"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.

Walk before breakfast

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

More fat.

No, you eat nothing and go cardio. When you finish, wait 1 hour then eat.

Amazing fat burning results for me.

Yes. Whey or glutamine before cardio, then whey after. Followed by a carb+protein based meal half an hour later.

Nothing before cardio. If you eat anything you will burn the calories from the food before your fat.

There will be some muscle loss, but you can minimize that with a high protien diet and regular lifting reutine.

Don't worry about muscle loss. Focus on gain.

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.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.

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)
