"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.

Erm, so in your opinion, how should a bodybuilder's routine differ from the basic routines proposed here? Why would it possibly be different (serious question...)?

High frequency low volume.
 

"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.

So take your average 165lb guy that wants to add size. His big 3 lifts are poor. You think the best way to size this guy up is to put him on a volume training (bodybuilding style) program where hes using wussy weight to do his sets with? ex max squat is 135lbs so he'll be doing rep work with around 60-80lbs (something like 4x8)

or to put that guy on a powerlifting style routine get his big lifts up to respectable numbers like i outline ex his max squat is 450 now(and he'll have size to match), so now we put him on that same bodybuilding style routine and hes using 250-270lbs for his rep work (something like 4x8)

assuming his eating is good for both methods which way do you think will work better?

Volume training is very effective but only if your using big numbers for your rep work. People get confused because they see the big bodybuilders doing there routines with high volume but miss the fact that the BB's have respectable numbers in the big 3.

Since you've been around the block your big 3 are up there so when your doing your volume training the weight your using for your rep work is giving you your success where as the average guy with sucky big 3's is using wuss weight for his rep work and won't have success.

So you meant High Frequency, Low Volume? Sounds like a form of strength training.

Sure. You can adapt any kind of training routine/program for strength.

When I say high frequency/low volume I mean training each body part 3 times a week with one excercise, 1-2 sets per exercise. 2 sets for bigger body parts 1 set for smaller body parts.

As long as the focus is getting the big 3 to respectable numbers then its good.
 

"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.

Hey i would but ironaddict doesn't allow any of his trainees to post routines that he writes us.

He uses a ton of different routines for people. His first goal with a trainee is to get there big lifts up to good numbers and he'll use lots of Modified Westside Barbell Routines, 5x5 variations, and 10x3 variations to accomplish that.

Getting the "Big 3" up to decent numbers is a good plan. People just need to remember that just because you do get really strong on the big 3 you won't NECESSARILY have gotten very big. This is the sad truth of bodybuilding. Some people WILL get heaps strong, and eat right and rest right and do everything right. But the strength gains alone will not cause the growth they are seeking. This isn't just theory, there are PLENTY of living, breathing examples of this around.

Getting the big 3 up there is a good FIRST STEP in any plan. But eventually, most people seeking SIZE will need to go beyond it.

In my opinion, 'respectable' numbers for the Big 3 are:

Bench: bodyweight x 10
Squat: bw x 20
Deads: 1.5 x bw x 10


If by then you haven't noticed any significant changes in your physique, it's okay to continue getting stronger, but I would start incorporating more volume, higher frequency and auxiliary exercises.
