"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.

probably a dumb question but i was just wondering. i know that the reason it hurts while working out is a realease of acid. but why do you get sore the next day.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Well, when you lift, you break down your muscles. The fibers are ripped apart and then when they heal back together your muscles are stronger. I assume that these rips in the muscle fibers are what caused the pain, although I could be wrong.

Well there's at least one 'expert' out there that agrees with you.

from http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1999/01_99/muscle.htm

DOMS is thought to be a result of microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers. The amount of tearing depends on how hard and how long you exercise and what type of exercise you do.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Because lifting and injury releases endorphines. You won't feel the pain right away until the body focuses on healing. Like a sprained ankle doesn't hurt so bad, you can keep going, but you'll feel it the next day.

Soreness is caused by release of lactic acid and microscopic tearing of the muscles.

There is also a whole inflammatory reaction that occurs at the level of the muscle fiber. Several inflammatory molecules are released. This is why anti-inflammatories such as aspirin and ibuprofen are effective for DOMS.

Okay so here's another question:

Sometimes I feel not quite as sort two days after I the heavy workout but still a little stiff. Is it good to hit the muscles again or wait until there is no soreness.

I've also been taking MRP Protien that has Glutimine that is supposed to help.

Thanks, Elimidate

Some types of soreness are good indicators that you are overtraining.

Example. My shoulder was sore as hell from bench pressing. I was lifting too much too quickly. This meant that I needed to take a break.

But if you are training in a sane manner, soreness is natural and you don't need to wait until the soreness goes away (although that isn't a bad idea). Just give it at least 48 hrs rest for that bodypart.
 

"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.

Heres my two cents. I have trained for 7 years. I do believe it is possible to overtrain even when you aren't hoisting the heaviest weights.

Why? Because the body needs to recover when it expends alot of energy.

These bodybuilding workouts where a guy workouts 6 days in a row are crazy.

I am of the opinion now that it is better to always have a day between lifting workouts, even when you are lifting with other body parts. Because it takes a bit out of you.

With running, it may be a different deal. Also if you are training athletically for a competion, you might not have the advantage getting more rest since your training goals are so soon.

I think it is far better to work out hard and get a bit more rest than do several half assed workouts in a row.

You can't go wrong by giving the body an extra day of rest every now and again.
