"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Finally, thanks.

It could be a 2-3 months of healing in the cast, and a few weeks after that for some getting back to normal

Im still on keto basically, but I have no idea about post and preworkout meals, do I eat carbs here?

Also, what about carb ups? Once a week or less frequent?
 

"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.

The above is a two day upper (obviously) with fairly standard volume, maybe a little lower than average. If you're relatively new to training you should see weekly strength gains on most of the exercises. If it's too much which I doubt it will be, we can lower the daily volume or you can switch to one workout chest/tris/shoulders and the other do back.

If you have never done these exercises spend a few weeks getting your form down and keep the reps higher and the weight lower. After that you should be adding 2.5kg every session to most things except skullcrushers and curls where adding reps some weeks will do instead. This isn't a race, take things a week at a time.


For the diet usually upon starting a keto you go for the first two weeks without anything but trace carbs. EFFORT said a month in this thread I think, but I've not read about that anywhere. He will probably chime in before two weeks is up, so go at least two weeks and see what he has to say about it.

After that it can vary how frequently and how many carbs people intake, it is indvidual. If EFFORT hasn't got back too you after two weeks I'll help you out with it.

So first two weeks, no carbs except from green veggies. This includes pre and post workout.

Good luck,

Quagmire

I can go more than that, 3-4 day routine is possible. Im not a total beginner I was lifting for a year before my leg injury, so feel free to add some intermediate exercises, I can handle a 3-4 day routine also. Also, all the exercises you've recommended ive got my form down, save for the deadlift.

Just want you guys to know you arent working with a complete newbie here

I wouldn't really go more than two days to be honest if you can only do upper body. If you could do everything 3-4 would be fine, but you can't do upperbody 3-4 days a week.

Just get in plenty of cardio!
