Just heading out to the gym, i did chest and shoulders monday, wondering if it would hurt to do chest again today maybe with diff exercises (wednesday)?
"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.

"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.

twice a week maximum IF you do all the necessaries to help recovery (cardio, stretching, LOTS of food, glutamine if you believe in it etc, etc)
otherwise just stick to once a week
your chest depends on your back and legs getting bigger to grow anyway

It depends on your goals. If you are trying to get ready for a BB comp, then you might lift chest twice a week. If you are just trying to get into shape or are trying to bulk up, hitting each bodypart HARD once per week should be more than enough.

You can make excelent gains by just working each muscle once a week (abs and calves can be worked more, but they're the exception). Divide it up into three sessions a week.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

How many times you work your chest in a week depends on the intensity. You could hit it once a week and annhialate it. Or you could train it 3 times a week, but with less intensity.
Hitting everything HARD once per week should genereally work for everyone if ur doing everything right. I'd recommend at least 2 days rest for chest, more if its still sore.
I used to do once per week for everything but now I'm doing full body twice a week to switch it up: heres my current program (using Brandon Curry's), I'd recommend it to ppl with a couple years experience to shock your body-
Day 1: Chest & Back & Shoulders (Hypertrophy)
Day 2: Legs & Arms (Strength)
Day 3: Rest
Day 4: Chest, Back, Shoulders (Strength)
Day 5: Arms (Hypertrophy)
Day 6: Legs (Hypertrophy)
Day 7: Rest
On Hypertrophy days I do about 7-12 sets per bodypart, using rest-pause techniques on some exercises. On Strength Days, I do 1 HARD exercise per bodypart (e.g. Legs-Full Squats, Lats- Barbell Rows, Chest-Bench Press) 5x5's or 7 sets of 4 reps.
Throw in some abs and cardio when u want to. Getting results from this after only 1 week!

Your chest is the minor 'big' muscle in your body, and relies on your legs and back growing to grow itself.\O/ said:
Want a big chest? Squat and deadlift.
While we're at it: Want big arms? Squat and deadlift.
Want big shoulders? Squat and deadlift.

"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.
