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?
"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.
How long to wait?

"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.

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.

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.
