"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.

I am thinking of doing a split like:

tuesday: back and biceps
wednesday: legs
Thursday: chest and triceps.

or

monday: back and biceps
wednesay: chest and triceps
thursday:legs

the reason being I pretty much go out most weekends on the friday or saturday and often both nights.

I read that recent thread, and know that alcohol and the gym don't really go together, but to be honest i'm not gonna stop, I am trying to cut down, but even my job involves drinking a bit.

So I figure I may as well try and work out around the weekend.

what do you reckon of the 2 splits above? especially the first one, is that to much in a short space of time?

I read your not meant to do squats and deadlifts in the same 48 hours, well I don't do deadlifts, only squats, so that shouldn't matter.
 

"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.

It is far from an optimal split. If you really, really have to do this then go for the second option you posted.

If you're training back hard enough you shouldn't be able to even think about doing legs the next day (or vice versa).

You might just get away with chest before leg day but not for long. When your weights shoot up you'll have to revise the split as you simply won't be able to recover properly.

I'd recommend considering training twice a week in a 2 day split (Mon - Thu) and going truly balls out on those two workouts. If you really pump the intensity then you'll still be able to grow fairly well.

Then again, you've said your lifestyle is hampering your gains anyway, so it might not really make much of a difference. You grow outside the gym, not in it - it's how you spend your offdays (rest and nutrition-wise) that makes or breaks a bodybuilder.

thanks for the feedback.

after having a think about it, I've decided i'm going to cut my drinking to 1 day a week, and maybe just try and start staying sober when going out.

Will be a challenge, drinking seems to be in my blood being irish, but i guess this game is about sacrafices.

Ok, back to the monday, wednesday, friday routine. :cheer:
