"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Why would you make up your own training program when you could get one written by a professional. Don't write your own programs unless you've had years of successful experience.

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.

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.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

From personal experience, it's too much.

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.

bad idea.....unless it's part of a program like rippetoe. if you're asking basic questions like this, though i suggest you get on a program like rippetoe or the other starter programs suggested here.

You can do it if it works for you.
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.

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.
