"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Doesn't work like that.

Your body does not actually need that much protein. You probably get enough in your diet already. 0.8g/lb of lean body mass experiments show. Count everything, fruits, juices, veggies.. etc.

You need calories to build that muscle. Try not to have them in the form of carbs. Activating your insulin is what puts the pounds on. That's what insulin does. Stores carbs as bodyfat for later use.


Try adding milk to your diet. A litre spread through the day everyday, homogenized for extra calories. You can also use plant and nut butters, oils like coconut oils, etc. It's hard to eat enough calories but its easy to eat them in the form of fat.

Milk rules... I drink a metric arseload of it. Can't recommend it enough.

I mainly use protein shakes as a source of extra calories before and after workouts and in place of meals. They tend to not have much fat in them, and fewer carbs than you would get if you ate a whole meal.

Protein is great for post workout because of it's absorbtion rate. Otherwise I drink a few a day for the calories, and in case I can't get in my daily steak and chicken.

These guys are right though, calories are your answer. Check out the vault for some good Post Workout and Diet threads.

A good whey/milk protein is great way to add some extra protein to your diet.
Check out trueprotein.com, there stuff is top notch.

Alle Gore-> that 0.8g of protein/lb is absolutely and entirely undershooting optimal. Yes that much protein MAY build muscle but it has been found for athletes looking to remain in a positive protein balance aka add some muscle.... to eat from 1-1.5g/lb of LEAN BODY MASS. 0.8/LB will work good for a chubby guy, but tell a skinny guy to do that and you are just setting him up for failure.

Nope. The study was done on college athletes. If you're interested in the paper, let me know. 0.8g/lb of bodyweight.

The reason most bodybuilders recommend up to 1.5g/lb of bodyweight is because protein is 'lean'. It's hard to digest and doesn't go straight to your gut like simple sugars and simple starches (white flour, potatoes... etc.).


The best diet change is not to eat way more protein, rather remove the simple carbs and add in more fat. Mostly from fruits and vegetables if possible.

The average person is recommended to consume 0.8g/lb. Weightlifters aren't the average person.

The RDA for the average person is 0.8g of protein per kilogram. For athletes its up to 1.8g per kilogram which is 0.8g/lb of bodyweight.

What you guys have to realize is that muscle is mainly water, and the rest doesn't take much protein to build and repair. What the body does need in large amounts is a clean source of calories in the form of good fats and low GI carbohydrates.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
