doing this:
1. The Where to Start routine, more or less.
2. Cardio 4-5x per week. This constituted a 30 minute interval run/walk. I'd start off by walking for two minutes, then run for one minute, walk for two, run for one, etc etc etc until i hit 30 minutes.
3. Occasionally I'd mix this up with some sprints: Pick a point 40 feet away, sprint there and back facing the same direction(harder), I did this 8 times in roughly 1 minute. I'd repeat this 3 times, by the end I was lying on the ground about to throw up almost every time.
4. My diet consisted of chicken, tuna, vegetables, 6 eggs per day, all the vitamins and other goodies as well each day, every few days I'd have a steak or fish or something. My diet was a little low in calories/fats which stopped me from putting on some serious muscle, though I was able to get my numbers up quite high regardless. I also drank green tea religiously. Oatmeal was also a mainstay in my diet then. Essentially it was a high protein, mod.high carb, sadly low fats.
That's from my personal experience only, no "general" information.
Well any form of cardio in itself is catabolic to some level whether minor or not. The idea is to eat properly to minimise it, that's all. But yes low intensity does less likely lead to catabolism in general, if you do it on an empty stomach first thing then you tap into fat stores and burn mainly fat. The key is to not overdo it so that muscle becomes the fuel used. Fuelled cardio should be high intensity so that although you burn the fuel rather than fat in that session, at least the high intensity means your metabolism is boosted for hours afterwards turning your body into a fat burning furnace. So BBers on cuts usually either do AM Fasted Low Intensity or PM Fuelled High Intensity. Usually it's the former I think because it can be monitored and controlled a little better. Or even both infact.MrS said:I'm sorry, but there is some completely terrible advice in this thread.

No Muscle Milk a huge ripoff compared to On Whey. It's loaded with sugar too.Monster said:Is Muscle Milk worth it? Or should I save the money and go with the generic brands?
"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.
Uh? Original Muscle Milk has 6g of sugar per serving (1 scoop) and Muscle Milk Light has 2g per serving...Nip/Tuck said:No Muscle Milk a huge ripoff compared to On Whey. It's loaded with sugar too.
Wow really? Too bad they don't sell the "original" anymore. On Whey has less calories per serving, less fat but more protein... AND IT COSTS LESS. Do the math? Which one do you think is better?HandyAndy said:Uh? Original Muscle Milk has 6g of sugar per serving (1 scoop) and Muscle Milk Light has 2g per serving...

The only thing you really need to remember and be conscious of while consuming dietary fats is balance. Balance saturated(animal), monounsaturated(olive oil, etc) and polyunsaturated(fish oil, flax oil, etc).
Aside from that, there is no problem with fat. If you claim that 'fat is bad for you', support it with evidence or else I might delete your post(politely) as disinformation.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
