"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.

Hey,

My quads are killing after a session of squats and deads (amongst others). I did a 15 min warm up, and same warm down (lot of time during lunch!), but still have a lot of acid in there & makes walking downstairs a pain!

Can anyone recommend tips or techniques for quick and effective warm-downs?

TIA,
Oscar.
 

"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.

My tip is....never ever do squats and deadlifts on the same day.

I do squats and deads on the same day and I love it.

For soreness:

1) Stretch

2) Drink Lots of water

3) Take your vitamin supplements

4) If 1-3 don't get it done and you need extreme measures, the next day you can ice the muscle down, then do an intense cardio session.

I do 1 and 2 lots, believe me :)

As for the vitamin suppliments - we outside America have found a new supply of vitamins - cheap and very effective! I'm surprised you guys hadn't heard of vegetables yet! ;)

I guess I just need to work more on the stretching!

A harmless megadose of vitamin c should help. (like more than a gram 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.

Like my uncle Sal "The Bettin' Man" used to say...

In my experience, over-soreness like that is almost always alleviated by more pre- and post-workout stretching. This isn't to say that the general burn you get after working out will go away, but painful soreness is almost a thing of the past for me when I stretch more.

the most sensible thing to do would be to increase your energy exertion before working out, and limit the stretching to after the workout, but i'd make sure to do more like 20 minutes light to medium cadio/warmup/down to help rid the muscles of pooled blood. also, try taking ten deep breaths once your done warming down, a good ratio to use is 1 to 4 to 2, as in however long you inhale, hold it for four times that, and exhale for twice as long. this should help to stimulate lymphatic removal of lactic acid
