"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.

Okay guys, so i'm still a little confused about warm-ups. Like how many sets do i do? on what weight? half of what i'm capable of, and then build up? I'm just really confused about warm-ups since I've never done any before.

Additionally, I changed EFFORT's workout a little, I added pull ups/chin ups and changed the reps to max. Got it from Quik's plan for me.

THE PLAN:
DAY 1(eg. Monday)
Squats 2 x 5
Leg Press 1 x 15 (lighter weight)
Good Mornings or Stiff Leg Deadlifts or Sumo Leg Press 2 x 10-15
Glute Ham Raise or Pullthroughs or Hyperextension 2 x 8
Calf Raises 2 x 10

DAY 2(eg. Wednesday)
Incline Bench Press 2 x 5
Dumbbell Press (Flat/Decline) 2 x 8-10
Shoulder Press 2 x 8-12
Tricep Cable Push-downs 2 x 10-15

DAY 3(eg. Friday)
Deadlifts 2 x 5
Row 2 x 8
Chinup 2 x max
Pullup 2 x max
Bicep Curl 2 x 8-10
Forearm Exercise 2 x 10-15

Tuesday and Thursday will be light cardio (swimming, b-ball, etc.)
Saturday & Sunday = light stretching



Training starts tomorow! :rockon: Max Testing week according to EFFORT's plan.
Can't wait to start up my journal and post some pics up for you guys. :cool:
I also gotta go out and buy some protien powder. Whey Isloate perhaps?

Anyways, thanks for your guy's help. All I need to do now is learn the correct form for the deads and squats and their variations. Hopefully there will be a nice guy at the gym to show me. :)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
