"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.

Will this amount of cardio hurt my gains?

I'm picking up a weight lifting program where I'll be lifting heavy three days a week, focusing on all of the compound lifts and such. I'll be eating about 2500-3000 calories per day to start with, mostly clean foods, with over 1g protein per pound of bodyweight.

Right now, as it stands, I'm in pretty bad shape. I'm 6'4", 180 lbs, but skinny-fat. In addition to these other changes, my buddy and I decided to start going out jogging a few times a week. Basically just a light jog for a few miles. I enjoy the jog, not necessarily for the health benefits but for the jog itself. Will this jog routine nix/screw over my gains? Thanks.
 

"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.

Any cardio slows down gains but I think your diet needs more attention. 1g per lb seems too low to keep progressing on the big compounds.

It really depends. Your muscle is made of 3 types of fibre. SuperFastTwitch, FastTwitch and SlowTwitch. SFT is used for extreeme intensity with very high weight but the fibres crap out after about 3-6 reps. FT crap out after 8-12 reps with moderate intensity and about 1/2 the weight. And ST can be used for a very long time, >12 reps.

Doing cardio uses ST (eg. a long slow jog) so unless you are training your ST fibres in the gym also... you wont see any difference. It will however increase the recovery time of the other fibres by a bit since they are also used during cardio.
