"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.

Sup guys. Im buying protein powder, FINALLY.

I've used it once before, some pure-iso I think. It was good. I wanna buy a whey-protein isolate.

How much should I take? I am aware that I should follow my BW etc. Current BW is 66 kg's, 181 cm (5 11)

Also, price. Does it matter what brand and price it is?
 

"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.

Price and brand don't really matter. Please avoid products made in China if you value your health. Everything from garlic grown in human waste to soy sauce made of human hair. They have serious quality control problems and poor standards.

As far as how much you should take, around 1g per lb of body-weight is recommended. Measure the protein you're eating now.

You should drink whey protein spread through the day. Whey protein digests quickly so space it out.

At your age you got a TON of growing left to do... whey isolate protein should be something you take around work out time. Otherwise focus on eating tons and tons of good wholesome food.

You're gonna need lots and lots of quality calories combined with a good amount of protein. Eat 5-6 times a day and take isolate shakes around work out times. As Allegory said, not sure what kinds of stuff you have access to, but avoid chinese shiit because you really don't know what you're getting.

As far choosing isolates, look for a protein that's at least 90% protein my mass. My personal favorite it Isoflex by Allmax nutrition. Its not the cheapest stuff but its great quality and tastes great. I get 2 x 2.5 kg buckets for like $140ish here... not sure what prices are like in your neck of the woods.

I used to drink protein shakes, but I stopped in the past year. I get all my protein from "real" food now. I haven't experience a loss in strength nor muscle mass.

I will recommend using it only before or after your work outs.
