"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Is there a limit to how much space you need in between working a particular set of muscles?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

The least time between reasonably for most people is probably about 4 days (in TIME).

It's very common to see a Mon1-Wed-Fri-Mon2 where Mon1 and Fri are the same muscle groups and the same with Wed and Mon2. So you have about 96 hours since your last workout of the same muscle groups assuming you work out at the same time of day.

I think it depends entirely on where you are in your program.

When I started out about 2 yrs ago, I was pretty much lifting 50-60 lbs for all my lifts. There are some real concrete reasons I started so low. I won't go into those now, but check my post history, you'll see.

Bottom line is, if you are way below your potential threshold, I think it's fine to go frequent. I've finally reached the point where I am squatting, deadlifting almost 1.5x my bodyweight, and my benching is past by bodyweight...I can't lift as often as I used to. I keep wittling away my days because I seriously risk overtraining.

Listen to your body. My legs talk to me the most :D If I'm overreaching, they will tell me. At the beginning, work out every day if you can take it. Fine tune your schedule.

It would help if you told us your basics: goals, bodyweight, lifting weights.

depends on how much volume your are doing in the work out.
you could do a full body work out and every other day you work your whole body
or you could do a split and work it once a week.

My goals are to put on bulk. Not to become huge so much, but to have a nice beach body physique that women notice.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Current thought is no more than once per week per body part if you're using very heavy weights.

Working out before the muscles fully recover leads to muscle breakdown.

I didn't believe it at first, but made the change and blasted through a plateau that I'd been hung on for years.
