"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Just curious when working out 2 body part days (i.e Chest/Bis, Back/Tris) do you guys find it more beneficial to finish one body part and move on to the next, or to alternate back and forth to give them a break?
 

"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.

If my experience its a lot easier if you alternate, especially with antagonizing muscle groups (say chest and back). One of my favorite rotations was alternating incline dumbell press w/ bent over dumbell row.

I talked to my trainers about this, and they said that if hypertrophy is your primary goal, then they recommend tiring out one body part before moving on to another.

Since I'm training for hypertrophy I tired one body part out before moving on. So far its been working quite well, but I've also changed up my entire training modality. I guess it depends on your goal.

I pick the hardest main lift first and do it, then do the next main lift, then assistance afterwards.

Example:

Chest/Back

main lift
Deadlift 3x5
Bench Press 3x5

assistance:
Deadlift 5x10
DB or BB Bench 5x10
Hanging leg raises 5x10
DB or BB Rows 5x10

-

So yeah, I guess it is alternating but the rationale is not to alternate, its to do the hardest things first.
