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)?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Days rest between chest

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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 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.

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.

google for itHockey Playa said:
how long have you been training!?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
