"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.

I wanna make myself a new workout program, but I'm wondering about upper body workouts.

Right now I'm doing Tri's, Bi's and Shoulders one day, and Chest/Back another, but I'm wondering if I should do Tri's and Chest one day and Bi's and Back the other?

What's your take on this?
 

"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.

Man you're going to look like a freak. Ever heard of leg exercises, squats for example?

I just do upper body as a whole twice a week.......is there some benefit to splitting it up like that? Muscles grow quicker?

You mean me? I do legs only once a week, but they grow a lot faster than my upper body. I do series of leg press with like 600-700lbs, and one-legged calf raises on the leg press machine with about 500lbs.... So I do know leg exercises.

About squats, if you're wondering.. I don't do them. I'll try to start doing them again, but when I was young I had a back injury and it hurt last time I did squats, (a year ago) so I'm not sure if I should do them.

My legs respond well to my usual workouts, but my upper-body is lacking.

My split currently is:
Monday: Chest/Back/Abs
Tuesday: Bis/Tris/Shoulders
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Chest/Back/Abs
Friday: Bis/Tris/Shoulders

I'm considering the addition of a second leg day but I'm not sure about it.

BTW, I've been working out for about 2 years, almost non-stop.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I've got a little back problem. A Powerlifter/Nurse at my gym showed me how to do them without hurting it. Get someone there to help you with it.

He told me don't use any padding, let the weight be one with you. Keep your feet withing a foot of eachother. Arch your back, and don't let it bend forward when you go down.

I do the same kind of routine as Johnny Vegas. I work out my chest/shoulders/triceps on Monday and Thursday; back/biceps/traps on wed and Saturday. With a rountine like this you burn out all the primary and secondary muscles in one day.

To me this is more effective than doing chest one day and than do triceps another day.:cool:

Wow I wish I could work out the body part twice in a week, but I think i work it out too hard and I can't do it without being overtrained. I simply can't lift the heavy weights for a given bodypart twice a week, I wish my recovery would allow it
