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 Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
How long to wait?

"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.

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.
"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.
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.
