"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.

I'm not a hard core body builder or anything like that but I do workout on a regular basis and I incorporate protein shakes into my daily meals. I'm currently using EAS Myoplex shakes that have 42g of protein but I wanted to see what you guys use.
 

"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.

I Just ordered 10lbs for me and 10lbs for my buddy of Vanille Ice Cream flavored Optimum Whey Protien. In addition to that I ordered 2 bottles of V12 Fuel Injection (top of the line creatine) and I use No2 by MRI. I also have glutamine powder that i scoop 5g's of into each of my protien shakes. Also, barleens flaxseed oil provides all my amino acids. Ok, im a supplement fanatic =)

I don't use any. But, Myoplex is a good product although it's expensive as hell.

You may wanna invest in some of Optimum's 100% Whey Protein in the future.

Just out of curiousity, is there much of a difference between Creatine powders? i.e. V12 Fuel Injection seems to be much more expensive then other brands of powdered Creatine, and I was wondering if there's any significant difference in the way it works.

V12 is considered the most effective creatine mixture on the market to date for several reasons (and this is why its one of th emost expensive). The mixture is a combination of several of the substances such as L-Arganine, Taurine etc which help the body absorb creatine more quickly. THis in turn allows V12 users to skip the Creatine loading phase, meaning you will begin to experience the immediate effects. Some of the major effects of V12 are the pumps you experience (the arms and such remain pumped up after you workout and leave the gym) and the fuel-injection basically means more creatine gets pumped into your muscles due to the specialized formula. If you are SERIOUS about bodybuilding, v12 is where its at. However, Normal 100% Pure Creatine Monohydrate is good enough to get the job done also, and is usually half the price.

I got 1000 grams of 100% Pure Creatine Monohydrate for a buddy for $17 on the internet. I got 2 495g things of V12 for $75. Major price difference as you can see, but I take my supplements use fairly seriously.

Hope that answers your question.
 

"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.
