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?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
How long to wait?

"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.

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.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life 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.
