"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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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)
