"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.

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?
 

"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.

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.
