full body workouts don't suck, HST is designed around them, and I've made great gains during those 8 weeks of HST cycling.
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

it is just personal preference
of course this is my opinion, i havnet lifted that long, getting close to 2 years now
a fully body workout is best done with 2-3 sets and 1-2 exercises per bodypart, and only 2-3 workouts per week, also using as little failure as possibleOriginally posted by vanwilder
"Lets try to pretend for a minute we're actually intelligent people here. Elaborate. Tell me why."
first of all i will pretend you didnt just call me stupid, if that is what you were getting at.
second it is just personal preference
i find that when you do a full body workout, you will not be able to hit everything with an adequate amount of sets and energy for optimal growth (for me becuase at this point this is what im used to). they take much too long if i were to do the same amount of sets if i were to make it equal to waht i would normally do.
putting legs and upper body together is a killer, especially if you are doing squats, deads, bench, or what ever you want to do. i truly feel that a split is necessary.
of course this is my opinion, i havnet lifted that long, getting close to 2 years now, but for me a full body workout has never worked as well as anyhting else.
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.
