I workout most of my upper body about 2-3 times a week. I usually wait at least two days or so for the muscles to rebuild. Should I wait more than that?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
How long to wait?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Depends. If you're after just general fitness and stuff you seem fine. If you want to grow muscle then you'd be better off with a different split..

work other stuff. give each muscle group four or five days to recover, but you can work other groups in the meantime
my schedule looks like:
mon- back, neck/traps, legs
tue-off
wed-chest, tricep
thu-shoulder, bicep
fri-off
sat-legs, abs
sun-off, or maybe work tri and bi
smaller muscles (like bicep, abs, and tricep) heal faster than the big ones (like chest and lower back), which take a few more days to recover.
so you can work small muscles twice a week. i only work big muscles once a week

When I work out I work out just about every muscle every time. I'm only in there for a little over an hour. I take a 2 or 3 day break in between each time.
"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 long have you been lifting weights? When you just start you have the ability to recover quickly so what your doing right now is okay. Begginers gains rock, take advantage of them.Originally posted by Caldus

However, eventually you are going to have to start hitting the muscle group more intensely and less often to ensure you dont over train.

I've been doing this routine for 6 months or so. Is it time to change?Originally posted by Sammo

I've noticed some good results so far and I'm not even taking one of those protein powders or anything. I just be sure to eat a lot of protein after my workout.
