"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.

Ok, it's really hard to explain, but I'll try:


day 1 I train Legs.

day 2, I rest.

day 3, there are 2 possibilities: If I am sore yet, I rest, otherwise I train Chest.

day 4, if I trained on day 3, I rest, otherwise I do what I should have done on day 3

day 5, if I'm not sore, I train Back, otherwise I rest

and so on....


I'll try to make it clearer:

I train every other day if I'm not sore, otherwise I rest for 2 days in a row.
Every time I work out, I train just one body part


What do you think?

Consider that I want to bulk a bit, I'm 65kg more or less and I'd like to get to 70-72 (that is around 15-20 lbs, if i don't mistake)
 

"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.

why would you not train chest if your legs are still sore? Last time i checked you dont need your legs when doing flys or db presses.

I think i'd lift about 1 day a week using this method.

Why modify the base 3way split? You've more or less got got a MWF workout. Add shoulders to leg day, triceps to chest day and biceps to back day and you're there - keep the weekend free for your two full days of rest which should make sure your body's ready for the next week.

As for being sore, I agree with the other posters, having sore legs doesn't mean you can't train your chest. What if you do a really hard squat set and feel it in your quads for a few days? Do you just stop working out?

Having said that, exercising a muscle group which is still very sore can be dangerous. If you're lifting and it hurts, stop before you do some serious damage.

Otherwise, I can't see a reason why not to do the basic 3way split. It's more or less what you described anyway.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

i read somewhere that if you work out while your body is recovering, the recovering will be longer and less effective, i don't know if it's true or not

i noticed that when i concentrate just on one muscle group per day, i work it out far better. plus, when i let myself rest for longer times, my muscles grow more
