Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
