"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

For back, can I split widening/thickening?

I have been ignoring my back's thickness for a while.

So, my question would be, is there any draw back from splitting back widening and thickening?

I sorta of cant do them in the same day.

Thanks in advance.
 

"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.

the best way to add mass is to focus your efforts around heavy compound movements (duh) - i really dont know how you would effectively separate thickness/width in a back workout

why ? how did you plan to do it?

and how come you cant get them both into the same workout?

do you do:
deadlifts
bb / db rows
pull-ups
t-bar rows

if not , what?

I do chin up with wide and narrow grips on one day; next day, I would do Bi and chest.

Then, I would do the T bar/ seated rows on my tri days. ( so I hit both Bi and tri on that day.)

if I do rows owith my Chin up, I cant straight bar curl the next day with all out effort.

i would suggest you look into changing your split

i would never do bi after a back day i would want more rest

and you do t-bar rows on tricep day? you might want to reconsider some of this

my split looks like:

1 - chest / bi
2 - legs
3 - rest
4 - shoulders / tri
5 - back
6 - rest
7 - rest

what does a current week in the weight room look like for you?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

my split used to look like this:

1) tri/hamstring/calf
2) off
3) squad/shoulders/ minor bi
4) off
5) back/ widening only
6) chest/ bi
7) off

now i am trying to change.

oh, BTW, the reason that I can train bi after back widening w/o any problem is that now I have changed my grip that allows force transfer directly to the back rather passing by bi.

I wrap my thumb with other 4 fingers, so bi usage is at minium.
