"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.

My arms don't seem to be keeping up with the rest of my body. I was thinking of increasing my arm workouts to 2x/week. I usually do arms on fridays (bicep, tricep, forearm).

Would it help if I started doing arms on Mondays (chest) as well?
 

"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.

Well I started doing arms 2x/week.

Apparently nobody here has tried this yet? I'll update in a few weeks and let you know how it's going.

I used to do arms 2x a week, but that was before I started full body workouts. If you're working out all of your body, you should be getting some tri work on chest day and some bi work on back day.

But hey, it's good to try new things.

GUYS, you can train a musclegroup 2x, even 3x a week. there have been countless studies on this to confirm that frequent, low volume progressive exercise can create more hypertrophy (expanding of muscle tissue) and put less stress on your central nervous system then a typical "train each muscle group once a week with several exercises" routine.

I Work out arms 3 times per week in a split routine.

Moday and Friday - Bi's

Wednesday Tri's.

Seems to work well for me - although I'm not doing a lot of sets - or exercises. But I lift heavy - 5 or 6 rep range.

Everybody is different, Period! My muscles respond better with more exercise. If i work each muscle group one time per week, i see little gains (and vice versa).

Keep a journal, try different workouts, and find out what your body responds best to.

"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.
