"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.

There will be some muscle loss, but you can minimize that with a high protien diet and regular lifting reutine.
Cardio HELPS muscle gain. Especially high intensity cardio. It gets you more prepared for your weight lifting sessions. And as a nice side effect, you get lower b.f. and a boost in energy!
Again, eat NOTHING before cardio. First thing in the morning is cardio. If you can't do it in the morning, do it after at least 3 hours past eating anything.
You eat 1 hour AFTER you FINISHED the cardio session.
"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.

true in some cases, but overall it depends on your goals, current bodyfat, bodytype.. the whey will be oxidised for fuel and I see no point in taking it precardio if you're looking to drop some serious fat. if just for bodyfat maintainance I'd be fine with it though.[S]alvatore said:Yes. Whey or glutamine before cardio, then whey after. Followed by a carb+protein based meal half an hour later.
no-one can go wrong with BCAAs pre-cardio (4-6g). the endomorph can get away with nothing else although may need a metabolism booster as well (since their metabolisms tend to be slow anyway) - green tea/caffeine/some thermo/whatever.
if you're a mesomorph you may do fine on just the BCAAs, if you lean towards the ecto side of things you may need to add half a scoop of whey as well.
if you're an ectomorph then why the hell do you need to do morning cardio in the first place.
post-cardio I'd go with BCAAs again although if you're eating half an hour later as Salvatore advised then you probably don't need these. I take BCAAs after cardio because I tend to wait up to an hour post-cardio before eating breakfast. (I'm meso-endo)
