"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Need a critique on this routine I came up with. I don't think these are really quite opposing muscle groups, but they seemed like the best compound exercises to do...

Deadlift/Squat 3 sets
Military Press/CG Chinup 3 sets (palms towards)
Bench Press/Dips 3 sets

A superset where you do an exercise for one muscle group, and then immediately follow it up (no rest) with an exercise for the OPPOSING muscle group, then take your rest.
 

"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.

You would be better of restructuring it something like this. With supersets, you're better of working in antagonist muscle pairs. I don't believe it's worth supersetting compound leg exercises as they cover a much larger group of muscles, so you wouldn't be able to lift anywhere close to maximal weights by supersetting them. Personally I don't like to superset exercises because it doesn't allow me to lift maximal poundages (which is what I want to be doing), but if you enjoy doing them or don't have a lot of time to workout then it's alright to do them, I guess...:

Squat OR Deadlift (don't superset this) - 3 sets
Bench Press OR Dips/Bent Over Rows - 3 sets
Posterior Chain Exercise e.g. Good Mornings, Low Cable Pullthroughs, Hyperextensions etc. (no supersetting) - 3 sets
Military Press/Chin Ups - 3 sets

You wouldn't want to be doing this more than 2 times per week (with at least 3-4 days rest in between), otherwise you'll be pushing the boundaries of overtraining...

Watch yourself when it comes to supersetting. Make sure you have decent cardiovascular endurance when doing this form of weight lifting. Your blood pressure stays spiked for a good while if you're truly not resting, so do this routine in moderation.

Standing Military Press3 sets
CG Bench4 sets
Knee Raise on Parallel Bar 3 sets

Friday:
Deadlift 3 sets
DB Bent Over ROW 3 sets
CG Pullup(palms towards) 3 sets
DB Curl: 2 sets
DB Bench: 3 sets
 

"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.

That split looks reasonable.. I'd move the shoulder and tricep exercises to back day and bring the biceps exercise to leg day and add a hamstring exercise as well. Maybe a forearm exercise too.

As for the sets, maximum two sets on everything ballsout will serve you well, one set for deadlifts (high reps though), maybe a widowmaker style set for squats..

It looks sensible though, well done. 2-day splits are often underestimated.
