"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.

"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.

CARDIO 31 OCT 2005
45 minutes jog - AM cardio
Current Weight: 155 lbs approx (hate losing all this weight but its gotta be done!)
Current BF: 17.5% Approx.
just saw your pics there, lookin not too bad; lats look pretty toned and your arms are lookin pretty big (at least the high bf%'s good for that
)anyways, keep at it bud
btw, if you're eating a protein shake in the morning, is that cuz you've been at the gym before it? my mate got me started on taking only carbs in the morning (plus as much milk as i like); workout in the afternoon; full meals afterwards. in terms of results, i haven't lost anything at all, while it saves me a shytload of money; eating a couple of protein shakes/chicken breasts in the morning is a waste of money in my opinion; for me, all my muscle recovery happens post-workout and during the night, not at the start of the day; just a thought

Bollocks mate, quite frankly. Muscle recovery only occurs during the night? Whoever told you that? It does occur at a faster rate when you're enjoying some deep REM sleep BUT you're growing and recovering ALL THE TIME. Every minute of the day and anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.
That's like saying any food you eat after 9pm goes directly to fat storage. In other words, completely idiotic.
Now I'm not of the stupid 'whey on waking' club who seem to think you're catabolic as soon as you wake up (it takes me a good 45mins-1hr to actually eat anything after I've got up in the morning, and I can just SEE my biceps shrinking because of this, hell, today it took me an hour and a half and I swear I lost some quad size), but neither do I think that, since you've starved your body of protein all night, that you should wait even longer before eating some.
You're growing all the time, it makes sense to keep the amino pool in your bloodsteam as full as possible for as long as possible.
THIS IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO DROP BODYFAT. It makes 110% sense to kickstart your metabolism with a high protein meal in the morning.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

There's a debate?
i didn't mean that muscle recovery only happens during post-workout and during the night; i meant that that's the time where i put my emphasis on building muscle cuz the rate of muscle recovery + building is much greater; in the morning all i care about is getting some good quality energy
tbh, my knowledge about losing weight is shyte cuz i've never intentionally cut down in my life (apart from when i'm shagging, cuz that's the only reason i do it
). if early morning protein's important for that then all the bestaway for some squats; see yees later

"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.

Ive been busy with the routine Alex gave me - seem to be adding reps and weight weekly on a lot of the exercises. I dont seem to be getting much bigger tho.
Also, sets/reps/weight for pull ups/bicep work/skulls seem to NEVER improve while al my other lifts seem to be fine.
God I hate back work as im so weak in that department!
