20 lbs in two months? You should be aiming for something like 5-8 lbs. You will get fat...not muscular.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
^^^^^^^^^^^
thats very frustrating to hear since you don't know me! have you ever heard of anothony ellis and his program, it claims to give you like 30 lbs in 12 weeks of muscle, and some ppl have done it whether you believe it or not. I am just following this rippetoe program and eating as much as i can like rippetoe suggests, but don't take any more than 6 meals a day!

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'll be the first to tell you...its not. Tell me how many grams of protein, carbs, calories, fats are you taking in a day...just curious
I don't want to blow up your spot dude, but if people can grow that fast it would make this game of weightlifting a little too easy for everyone.
EDIT:
I saw what you were eating on the other page...how many calories do you take in, like a measly 3000? Your diet needs work.

clearly i have gained a little fat, it comes with the territory! However I have also gained (along with a little belly fat which I aim to slot off)more muscle than ever and an inch to my arms, therefore quite successful so far in my opinion! However I am starting to include cardio from this week onward to keep the gains lean!
over and out!
over and out!
To be honest im not sure how many calories i am eating, i just follow my protein
along with 6 meals a day! I am taking at least 260g protein everyday and weigh 167lbs! Its hard however to keep track on the rest....any advice on how to count carbs, im not sure how many carbs you are supposed to take and how many carbs are in each meal you take!? thanks in advance!

"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.
Rampage1 said:
Easy way to maximize muscle gain and keep fat in control is using carb cut offs. The cut off time different for everybody. I'd start with cutting carbs off after meal 5 and see how that works, then also add in morning cardio+green tea.
As for how many carbs to eat.... measure them out to get the cals or if you eat the same thing just add 2 bananas to every meal until the carb cut off. Follow that for a week see how things go, the next week add 3 bananas (doesn't have to be bananas could be a cup of brown rice, apples, sweet potatoes, Oats) if the gains aren't coming steady.
Today:
After warm ups:
Squats 5x 65kg, 5 x 70kg. 5x 72.5kg
Benchpress 5 x 65kg, 5 x 65 kg , 5 x 67.5 kg (PR)
Deadlift 5 x 100kg (PR)
Dips 3sets 10 reps
All in all very happy, I set 2 personal records and hopefully they will be beat soon! I am looking to reach 70 kg in the benchpress in the next few weeks and with todays progress it seems attainable. Also, the deadlift was very hard at 100kg but none the less it was done well with good form I think! Happy enough just

Not happy with todays workout...i didnt get a good carb meal before the workout so that could have been a factor, o well cant improve every day!
On the bench i struggled with the last few reps and my spotter had to guide me with them and I could only do 4 reps of the deadlift!
p.s. im going to introduce cardio for health reasons on tuesday on thursday! until next time......

"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.
I missed tying up Wednesdays workout but im too lazy too type..it went fine, no pr's tho! Today:
Squats 72.5 kg x 5 (3 sets) PR
Bench 65kg x 5, 67.5 kg x 5 ( 2sets)
Deadlift 5x95kkg
Dips 2 sets 10 reps
All in all not bad, again I didnt have a massive amount of energy during the workout today, in all fairness i didnt get a good meal an hour before the workout, so that may be a reason??? However, progressing along slowly but surely!

Good workout out. Just make sure you aren't too lazy to workout
When i was bulking up, i would eat carbs about 30 minutes before working out. I'd eat about 30-50 carbs of brown rice (almost a cup) and i would set to workout.
Make sure you get some sort of carb source before lifting, carbs are energy, and in your case you need them to work hard and get those PR's

have a lot of coursework on at the minute so I am not getting to eat very much...gona take this opportunity to loose some of the fat i have gained! BTW I am still working out 3 times a week, just don't have the time to log in here and post routine! Will start a westside barbell variation on the 24th of this months when my law exams are over!
havent posted here in a while as I have been busy! As I said before I am finished my exams on 24th and will put in more effort as I am under alot of pressure atm! However I am still keeping up with my training, and am maintaining my weight gains but will look to bulk up even more in due time! I am thinking about investing in creatine and glucomine(excuse spelling) also!
"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.
