"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hi,

I am switching from Option B of the "Where to Start" thread to a 2-day split routine I found on IA. In another thread, I was advised to take some time off since I did the same routine for two and a half months straight, almost.

I was wondering how long I should take off befor ehitting the gym again. I figure a week is a bit on the long side, but at the same time I don't think I should rush myself if my body has to et used to a whole new workout.

Any thoughts?
 

"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.

It depends...when's the last time you've had a week off? You've just been working out for 2 1/2 months?

There are many ways to deload.

You can drop all your weights to 80% for the full week.

You can also drop the number of sets you do on every exercise to say one set, but maintain intensity and try to hit PR's.

These are the simplest. From your other thread, I would recommend you to do the 80% one. If you are feeling really beaten up, you could take a week off, then on the week you return do 80%, and then the week after that start going heavy.

Good luck with the IA routine.
