"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.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Depends, if you can't train many sessions it can work but ideally it's better to train them seperate IMO to put all you've got into both.RedSky said:Just wondering if its a gud idea to train both back and legs on the same day or would that be too much for one day.
Cheers for any advice

Sure if you're doing some light endurance/conditioning back & leg training it's fine, but if you're lifting heavy, then... just no.
At the end of a good Legs day, I can barely walk afterwards, doing another heavy and intense workout is OUT OF THE QUESTION.
But, its up to you. Try it and see how you feel, just remember to keep the intensity high.
he speaks truth.Kidquick said:I would avoid doing deadlifts and squats on the same day, since they can both fatigue the lower back and create a potential for injury. I set aside a whole day just for legs and it has worked out pretty well.
i wouldnt try deadlifts and squats on the same day if ur training heavy.

It is probably going to be an individualistic thing. I read powerliftinguk and see AndyBolton and the guys he trains with doing squats+deads on the same day. And his training group ranges from intermediate to elite. He is the deadlift record holder and was the squat holder until recently. I also see him recommending it on his forum.Quagmire911 said:You can do it if it works for you.
I have recently being doing it myself. If you want to try squats+deads, then put the squats first and use a low rep range. I have been doing front squats 3x3 followed by rack deads 1x3, 1x10. PR'ed on them both yesterday. I would never do a 1x20 on squats and then deads though, bad idea.
