"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.

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.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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)
 

"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.

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
