"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.

Question about creatine, glutamine, and whey

Hey all,

I was wondering what everyone here mixing their creatine with on non-workout days. I've been working out 4 days a week, mixing my creatine with grape juice. I think it is equal to dextrose but if anyone thinks that is a bad idea please tell me. Anyway, so that leaves 3 days of the week with nothing to mix my creatine with. I don't need the carb boost with my creatine on non-workout days, or do I? I'm not sure about that one. I know it was good to take my creatine with carbs after a workout, but is it as important or even good for me on a non-workout day?

Secondly, how many days of the week should I be taking glutamine. By using ON 100% whey protein I am taking in about 12 grams of glutamine 4 days of the week with my workout. Should I be taking whey protein EVERY day of the week (workout and non-workout) or should I be taking whey on the four workout days and a glutamine supp on the three other days?

I'm sorry I asked so many questions but they are the only things that are holding me back from making great leaps in my bulking plan. Thanks for your time.

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.

As I have stated before, I don't think it is TOO important when you take creatine. Mix it in warm water or with some simple carbs if you take it post workout.

Whey protein is ideal post workout due to it's rapid absorption which is exactly what you need at this crucial time. Drink half your whey within 30 mins of the workout and then sip the other half over the next 30-60 minutes aiming for a total of about 50 grams. Mix it with some carbs if you can - up to 100 grams. Make sure you have a good meal soon after this too.

On non-training days I prefer a weight gain shake with carbs and protein - my favourite is CNP Pro Mass as it tastes great and has a mix of whey and casseinate proetin as well as the carbs.

Glutamine - on an empty stomach, first thing AM, last thing before bed, middle of the night, immeditaley after your workout before your whey etc etc.

I started mixing 1 tub/cup of yogurt with 8oz of water in a blender. 80 calories...
