"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Question about cardio/sports while Bulking

Hi,

I'm currently on a bulking routine which is similar but not exactly the same as Diesel's Bulking Thread.

Diesel reccomends not doing any cardio while bulking but I've also read some of the arguments on that thread stating otherwise.

My current routine has me doing 15-20 mins. of cardio 3 times a week.

I'm also a goalie for a hockey team. We play once a week for about two hours. While playing goal I sweat like a motherfawker. Its mostly due to the gear that I have to wear. My heart rate doesn't get very high and the workout you get while playing isn't overly strenuous.

Does this seem like too much cardio? Will my goaltending be detrimental to my gains? Is it not good to be sweating that much while trying to bulk up?

Thanks.
 

"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.

Nobody wants to answer my question. Fine screw all y'all. :D

I guess maybe I've asked an unanswerable question. Hmm.

Maybe none of us know. Or care to answer. But if you want an answer, ask a bodybuilding or sports forum. Chances are you'll get more answers, and a lot of good quality ones.

-running after leg day kills you
-you burn calories while sweating so increase your carb intake on the hockey day(which will hardly be possible if you're already on a heave bulk)
